Implementation Reference

src/tools/cms.ts:114-124 (handler)

The handler function that executes the tool logic by calling the Webflow API to create a static field in a collection.

async ({ collection_id, request }) => {
  try {
    const response = await getClient().collections.fields.create(
      collection_id,
      request,
      requestOptions
    );
    return formatResponse(response);
  } catch (error) {
    return formatErrorResponse(error);
  }

src/tools/cms.ts:102-126 (registration)

Registers the 'collection_fields_create_static' tool with the MCP server, defining its title, description, input schema, and handler.

  "collection_fields_create_static",
  {
    title: "Create Static Field",
    description:
      "Create a new static field in a CMS collection (e.g., text, number, date, etc.).",
    inputSchema: z.object({
      collection_id: z
        .string()
        .describe("Unique identifier for the Collection."),
      request: StaticFieldSchema,
    }),
  },
  async ({ collection_id, request }) => {
    try {
      const response = await getClient().collections.fields.create(
        collection_id,
        request,
        requestOptions
      );
      return formatResponse(response);
    } catch (error) {
      return formatErrorResponse(error);
    }
  }
);

src/schemas/StaticFieldSchema.ts:3-32 (schema)

Zod schema defining the input parameters for creating a static field (e.g., type, name, required status).

export const StaticFieldSchema = z.object({
  id: z.string().optional().describe("Unique identifier for the Field."),
  isEditable: z
    .boolean()
    .optional()
    .describe("Indicates if the field is editable."),
  isRequired: z
    .boolean()
    .optional()
    .describe("Indicates if the field is required."),
  type: z
    .union([
      z.literal("Color"),
      z.literal("DateTime"),
      z.literal("Email"),
      z.literal("File"),
      z.literal("Image"),
      z.literal("Link"),
      z.literal("MultiImage"),
      z.literal("Number"),
      z.literal("Phone"),
      z.literal("PlainText"),
      z.literal("RichText"),
      z.literal("Switch"),
      z.literal("Video"),
    ])
    .describe("Type of the field. Choose of these appropriate field types."),
  displayName: z.string().describe("Name of the field."),
  helpText: z.string().optional().describe("Help text for the field."),
});
