Webflow MCP Server

Webflow's Official MCP Server

A Node.js server implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Webflow using the Webflow JavaScript SDK. Enable AI agents to interact with Webflow APIs. Learn more about Webflow's Data API in the developer documentation.

 

ℹ Prerequisites

• Node.js
• NPM
• A Webflow Account

▶️ Quick start (hosted on Cloudflare workers)

For Cursor:

1. Go to Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP
2. Click + Add New Global MCP Server
3. Paste the following configuration (or add the webflow part to your existing configuration)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webflow": {
      "command": "npx mcp-remote https://mcp.webflow.com/sse"
    }
  }
}

1. Save, Cursor will automatically open a new browser window showing an OAuth login page to authorize the Webflow sites you want the MCP server to have access to.

For Claude Desktop:

1. Open Settings → Developer
2. Click Edit Config
3. Open claude_desktop_config.json in a code editor and paste the following configuration (or add the webflow part to your existing configuration)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.webflow.com/sse"]
    }
  }
}

1. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop (command/ctrl + R). When Claude restarts, it will automatically open a new browser window showing an OAuth login page to authorize the Webflow sites you want the MCP server to have access to.

For Windsurf:

1. Navigate to Windsurf - Settings → Advanced Settings
2. Scroll down to the Cascade section → Add Server → Add custom server +
3. Paste the following configuration (or add the webflow part to your existing configuration)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.webflow.com/sse"]
    }
  }
}

1. Click Save, Windsurf will automatically open a new browser window showing an OAuth login page to authorize the Webflow sites you want the MCP server to have access to.

For VS Code:

1. Open settings.json
2. Paste the following configuration (or add the webflow part to your existing configuration)

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "webflow": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.webflow.com/sse"]
      }
    }
  }
}

1. Save the file. You should see a start button appear over the "webflow" key which you can click to open and run the auth flow. Alternatively, restart VS Code and the auth flow should start automatically.

Important note

All these methods rely on the mcp-remote npm package which is still considered experimental as of 04/30/2025. If at any point you have issues, and want to reset your OAuth tokens, you can run the following command before restarting your MCP client:

rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth

▶️ Quick start (local installation)

1. Get your Webflow API token

• Go to Webflow's API Playground
• Log in and generate a token
• Copy the token from the Request Generator

!Get API Token

1. Add to your AI editor

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "webflow-mcp-server@0.6.0"],
      "env": {
        "WEBFLOW_TOKEN": "<YOUR_WEBFLOW_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Cursor:

1. Go to Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP
2. Click + Add New Global MCP Server
3. Paste configuration
4. Replace YOUR_WEBFLOW_TOKEN with the token you copied earlier
5. Save and restart Cursor

For Claude Desktop:

1. Open Settings → Developer
2. Click Edit Config
3. Open claude_desktop_config.json in a code editor and paste configuration
4. Replace YOUR_WEBFLOW_TOKEN with the token you copied earlier 5. Save and restart Claude

❓ Troubleshooting

If you are having issues starting the server in your MCP client e.g. Cursor or Claude Desktop, please try the following.

Ensure you have a valid Webflow API token

1. Go to Webflow's API Playground, 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

Ensure you have the Node and NPM installed

• Node.js
• NPM

Run the following commands to confirm you have Node and NPM installed:

node -v
npm -v

Clear your NPM cache

Sometimes clearing your NPM cache can resolve issues with npx.

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 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.

🗣️ Prompts & Resources

This implementation does not include prompts or resources from the MCP specification. However, this may change in the future when there is broader support across popular MCP clients.

🚧 Development mode

If you want to run the server in development mode, you can install dependencies and run the server using the following command:

1. Clone and install:

git clone git@github.com:webflow/mcp-server.git
cd mcp-server
npm install

1. Add your token to a .env file at the root of the project:

# .env
WEBFLOW_TOKEN=<YOUR_WEBFLOW_TOKEN>

1. Start development server:

npm start

⚠️ 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 are not supported and will result in errors.
