About this plugin
This plugin adds Cloudflare Workers AI as a provider for the WordPress AI Client. Unlike text-only connectors, it brings three capabilities to any AI-Client-powered feature, plugin, or theme — text generation, image generation, and image understanding (vision / alt text) — all running on Cloudflare’s global edge network.
Cloudflare Workers AI offers a free daily allocation (Neurons) on the free plan, and a single API token works across many hosted models — chat (Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Qwen, DeepSeek, and more), FLUX image generation, and multimodal vision.
What you get:
- Text generation with Cloudflare-hosted chat models (Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Qwen, DeepSeek, GPT-OSS, and more)
- Image generation with Cloudflare-hosted FLUX models (FLUX.1 [schnell] and FLUX.2 [dev] / [klein])
- AI alt text & image understanding — works out of the box with a non-gated multimodal model, so the WordPress alt-text feature just works (no per-account license step)
- JSON / structured output support (on models that support JSON mode)
- Function calling (tool) support (on models that support function calling)
- Reasoning (“thinking”) model support
- Auto-preferred: once your credentials are saved, AI features use Cloudflare automatically — no per-feature provider picking
- Automatic provider registration with the WordPress AI Client
- No setup screen to wrestle with — credentials go on the standard Connectors screen, and the model list is read live from your account
The model list is read live from Cloudflare’s model catalog, which is account-accurate, so only models your account can actually call are surfaced.
Requirements:
- PHP 7.4 or higher
- For WordPress 6.9, the wordpress/php-ai-client package must be installed
- For WordPress 7.0 and above, no additional changes are required
- A free Cloudflare account with Workers AI (an API token and your account ID)
This plugin is a provider add-on: on its own it does nothing visible. It only takes effect once the PHP AI Client is available and another plugin (or your code) makes an AI request using the cloudflare provider.
External services
This plugin connects to the Cloudflare Workers AI API to provide AI text and image generation. It is required for the plugin’s core functionality and only runs when you (or a plugin using the PHP AI Client) trigger an AI request.
- What it does: sends your prompt text, model selection, and generation parameters to Cloudflare’s Workers AI inference API and receives the generated text or image.
- When: only when an AI request is made via the PHP AI Client using the cloudflare provider. No data is sent on page load or in the background.
- Data sent: the prompt/messages you provide, the chosen model ID, generation parameters, and your Cloudflare API token (as an Authorization header) for authentication. The request URL includes your Cloudflare account ID.
