Implementation Reference
- src/tools/cms.ts:351-362 (handler)The handler function that performs the actual work of creating a collection item by calling the Webflow API's createItem method.
async ({ collection_id, request }) => { try { const response = await getClient().collections.items.createItem( collection_id, request, requestOptions ); return formatResponse(response); } catch (error) { return formatErrorResponse(error); } } - src/tools/cms.ts:341-363 (registration)The server.registerTool call that registers the tool with its name, input schema, and handler function.
server.registerTool( "collections_items_create_item", { title: "Create Collection Item", description: "Create new items in a CMS collection as drafts.", inputSchema: z.object({ collection_id: z.string(), request: WebflowCollectionsItemsCreateItemRequestSchema, }), }, async ({ collection_id, request }) => { try { const response = await getClient().collections.items.createItem( collection_id, request, requestOptions ); return formatResponse(response); } catch (error) { return formatErrorResponse(error); } } ); - Zod schema for the request payload used in the tool's inputSchema, defining the structure of items to create.
export const WebflowCollectionsItemsCreateItemRequestSchema = z.object({ items: z.array(CollectionItemPostSingleSchema).optional(), }); - src/mcp.ts:49-49 (registration)Top-level call to registerCmsTools, which includes the registration of the collections_items_create_item tool among others.
registerCmsTools(server, getClient); - Related schema for the live version of the create item tool (collections_items_create_item_live). Note: Not the primary tool but closely related.
