Adds documentation clarifying that Client IP Address Filtering on Cloudflare API tokens is incompatible with Cloudflare's MCP servers. Background:

  • Cloudflare MCP servers run as Workers
  • API requests originate from Worker subrequest IPs, not user eyeball IPs
  • IP allowlists cause MCP authentication to fail
  • Worker IPs are not stable/guaranteed, so allowlisting them is not recommended This update helps users avoid authentication issues when creating API tokens for MCP usage. Related internal issue: CUSTESC-63123
