Cloudflare Announces 'Cloudflare Environments for Claude Managed Agents'

(May 19, 2026, 6:00 AM Pacific Time)

Cloudflare, the leading connectivity cloud company that makes it easy for anyone to connect, today announced its partnership with Anthropic to launch "Cloudflare Environments for Claude Managed Agents." This integration allows developers to run core agent loops on the Claude platform while leveraging Cloudflare's global network and "Workers" developer platform to execute code, secure private connections, and provide specialized tools to agents. By providing a secure, highly scalable environment, Cloudflare empowers developers to build next-generation AI assistants quickly, securely, and on a global scale.

For AI agents to be truly useful in the workplace, they need to be more than just intelligent; they must be secure and scalable. "Cloudflare Environments for Claude Managed Agents" solves this challenge by providing the essential foundation for agents to operate safely within organizations. The Workers-based control plane spins up secure sandboxes for each agent session, applying security and compliance measures by default. This ensures strict security protocols are maintained while allowing AI projects to scale from a single prototype to millions of users without infrastructure bottlenecks.

"The true potential of AI agents will only be realized when they can interact safely and at scale with the real world," said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. "Our partnership with Anthropic allows developers to execute code with the speed and scale of Cloudflare's global network and securely access private data. This enables businesses and organizations to focus on developing the world's most innovative AI applications."

"Cloudflare Environments for Claude Managed Agents" enables developers to achieve the following:

Global Deployment Across Diverse Runtimes

Cloudflare Workers offers a choice between full Linux-based microVMs suited for complex tasks and lightweight V8 Isolate-based sandboxes providing millisecond startup times. This enables agents to quickly handle large workloads while keeping resource costs down, making agent workloads viable even for large consumer internet companies.

Confidential Data Protection Through Zero Trust Connections

Agents are protected by advanced egress controls and Cloudflare Mesh. They can connect to internal private services using post-quantum cryptography encryption, isolating and protecting sensitive data from the public internet.

Auditing Agent Operations with Native Observability

Cloudflare equips agents by default with built-in tools providing audit trails and session recordings, ensuring agent operations remain secure and compliant.

Expanding Agent Capabilities with Customizable Frameworks

Extend agent capabilities by writing simple functions directly on Cloudflare's developer platform. This allows agents to create and run custom tools on the fly within a secure, high-performance environment.

A Partnership for Secure AI Infrastructure

The launch of "Cloudflare Environments for Claude Managed Agents" marks the latest milestone in the ongoing partnership between the two companies to solve the last mile of AI connectivity.
