    access to the entire
    Cloudflare API over MCP while consuming only around=
    1,000 tokens. Code
    Mode is a technique for reducing context window usage=

    a typed SDK
    and executing the code safely in a Dynamic Worker Loader inst=
    ead of
    describing every operation as a separate tool. The code acts as a=

    ownership is clear, and individuals are empow=
    ered to build end-to-end.
    The team has truly embraced AI as a way to be m=

    <strong>Code Mode: give agents an e= ntire API in 1,000 tokens (6 minute read)</strong>
    </span>



    <span style=3D"font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
    Cloudflare has introduced a new MCP for=
    the entire Cloudflare API that uses Code Mode. The server can provide acce=
    ss to the entire Cloudflare API over MCP while consuming only around 1,000 = tokens. Code Mode is a technique for reducing context window usage during a= gent tool use. It involves letting the model write code against a typed SDK=
    and executing the code safely in a Dynamic Worker Loader instead of descri= bing every operation as a separate tool. The code acts as a compact plan, a=
    nd the model can explore tool operations, compose multiple calls, and retur=
    n just the data it needs.
