Cloudflare is introducing a technical preview of a new unified CLI called `cf` (the next version of Wrangler), designed to cover all ~3,000 Cloudflare API operations with consistent command naming and output optimized for both humans and AI agents. The CLI is generated from a new TypeScript schema system that enforces naming conventions across commands, SDKs, and configuration. Alongside this, Cloudflare is releasing Local Explorer in open beta — a built-in UI accessible via Wrangler or the Vite plugin that lets developers inspect and manage local simulated resources (KV, R2, D1, Durable Objects, Workflows) without reverse-engineering the `.wrangler/state` directory. Local Explorer also exposes an OpenAPI-compatible local API at `/cdn-cgi/explorer/api`, enabling AI agents to manage local resources directly. The technical preview can be tried with `npx cf`.
