Cloudflare Agents SDK
Status: Production Ready ✅ Last Updated: 2025-10-21 Dependencies: cloudflare-worker-base (recommended) Latest Versions: agents@latest, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@latest Production Tested: Cloudflare's own MCP servers (https://github.com/cloudflare/mcp-server-cloudflare)

What is Cloudflare Agents?
The Cloudflare Agents SDK enables building AI-powered autonomous agents that run on Cloudflare Workers + Durable Objects. Agents can:
- Communicate in real-time via WebSockets and Server-Sent Events
- Persist state with built-in SQLite database (up to 1GB per agent)
- Schedule tasks using delays, specific dates, or cron expressions
- Run workflows by triggering asynchronous Cloudflare Workflows
- Browse the web using Browser Rendering API + Puppeteer
- Implement RAG with Vectorize vector database + Workers AI embeddings
- Build MCP servers implementing the Model Context Protocol
- Support human-in-the-loop patterns for review and approval
- Scale to millions of independent agent instances globally
Each agent instance is a globally unique, stateful micro-server that can run for seconds, minutes, or hours.

Quick Start (10 Minutes)
1. Scaffold Project with Template
npm create cloudflare@latest my-agent -- \
--template=cloudflare/agents-starter \
--ts \
--git \
--deploy falseWhat this creates:
- Complete Agent project structure
- TypeScript configuration
- wrangler.jsonc with Durable Objects bindings
- Example chat agent implementation
- React client with useAgent hook
2. Or Add to Existing Worker
cd my-existing-worker
npm install agentsThen create an Agent class:
// src/index.ts
import { Agent, AgentNamespace } from "agents";
export class MyAgent extends Agent {
async onRequest(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
return new Response("Hello from Agent!");
}
}
export default MyAgent;3. Configure Durable Objects Binding
Create or update wrangler.jsonc:
{
"$schema": "node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json",
"name": "my-agent",
"main": "src/index.ts",
"compatibility_date": "2025-10-21",
"compatibility_flags": ["nodejs_compat"],
"durable_objects": {
"bindings": [
{
"name": "MyAgent", // MUST match class name
"class_name": "MyAgent" // MUST match exported class
}
]
},
"migrations": [
{
"tag": "v1",
"new_sqlite_classes": ["MyAgent"] // CRITICAL: Enables SQLite storage
}
]
}CRITICAL Configuration Rules:
- ✅
nameandclass_nameMUST be identical - ✅
new_sqlite_classesMUST be in first migration (cannot add later) - ✅ Agent class MUST be exported (or binding will fail)
- ✅ Migration tags CANNOT be reused (each migration needs unique tag)
4. Deploy
npx wrangler@latest deployYour agent is now running at: https://my-agent.<subdomain>.workers.dev

}
}Migrations Best Practices
Atomic Deployments: Migrations are atomic operations - they cannot be gradually deployed.
{
"migrations": [
{
"tag": "v1",
"new_sqlite_classes": ["MyAgent"] // Initial: enable SQLite
},
{
"tag": "v2",
"renamed_classes": [
{"from": "MyAgent", "to": "MyRenamedAgent"}
]
},
{
"tag": "v3",
"deleted_classes": ["OldAgent"]
},
{
"tag": "v4",
"transferred_classes": [
{
"from": "AgentInOldScript",
"from_script": "old-worker",
"to": "AgentInNewScript"
}
]
}
]
}Migration Rules:
- ✅ Each migration needs a unique
tag - ✅ Cannot enable SQLite on existing deployed class (must be in first migration)
- ✅ Migrations apply in order during deployment
- ✅ Cannot edit or remove previous migration tags
- ❌ Never deploy new migrations gradually (atomic only)
Environment-Specific Migrations
{
"migrations": [{"tag": "v1", "new_sqlite_classes": ["MyAgent"]}],
"env": {
"staging": {
"migrations": [
{"tag": "v1", "new_sqlite_classes": ["MyAgent"]},
{"tag": "v2-staging", "renamed_classes": [{"from": "MyAgent", "to": "StagingAgent"}]}
]
}

Agent Class API
The Agent class is the foundation of the Agents SDK. Extend it to create your agent.
Basic Agent Structure
import { Agent } from "agents";
interface Env {
// Environment variables and bindings
OPENAI_API_KEY: string;
AI: Ai;
VECTORIZE: Vectorize;
DB: D1Database;
}
interface State {
// Your agent's persistent state
counter: number;
messages: string[];
lastUpdated: Date | null;
}
export class MyAgent extends Agent<Env, State> {
// Optional: Set initial state (first time agent is created)
initialState: State = {
counter: 0,
messages: [],
lastUpdated: null
};
// Optional: Called when agent instance starts or wakes from hibernation
async onStart() {
console.log('Agent started:', this.name, 'State:', this.state);
}
// Handle HTTP requests
async onRequest(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
return Response.json({ message: "Hello from Agent", state: this.state });
}
// Handle WebSocket connections (optional)
async onConnect(connection: Connection, ctx: ConnectionContext) {
console.log('Client connected:', connection.id);
// Connections are automatically accepted
}
// Handle WebSocket messages (optional)
async onMessage(connection: Connection, message: WSMessage) {
if (typeof message === 'string') {
connection.send(`Echo: ${message}`);
}
}
// Handle WebSocket errors (optional)
async onError(connection: Connection, error: unknown): Promise<void> {
console.error('Connection error:', error);
}
// Handle WebSocket close (optional)
async onClose(connection: Connection, code: number, reason: string, wasClean: boolean): Promise<void> {
console.log('Connection closed:', code, reason);
}
// Called when state is updated from any source (optional)
onStateUpdate(state: State, source: "server" | Connection) {
console.log('State updated:', state, 'Source:', source);
}
// Custom methods (call from any handler)
async customMethod(data: any) {
this.setState({
...this.state,
counter: this.state.counter + 1,
lastUpdated: new Date()
});
}
}Accessing Agent Properties
Within any Agent method:
export class MyAgent extends Agent<Env, State> {
async someMethod() {
// Access environment variables and bindings
const apiKey = this.env.OPENAI_API_KEY;
const ai = this.env.AI;
// Access current state (read-only)
const counter = this.state.counter;
// Update state (persisted automatically)
this.setState({ ...this.state, counter: counter + 1 });
// Access SQL database
const results = await this.sql`SELECT * FROM users`;
// Get agent instance name
const instanceName = this.name; // e.g., "user-123"
// Schedule tasks
await this.schedule(60, "runLater", { data: "example" });
// Call other methods
await this.customMethod({ foo: "bar" });
}
}---
HTTP & Server-Sent Events
HTTP Request Handling
export class MyAgent extends Agent<Env> {
async onRequest(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
const url = new URL(request.url);
const method = request.method;
if (method === "POST" && url.pathname === "/increment") {
const counter = (this.state.counter || 0) + 1;
this.setState({ ...this.state, counter });
return Response.json({ counter });
}
if (method === "GET" && url.pathname === "/status") {
return Response.json({ state: this.state, name: this.name });
}
return new Response("Not Found", { status: 404 });
}
}Server-Sent Events (SSE) Streaming
export class MyAgent extends Agent<Env> {
async onRequest(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
const stream = new ReadableStream({
async start(controller) {
const encoder = new TextEncoder();
// Send events to client
controller.enqueue(encoder.encode('data: {"message": "Starting"}\n\n'));
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
controller.enqueue(encoder.encode('data: {"message": "Processing"}\n\n'));
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
controller.enqueue(encoder.encode('data: {"message": "Complete"}\n\n'));
controller.close();
}
});
return new Response(stream, {
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'text/event-stream',
'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
'Connection': 'keep-alive'
}
});
}
}SSE vs WebSockets:
| Feature | SSE | WebSockets |
|---|---|---|
| Direction | Server → Client only | Bi-directional |
| Protocol | HTTP | ws:// or wss:// |
| Reconnection | Automatic | Manual |
| Binary Data | Limited | Full support |
| Use Case | Streaming responses, notifications | Chat, real-time collaboration |
Recommendation: Use WebSockets for most agent applications (full duplex, better for long sessions).

WebSockets
Complete WebSocket Example
import { Agent, Connection, ConnectionContext, WSMessage } from "agents";
interface ChatState {
messages: Array<{ id: string; text: string; sender: string; timestamp: number }>;
participants: string[];
}
export class ChatAgent extends Agent<Env, ChatState> {
initialState: ChatState = {
messages: [],
participants: []
};
async onConnect(connection: Connection, ctx: ConnectionContext) {
// Access original HTTP request for auth
const authHeader = ctx.request.headers.get('Authorization');
const userId = ctx.request.headers.get('X-User-ID') || 'anonymous';
// Connections are automatically accepted
// Optionally close connection if unauthorized:
// if (!authHeader) {
// connection.close(401, "Unauthorized");
// return;
// }
// Add to participants
this.setState({
...this.state,
participants: [...this.state.participants, userId]
});
// Send welcome message
connection.send(JSON.stringify({
type: 'welcome',
message: 'Connected to chat',
participants: this.state.participants
}));
}
async onMessage(connection: Connection, message: WSMessage) {
if (typeof message === 'string') {
try {
const data = JSON.parse(message);
if (data.type === 'chat') {
// Add message to state
const newMessage = {
id: crypto.randomUUID(),
text: data.text,
sender: data.sender || 'anonymous',
timestamp: Date.now()
};
this.setState({
...this.state,
messages: [...this.state.messages, newMessage]
});
// Broadcast to this connection (state sync will broadcast to all)
connection.send(JSON.stringify({
type: 'message_added',
message: newMessage
}));
}
} catch (e) {
connection.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'error', message: 'Invalid message format' }));
}
}
}
async onError(connection: Connection, error: unknown): Promise<void> {
console.error('WebSocket error:', error);
// Optionally log to external monitoring
}
async onClose(connection: Connection, code: number, reason: string, wasClean: boolean): Promise<void> {
console.log(`Connection ${connection.id} closed:`, code, reason, wasClean);
// Clean up connection-specific state if needed
}
}Connection Management
export class MyAgent extends Agent {
async onMessage(connection: Connection, message: WSMessage) {
// Connection properties
const connId = connection.id; // Unique connection ID
const connState = connection.state; // Connection-specific state
// Update connection state (not agent state)
connection.setState({ ...connection.state, lastActive: Date.now() });
// Send to this connection only
connection.send("Message to this client");
// Close connection programmatically
connection.close(1000, "Goodbye");
}
}---
State Management
Using setState()
interface UserState {
name: string;
email: string;
preferences: { theme: string; notifications: boolean };
loginCount: number;
lastLogin: Date | null;
}
export class UserAgent extends Agent<Env, UserState> {
initialState: UserState = {
name: "",
email: "",
preferences: { theme: "dark", notifications: true },
loginCount: 0,
lastLogin: null
};
async onRequest(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
if (request.method === "POST" && new URL(request.url).pathname === "/login") {
// Update state
this.setState({
...this.state,
loginCount: this.state.loginCount + 1,
lastLogin: new Date()
});
// State is automatically persisted and synced to connected clients
return Response.json({ success: true, state: this.state });
}
return Response.json({ state: this.state });
}
onStateUpdate(state: UserState, source: "server" | Connection) {
console.log('State updated:', state);
console.log('Source:', source); // "server" or Connection object
// React to state changes
if (state.loginCount > 10) {
console.log('Frequent user!');
}
}
}State Rules:
- ✅ State is JSON-serializable (objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, null)
- ✅ State persists across agent restarts
- ✅ State is immediately consistent within the agent
- ✅ State automatically syncs to connected WebSocket clients
- ❌ State cannot contain functions or circular references
- ❌ Total state size limited by database size (1GB max per agent)
Using SQL Database
Each agent has a built-in SQLite database accessible via this.sql:
export class MyAgent extends Agent {
async onStart() {
// Create tables on first start
await this.sql`
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
name TEXT NOT NULL,
email TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
created_at DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
)
`;
await this.sql`
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_email ON users(email)
`;
}
async addUser(name: string, email: string) {
// Insert with prepared statement (prevents SQL injection)
const result = await this.sql`
INSERT INTO users (name, email)
VALUES (${name}, ${email})
`;
return result;
}
async getUser(email: string) {
// Query returns array of results
const users = await this.sql`
SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ${email}
`;
return users[0] || null;
}
async getAllUsers() {
const users = await this.sql`
SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY created_at DESC
`;
return users;
}
async updateUser(id: number, name: string) {
await this.sql`
UPDATE users SET name = ${name} WHERE id = ${id}
`;
}
async deleteUser(id: number) {
await this.sql`
DELETE FROM users WHERE id = ${id}
`;
}
}SQL Best Practices:
- ✅ Use tagged template literals (prevents SQL injection)
- ✅ Create indexes for frequently queried columns
- ✅ Use transactions for multiple related operations
- ✅ Query results are always arrays (even for single row)
- ❌ Don't construct SQL strings manually
- ❌ Be mindful of 1GB database size limit
---
Schedule Tasks
Agents can schedule tasks to run in the future using this.schedule().
Delay (Seconds)
export class MyAgent extends Agent {
async onRequest(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
// Schedule task to run in 60 seconds
const { id } = await this.schedule(60, "checkStatus", { requestId: "123" });
return Response.json({ scheduledTaskId: id });
}
// This method will be called in 60 seconds
async checkStatus(data: { requestId: string }) {
console.log('Checking status for request:', data.requestId);
// Perform check, update state, send notification, etc.
}
}Specific Date
export class MyAgent extends Agent {
async scheduleReminder(reminderDate: string) {
const date = new Date(reminderDate);
const { id } = await this.schedule(date, "sendReminder", {
message: "Time for your appointment!"
});
return id;
}
async sendReminder(data: { message: string }) {
console.log('Sending reminder:', data.message);
// Send email, push notification, etc.
}
}Cron Expressions
export class MyAgent extends Agent {
async setupRecurringTasks() {
// Every 10 minutes
await this.schedule("*/10 * * * *", "checkUpdates", {});
// Every day at 8 AM
await this.schedule("0 8 * * *", "dailyReport", {});
// Every Monday at 9 AM
await this.schedule("0 9 * * 1", "weeklyReport", {});
// Every hour on the hour
await this.schedule("0 * * * *", "hourlyCheck", {});
}
async checkUpdates(data: any) {
console.log('Checking for updates...');
}
async dailyReport(data: any) {
console.log('Generating daily report...');
}
async weeklyReport(data: any) {
console.log('Generating weekly report...');
}
async hourlyCheck(data: any) {
console.log('Running hourly check...');
}
}Managing Scheduled Tasks
export class MyAgent extends Agent {
async manageSchedules() {
// Get all scheduled tasks
const allTasks = this.getSchedules();
console.log('Total tasks:', allTasks.length);
// Get specific task by ID
const taskId = "some-task-id";
const task = await this.getSchedule(taskId);
if (task) {
console.log('Task:', task.callback, 'at', new Date(task.time));
console.log('Payload:', task.payload);
console.log('Type:', task.type); // "scheduled" | "delayed" | "cron"
// Cancel the task
const cancelled = await this.cancelSchedule(taskId);
console.log('Cancelled:', cancelled);
}
// Get tasks in time range
const upcomingTasks = this.getSchedules({
timeRange: {
start: new Date(),
end: new Date(Date.now() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) // Next 24 hours
}
});
console.log('Upcoming tasks:', upcomingTasks.length);
// Filter by type
const cronTasks = this.getSchedules({ type: "cron" });
const delayedTasks = this.getSchedules({ type: "delayed" });
}
}Scheduling Constraints:
- Each task maps to a SQL database row (max 2 MB per task)
- Total tasks limited by:
(task_size * count) + other_state < 1GB - Cron tasks continue running until explicitly cancelled
- Callback method MUST exist on Agent class (throws error if missing)
CRITICAL ERROR: If callback method doesn't exist:
// ❌ BAD: Method doesn't exist
await this.schedule(60, "nonExistentMethod", {});
// ✅ GOOD: Method exists
await this.schedule(60, "existingMethod", {});
async existingMethod(data: any) {
// Implementation
}---
Run Workflows
Agents can trigger asynchronous Cloudflare Workflows.
Workflow Binding Configuration
wrangler.jsonc:
{
"workflows": [
{
"name": "MY_WORKFLOW",
"class_name": "MyWorkflow"
}
]
}If Workflow is in a different script:
{
"workflows": [
{
"name": "EMAIL_WORKFLOW",
"class_name": "EmailWorkflow",
"script_name": "email-workflows" // Different project
}
]
}Triggering a Workflow
import { Agent } from "agents";
import { WorkflowEntrypoint, WorkflowEvent, WorkflowStep } from "cloudflare:workers";
interface Env {
MY_WORKFLOW: Workflow;
MyAgent: AgentNamespace<MyAgent>;
}
export class MyAgent extends Agent<Env> {
async onRequest(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
const userId = new URL(request.url).searchParams.get('userId');
// Trigger a workflow immediately
const instance = await this.env.MY_WORKFLOW.create({
id: `user-${userId}`,
params: { userId, action: "process" }
});
// Or schedule a delayed workflow trigger
await this.schedule(300, "runWorkflow", { userId });
return Response.json({ workflowId: instance.id });
}
async runWorkflow(data: { userId: string }) {
const instance = await this.env.MY_WORKFLOW.create({
id: `delayed-${data.userId}`,
params: data
});
// Monitor workflow status periodically
await this.schedule("*/5 * * * *", "checkWorkflowStatus", { id: instance.id });
}
async checkWorkflowStatus(data: { id: string }) {
// Check workflow status (see Workflows docs for details)
console.log('Checking workflow:', data.id);
}
}
// Workflow definition (can be in same or different file/project)
export class MyWorkflow extends WorkflowEntrypoint<Env> {
async run(event: WorkflowEvent<{ userId: string }>, step: WorkflowStep) {
// Workflow implementation
const result = await step.do('process-data', async () => {
return { processed: true };
});
return result;
}
}Agents vs Workflows
| Feature | Agents | Workflows |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Interactive, user-facing | Background processing |
| Duration | Seconds to hours | Minutes to hours |
| State | SQLite database | Step-based checkpoints |
| Interaction | WebSockets, HTTP | No direct interaction |
| Retry | Manual | Automatic per step |
| Use Case | Chat, real-time UI | ETL, batch processing |
Best Practice: Use Agents to coordinate multiple Workflows. Agents can trigger, monitor, and respond to Workflow results while maintaining user interaction.

async onRequest(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
const { message } = await request.json();
const result = await this.chat(message);
return Response.json(result);
}
}Metadata Filtering
// Create metadata indexes BEFORE inserting vectors
await this.env.VECTORIZE.createMetadataIndex("category");
await this.env.VECTORIZE.createMetadataIndex("language");
// Query with filters
const results = await this.env.VECTORIZE.query(queryVector, {
topK: 10,
filter: {
category: { $eq: "documentation" },
language: { $eq: "en" }
}
});See: cloudflare-vectorize skill for complete Vectorize guide.

Using AI Models
AI SDK (Vercel)
npm install ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/anthropicimport { Agent } from "agents";
import { generateText, streamText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";
export class AIAgent extends Agent {
// Simple text generation
async generateResponse(prompt: string) {
const { text } = await generateText({
model: openai('gpt-4o-mini'),
prompt
});
return text;
}
// Streaming response
async streamResponse(prompt: string): Promise<Response> {
const result = streamText({
model: anthropic('claude-sonnet-4-5'),
prompt
});
return result.toTextStreamResponse();
}
// Structured output
async extractData(text: string) {
const { object } = await generateObject({
model: openai('gpt-4o-mini'),
schema: z.object({
name: z.string(),
email: z.string().email(),
age: z.number().optional()
}),
prompt: `Extract user info from: ${text}`
});
return object;
}
}Workers AI
interface Env {
AI: Ai;
}
export class WorkersAIAgent extends Agent<Env> {
async generateText(prompt: string) {
const response = await this.env.AI.run('@cf/meta/llama-3-8b-instruct', {
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: prompt }]
});
return response;
}
async generateImage(prompt: string) {
const response = await this.env.AI.run('@cf/black-forest-labs/flux-1-schnell', {
prompt
});
return response;
}
}See: cloudflare-workers-ai skill for complete Workers AI guide.
---
Calling Agents
Using routeAgentRequest
Automatically route requests to agents based on URL pattern /agents/:agent/:name:
import { Agent, AgentNamespace, routeAgentRequest } from 'agents';
interface Env {
MyAgent: AgentNamespace<MyAgent>;
}
export default {
async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
// Routes to: /agents/my-agent/user-123
const response = await routeAgentRequest(request, env);
if (response) {
return response;
}
return new Response("Not Found", { status: 404 });
}
} satisfies ExportedHandler<Env>;
export class MyAgent extends Agent<Env> {
async onRequest(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
return Response.json({ agent: this.name });
}
}URL Pattern: /agents/my-agent/user-123
my-agent= class name in kebab-caseuser-123= agent instance name
Using getAgentByName
For custom routing or calling agents from Workers:
import { Agent, AgentNamespace, getAgentByName } from 'agents';
interface Env {
MyAgent: AgentNamespace<MyAgent>;
}
export default {
async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
const userId = new URL(request.url).searchParams.get('userId') || 'anonymous';
// Get or create agent instance
const agent = getAgentByName<Env, MyAgent>(env.MyAgent, `user-${userId}`);
// Pass request to agent
return (await agent).fetch(request);
}
} satisfies ExportedHandler<Env>;
export class MyAgent extends Agent<Env> {
// Agent implementation
}Calling Agent Methods Directly
export default {
async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
const agent = getAgentByName<Env, MyAgent>(env.MyAgent, 'user-123');
// Call custom methods on agent using RPC
const result = await (await agent).customMethod({ data: "example" });
return Response.json({ result });
}
}
export class MyAgent extends Agent<Env> {
async customMethod(params: { data: string }): Promise<any> {
return { processed: params.data };
}
}Multi-Agent Communication
interface Env {
AgentA: AgentNamespace<AgentA>;
AgentB: AgentNamespace<AgentB>;
}
export class AgentA extends Agent<Env> {
async processData(data: any) {
// Call another agent
const agentB = getAgentByName<Env, AgentB>(this.env.AgentB, 'processor-1');
const result = await (await agentB).analyze(data);
return result;
}
}
export class AgentB extends Agent<Env> {
async analyze(data: any) {
return { analyzed: true, data };
}
}Authentication Patterns
export default {
async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
// Authenticate BEFORE invoking agent
const authHeader = request.headers.get('Authorization');
if (!authHeader) {
return new Response("Unauthorized", { status: 401 });
}
const userId = await verifyToken(authHeader);
if (!userId) {
return new Response("Forbidden", { status: 403 });
}
// Only create/access agent for authenticated users
const agent = getAgentByName<Env, MyAgent>(env.MyAgent, `user-${userId}`);
return (await agent).fetch(request);
}
}CRITICAL: Always authenticate in Worker, NOT in Agent. Agents should assume the caller is authorized.
---
Client APIs
AgentClient (Browser)
import { AgentClient } from "agents/client";
// Connect to agent instance
const client = new AgentClient({
agent: "chat-agent", // Class name in kebab-case
name: "room-123", // Instance name
host: window.location.host
});
client.onopen = () => {
console.log("Connected");
client.send(JSON.stringify({ type: "join", user: "alice" }));
};
client.onmessage = (event) => {
const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
console.log("Received:", data);
};
client.onclose = () => {
console.log("Disconnected");
};agentFetch (HTTP Requests)
import { agentFetch } from "agents/client";
async function getData() {
const response = await agentFetch(
{ agent: "my-agent", name: "user-123" },
{
method: "GET",
headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${token}` }
}
);
const data = await response.json();
return data;
}useAgent Hook (React)
import { useAgent } from "agents/react";
import { useState } from "react";
function ChatUI() {
const [messages, setMessages] = useState([]);
const connection = useAgent({
agent: "chat-agent",
name: "room-123",
onMessage: (event) => {
const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
if (data.type === 'message') {
setMessages(prev => [...prev, data.message]);
}
},
onOpen: () => console.log("Connected"),
onClose: () => console.log("Disconnected")
});
const sendMessage = (text: string) => {
connection.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'chat', text }));
};
return (
<div>
{messages.map((msg, i) => <div key={i}>{msg.text}</div>)}
<button onClick={() => sendMessage("Hello")}>Send</button>
</div>
);
}State Synchronization
import { useAgent } from "agents/react";
import { useState } from "react";
function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
const agent = useAgent({
agent: "counter-agent",
name: "my-counter",
onStateUpdate: (newState) => {
setCount(newState.counter);
}
});
const increment = () => {
agent.setState({ counter: count + 1 });
};
return (
<div>
<p>Count: {count}</p>
<button onClick={increment}>Increment</button>
</div>
);
}useAgentChat Hook
import { useAgentChat } from "agents/ai-react";
function ChatInterface() {
const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit, isLoading } = useAgentChat({
agent: "ai-chat-agent",
name: "chat-session-123"
});
return (
<div>
<div>

Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Build MCP servers using the Agents SDK.
MCP Server Setup
npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk agentsBasic MCP Server
import { McpAgent } from "agents/mcp";
import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
import { z } from "zod";
export class MyMCP extends McpAgent {
server = new McpServer({ name: "Demo", version: "1.0.0" });
async init() {
// Define a tool
this.server.tool(
"add",
"Add two numbers together",
{
a: z.number().describe("First number"),
b: z.number().describe("Second number")
},
async ({ a, b }) => ({
content: [{ type: "text", text: String(a + b) }]
})
);
}
}Stateful MCP Server
type State = { counter: number };
export class StatefulMCP extends McpAgent<Env, State> {
server = new McpServer({ name: "Counter", version: "1.0.0" });
initialState: State = { counter: 0 };
async init() {
// Resource
this.server.resource(
"counter",
"mcp://resource/counter",
(uri) => ({
contents: [{ uri: uri.href, text: String(this.state.counter) }]
})
);
// Tool
this.server.tool(
"increment",
"Increment the counter",
{ amount: z.number() },
async ({ amount }) => {
this.setState({
...this.state,
counter: this.state.counter + amount
});
return {
content: [{
type: "text",
text: `Counter is now ${this.state.counter}`
}]
};
}
);
}
}MCP Transport Configuration
import { Hono } from 'hono';
const app = new Hono();
// Modern streamable HTTP transport (recommended)
app.mount('/mcp', MyMCP.serve('/mcp').fetch, { replaceRequest: false });
// Legacy SSE transport (deprecated)
app.mount('/sse', MyMCP.serveSSE('/sse').fetch, { replaceRequest: false });
export default app;Transport Comparison:
- /mcp: Streamable HTTP (modern, recommended)
- /sse: Server-Sent Events (legacy, deprecated)
MCP with OAuth
import { OAuthProvider } from '@cloudflare/workers-oauth-provider';
export default new OAuthProvider({
apiHandlers: {
'/sse': MyMCP.serveSSE('/sse'),
'/mcp': MyMCP.serve('/mcp')
},
// OAuth configuration
clientId: 'your-client-id',
clientSecret: 'your-client-secret',

Patterns & Concepts
Chat Agents (AIChatAgent)
import { AIChatAgent } from "agents/ai-chat-agent";
import { streamText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
export class MyChatAgent extends AIChatAgent<Env> {
async onChatMessage(onFinish) {
const result = streamText({
model: openai('gpt-4o-mini'),
messages: this.messages,
onFinish
});
return result.toTextStreamResponse();
}
// Optional: Customize message persistence
async onStateUpdate(state, source) {
console.log('Chat state updated:', this.messages.length, 'messages');
}
}Human-in-the-Loop (HITL)
export class ApprovalAgent extends Agent {
async processRequest(data: any) {
// Process automatically
const processed = await this.autoProcess(data);
// If confidence low, request human review
if (processed.confidence < 0.8) {
this.setState({
...this.state,
pendingReview: {
data: processed,
requestedAt: Date.now(),
status: 'pending'
}
});
// Send notification to human
await this.notifyHuman(processed);
return { status: 'pending_review', id: processed.id };
}
// High confidence, proceed automatically
return this.complete(processed);
}
async approveReview(id: string, approved: boolean) {
const pending = this.state.pendingReview;
if (approved) {
await this.complete(pending.data);
} else {
await this.reject(pending.data);
}
this.setState({
...this.state,
pendingReview: null
});
}
}Tools Concept
Tools enable agents to interact with external services:
export class ToolAgent extends Agent {
// Tool: Search flights
async searchFlights(from: string, to: string, date: string) {
const response = await fetch(`https://api.flights.com/search`, {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({ from, to, date })
});
return response.json();
}
// Tool: Book flight
async bookFlight(flightId: string, passengers: any[]) {
const response = await fetch(`https://api.flights.com/book`, {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({ flightId, passengers })
});
return response.json();
}
// Tool: Send confirmation email
async sendEmail(to: string, subject: string, body: string) {
// Use email service
return { sent: true };
}
// Orchestrate tools
async bookTrip(params: any) {
const flights = await this.searchFlights(params.from, params.to, params.date);
const booking = await this.bookFlight(flights[0].id, params.passengers);
await this.sendEmail(params.email, "Booking Confirmed", `Booking ID: ${booking.id}`);
return booking;
}
}Multi-Agent Orchestration
interface Env {
ResearchAgent: AgentNamespace<ResearchAgent>;
WriterAgent: AgentNamespace<WriterAgent>;
EditorAgent: AgentNamespace<EditorAgent>;
}
export class OrchestratorAgent extends Agent<Env> {
async createArticle(topic: string) {
// 1. Research agent gathers information
const researcher = getAgentByName<Env, ResearchAgent>(
this.env.ResearchAgent,
`research-${topic}`
);
const research = await (await researcher).research(topic);
// 2. Writer agent creates draft
const writer = getAgentByName<Env, WriterAgent>(
this.env.WriterAgent,
`writer-${topic}`
);
const draft = await (await writer).write(research);
// 3. Editor agent reviews
const editor = getAgentByName<Env, EditorAgent>(
this.env.EditorAgent,
`editor-${topic}`
);
const final = await (await editor).edit(draft);
return final;
}
}---
Critical Rules
Always Do ✅
1. Export Agent class - Must be exported for binding to work 2. Include new_sqlite_classes in v1 migration - Cannot add SQLite later 3. Match binding name to class name - Prevents "binding not found" errors 4. Authenticate in Worker, not Agent - Security best practice 5. Use tagged template literals for SQL - Prevents SQL injection 6. Handle WebSocket disconnections - State persists, connections don't 7. Verify scheduled task callback exists - Throws error if method missing 8. Use global unique instance names - Same name = same agent globally 9. Check state size limits - Max 1GB total per agent 10. Monitor task payload size - Max 2MB per scheduled task 11. Use workflow bindings correctly - Must be configured in wrangler.jsonc 12. Create Vectorize indexes before inserting - Required for metadata filtering 13. Close browser instances - Prevent resource leaks 14. Use setState() for persistence - Don't just modify this.state 15. Test migrations locally first - Migrations are atomic, can't rollback
Never Do ❌
1. Don't add SQLite to existing deployed class - Must be in first migration 2. Don't gradually deploy migrations - Atomic only 3. Don't skip authentication in Worker - Always auth before agent access 4. Don't construct SQL strings manually - Use tagged templates 5. Don't exceed 1GB state per agent - Hard limit 6. Don't schedule tasks with non-existent callbacks - Runtime error 7. Don't assume same name = different agent - Global uniqueness 8. Don't use SSE for MCP - Deprecated, use /mcp transport 9. Don't forget browser binding - Required for web browsing 10. Don't modify this.state directly - Use setState() instead
---
Known Issues Prevention
This skill prevents 15+ documented issues:
Issue 1: Migrations Not Atomic
Error: "Cannot gradually deploy migration" Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/reference/durable-objects-migrations/ Why: Migrations apply to all instances simultaneously Prevention: Deploy migrations independently of code changes, use npx wrangler versions deploy
Issue 2: Missing new_sqlite_classes
Error: "Cannot enable SQLite on existing class" Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/configuration/ Why: SQLite must be enabled in first migration Prevention: Include new_sqlite_classes in tag "v1" migration
Issue 3: Agent Class Not Exported
Error: "Binding not found" or "Cannot access undefined" Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/agents-api/ Why: Durable Objects require exported class Prevention: export class MyAgent extends Agent (with export keyword)
Issue 4: Binding Name Mismatch
Error: "Binding 'X' not found" Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/configuration/ Why: Binding name must match class name exactly Prevention: Ensure name and class_name are identical in wrangler.jsonc
Issue 5: Global Uniqueness Not Understood
Error: Unexpected behavior with agent instances Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/agents-api/ Why: Same name always returns same agent instance globally Prevention: Use unique identifiers (userId, sessionId) for instance names
Issue 6: WebSocket State Not Persisted
Error: Connection state lost after disconnect Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/websockets/ Why: WebSocket connections don't persist, but agent state does Prevention: Store important data in agent state via setState(), not connection state
Issue 7: Scheduled Task Callback Doesn't Exist
Error: "Method X does not exist on Agent" Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/schedule-tasks/ Why: this.schedule() calls method that isn't defined Prevention: Ensure callback method exists before scheduling
Issue 8: State Size Limit Exceeded
Error: "Maximum database size exceeded" Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/store-and-sync-state/ Why: Agent state + scheduled tasks exceed 1GB Prevention: Monitor state size, use external storage (D1, R2) for large data
Issue 9: Scheduled Task Too Large
Error: "Task payload exceeds 2MB" Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/schedule-tasks/ Why: Each task maps to database row with 2MB limit Prevention: Keep task payloads minimal, store large data in agent state/SQL
Issue 10: Workflow Binding Missing
Error: "Cannot read property 'create' of undefined" Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/run-workflows/ Why: Workflow binding not configured in wrangler.jsonc Prevention: Add workflow binding before using this.env.WORKFLOW
Issue 11: Browser Binding Required
Error: "BROWSER binding undefined" Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/browse-the-web/ Why: Browser Rendering requires explicit binding Prevention: Add "browser": { "binding": "BROWSER" } to wrangler.jsonc
Issue 12: Vectorize Index Not Found
Error: "Index does not exist" Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/rag/ Why: Vectorize index must be created before use Prevention: Run wrangler vectorize create before deploying agent
Issue 13: MCP Transport Confusion
Error: "SSE transport deprecated" Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/model-context-protocol/transport/ Why: SSE transport is legacy, streamable HTTP is recommended Prevention: Use /mcp endpoint with MyMCP.serve('/mcp'), not /sse
Issue 14: Authentication Bypass
Error: Security vulnerability Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/calling-agents/ Why: Authentication done in Agent instead of Worker Prevention: Always authenticate in Worker before calling getAgentByName()
Issue 15: Instance Naming Errors
Error: Cross-user data leakage Source: https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/api-reference/calling-agents/ Why: Poor instance naming allows access to wrong agent Prevention: Use namespaced names like user-${userId}, validate ownership

What This Skill Does
This skill provides comprehensive knowledge for the Cloudflare Agents SDK - a framework for building AI-powered autonomous agents on Cloudflare Workers + Durable Objects.
Agents can:
- ✅ Communicate in real-time via WebSockets and Server-Sent Events
- ✅ Persist state with built-in SQLite database (up to 1GB per agent)
- ✅ Schedule tasks using delays, specific dates, or cron expressions
- ✅ Run asynchronous Cloudflare Workflows
- ✅ Browse the web using Browser Rendering API + Puppeteer
- ✅ Implement RAG with Vectorize + Workers AI embeddings
- ✅ Build MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers
- ✅ Support human-in-the-loop patterns
- ✅ Scale to millions of independent agent instances globally
Each agent instance is a globally unique, stateful micro-server that can run for seconds, minutes, or hours.
