# Webflow's MCP server A Node.js server implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Webflow using the [Webflow JavaScript SDK](https://github.com/webflow/js-webflow-api). Enable AI agents to interact with Webflow APIs. Learn more about Webflow's Data API in the [developer documentation](https://developers.webflow.com/data/reference). [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/webflow-mcp-server)  ## Prerequisites - [Node.js](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm) - [NPM](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm) - [A Webflow Account](https://webflow.com/signup) ## 🚀 Remote installation Get started by installing Webflow's remote MCP server. The remote server uses OAuth to authenticate with your Webflow sites, and a companion app that syncs your live canvas with your AI agent. ### Requirements - Node.js 22.3.0 or higher > Note: The MCP server currently supports Node.js 22.3.0 or higher. If you run into version issues, see the [Node.js compatibility guidance.](https://developers.webflow.com/data/v2.0.0/docs/ai-tools#nodejs-compatibility) ### Cursor #### Add MCP server to Cursor 1. Go to `Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP & Integrations`. 2. Under MCP Tools, click `+ New MCP Server`. 3. Paste the following configuration into `.cursor/mcp.json` (or add the `webflow` part to your existing configuration): ```json { "mcpServers": { "webflow": { "url": "https://mcp.webflow.com/sse" } } } ``` > Tip: You can create a project-level `mcp.json` to avoid repeated auth prompts across multiple Cursor windows. See Cursor’s docs on [configuration locations.](https://docs.cursor.com/en/context/mcp#configuration-locations) 4. Save and close the file. Cursor will automatically open an OAuth login page where you can authorize Webflow sites to use with the MCP server. #### Open the Webflow Designer - Open your site in the Webflow Designer, or ask your AI agent: ```text Give me a link to open <MY_SITE_NAME> in the Webflow Designer ``` #### Open the MCP Webflow App 1. In the Designer, open the Apps panel (press `E`). 2. Launch your published "Webflow MCP Bridge App". 3. Wait for the app to connect to the MCP server. #### Write your first prompt Try these in your AI chat: ```text Analyze my last 5 blog posts and suggest 3 new topic ideas with SEO keywords ``` ```text Find older blog posts that mention similar topics and add internal links to my latest post ``` ```text Create a hero section card on my home page with a CTA button and responsive design ``` ### Claude desktop #### Add MCP server to Claude desktop 1. Enable developer mode: `Help → Troubleshooting → Enable Developer Mode`. 2. Open developer settings: `File → Settings → Developer`. 3. Click `Get Started` or edit the configuration to open `claude_desktop_config.json` and add: ```json { "mcpServers": { "webflow": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.webflow.com/sse"] } } } ``` 4. Save and restart Claude Desktop (`Cmd/Ctrl + R`). An OAuth login page will open to authorize sites. #### Open the Webflow Designer - Open your site in the Webflow Designer, or ask your AI agent: ```text Give me a link to open <MY_SITE_NAME> in the Webflow Designer ``` #### Open the MCP Webflow App 1. In the Designer, open the Apps panel (press `E`). 2. Launch your published "Webflow MCP Bridge App". 3. Wait for the app to connect to the MCP server. #### Write your first prompt ```text Analyze my last 5 blog posts and suggest 3 new topic ideas with SEO keywords ``` ```text Find older blog posts that mention similar topics and add internal links to my latest post ``` ```text Create a hero section card on my home page with a CTA button and responsive design ``` ### Reset your OAuth token To reset your OAuth token, run the following command in your terminal. ```bash rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth ``` ### Node.js compatibility Please see the Node.js [compatibility guidance on Webflow's developer docs.](https://developers.webflow.com/data/v2.0.0/docs/ai-tools#nodejs-compatibility) --- ## Local Installation You can also configure the MCP server to run locally. This requires: - Creating and registering your own MCP Bridge App in a Webflow workspace with Admin permissions - Configuring your AI client to start the local MCP server with a Webflow API token ### 1. Create and publish the MCP bridge app Before connecting the local MCP server to your AI client, you must create and publish the **Webflow MCP Bridge App** in your workspace. ### Steps 1. **Register a Webflow App** - Go to your Webflow Workspace and register a new app. - Follow the official guide: [Register an App](https://developers.webflow.com/data/v2.0.0/docs/register-an-app). 2. **Get the MCP Bridge App code** - Option A: Download the latest `bundle.zip` from the [releases page](https://github.com/virat21/webflow-mcp-bridge-app/releases). - Option B: Clone the repository and build it: ```bash git clone https://github.com/virat21/webflow-mcp-bridge-app cd webflow-mcp-bridge-app ``` - Then build the project following the repository instructions. 3. **Publish the Designer Extension** - Go to **Webflow Dashboard → Workspace settings → Apps & Integrations → Develop → Your App**. - Click **“Publish Extension Version”**. - Upload your built `bundle.zip` file. 4. **Open the App in Designer** - Once published, open the MCP Bridge App from the **Designer → Apps panel** in a site within your workspace. ### 2. Configure your AI client #### Cursor Add to `.cursor/mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "webflow": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "webflow-mcp-server@latest"], "env": { "WEBFLOW_TOKEN": "<YOUR_WEBFLOW_TOKEN>" } } } } ``` #### Claude desktop Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "webflow": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "webflow-mcp-server@latest"], "env": { "WEBFLOW_TOKEN": "<YOUR_WEBFLOW_TOKEN>" } } } } ``` ### 3. Use the MCP server with the Webflow Designer - Open your site in the Webflow Designer. - Open the Apps panel (press `E`) and launch your published “Webflow MCP Bridge App”. - Wait for the app to connect to the MCP server, then use tools from your AI client. - If the Bridge App prompts for a local connection URL, call the `get_designer_app_connection_info` tool from your AI client and paste the returned `http://localhost:<port>` URL. ### Optional: Run locally via shell ```bash WEBFLOW_TOKEN="<YOUR_WEBFLOW_TOKEN>" npx -y webflow-mcp-server@latest ``` ```powershell # PowerShell $env:WEBFLOW_TOKEN="<YOUR_WEBFLOW_TOKEN>" npx -y webflow-mcp-server@latest ``` ### Reset your OAuth Token To reset your OAuth token, run the following command in your terminal. ```bash rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth ``` ### Node.js compatibility Please see the Node.js [compatibility guidance on Webflow's developer docs.](https://developers.webflow.com/data/v2.0.0/docs/ai-tools#nodejs-compatibility) ## ❓ Troubleshooting If you are having issues starting the server in your MCP client e.g. Cursor or Claude Desktop, please try the following. ### Make sure you have a valid Webflow API token 1. Go to [Webflow's API Playground](https://developers.webflow.com/data/reference/token/authorized-by), log in and generate a token, then copy the token from the Request Generator 2. Replace `YOUR_WEBFLOW_TOKEN` in your MCP client configuration with the token you copied 3. Save and **restart** your MCP client ### Make sure you have the Node and NPM installed - [Node.js](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm) - [NPM](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm) Run the following commands to confirm you have Node and NPM installed: ```shell node -v npm -v ``` ### Clear your NPM cache Sometimes clearing your [NPM cache](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-cache) can resolve issues with `npx`. ```shell npm cache clean --force ``` ### Fix NPM global package permissions If `npm -v` doesn't work for you but `sudo npm -v` does, you may need to fix NPM global package permissions. See the official [NPM docs](https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally) for more information. Note: if you are making changes to your shell configuration, you may need to restart your shell for changes to take effect. ## 🛠️ Available tools See the `./tools` directory for a list of available tools # 🗣️ Prompts & resources This implementation **doesn't** include `prompts` or `resources` from the MCP specification. However, this may change in the future when there is broader support across popular MCP clients. ## 📄 Webflow developer resources - [Webflow API Documentation](https://developers.webflow.com/data/reference) - [Webflow JavaScript SDK](https://github.com/webflow/js-webflow-api) ## ⚠️ Known limitations ### Static page content updates The `pages_update_static_content` endpoint currently only supports updates to localized static pages in secondary locales. Updates to static content in the default locale aren't supported and will result in errors.
