Documentation

Agent-native CLI for Cloudflare Registrar domain search, check, and registration.

Created by @danny-shmueli (Danny Shmueli).

Quick Start

1. Install

See Install above.

2. Set Up Credentials

Get your access token from your API provider's developer portal, then store it:

cf-domain-pp-cli auth set-token YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

Or set it via environment variable:

export CLOUDFLARE_REGISTRAR_DOMAINS_BEARER_AUTH="your-token-here"

3. Verify Setup

cf-domain-pp-cli doctor

This checks your configuration and credentials.

4. Try Your First Command

cf-domain-pp-cli registrar domain-check mock-value --domain-name example-resource

Usage

Run cf-domain-pp-cli --help for the full command reference and flag list.

Commands

registrar

Manage registrar

  • cf-domain-pp-cli registrar domain-check - Real-time domain availability and pricing check. Must be run immediately before registration.
  • cf-domain-pp-cli registrar domain-register - Register a domain through Cloudflare Registrar using account default registrant/payment settings. Dangerous: caller must confirm exact domain and price before this request.
  • cf-domain-pp-cli registrar domain-search - Search Cloudflare Registrar for domain suggestions and availability hints. Use domain-check for live final pricing before registering.

Output Formats

# Human-readable table (default in terminal, JSON when piped)
cf-domain-pp-cli registrar domain-check mock-value --domain-name example-resource

# JSON for scripting and agents
cf-domain-pp-cli registrar domain-check mock-value --domain-name example-resource --json

# Filter to specific fields
cf-domain-pp-cli registrar domain-check mock-value --domain-name example-resource --json --select id,name,status

# Dry run — show the request without sending
cf-domain-pp-cli registrar domain-check mock-value --domain-name example-resource --dry-run

# Agent mode — JSON + compact + no prompts in one flag
cf-domain-pp-cli registrar domain-check mock-value --domain-name example-resource --agent

Agent Usage

This CLI is designed for AI agent consumption:

  • Non-interactive - never prompts, every input is a flag
  • Pipeable - --json output to stdout, errors to stderr
  • Filterable - --select id,name returns only fields you need
  • Previewable - --dry-run shows the request without sending
  • Explicit retries - add --idempotent to create retries when a no-op success is acceptable
  • Confirmable - --yes for explicit confirmation of destructive actions
  • Piped input - write commands can accept structured input when their help lists --stdin
  • Offline-friendly - sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
  • Agent-safe by default - no colors or formatting unless --human-friendly is set

Exit codes: 0 success, 2 usage error, 3 not found, 4 auth error, 5 API error, 7 rate limited, 10 config error.

Health Check

cf-domain-pp-cli doctor

Verifies configuration, credentials, and connectivity to the API.

Configuration

Config file: ~/.config/cloudflare-registrar-domains-pp-cli/config.toml
