Documentation

Webflow MCP Server

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (v16 or higher)
  • Claude Desktop App
  • Webflow Account
  • Webflow API Token (Site token or OAuth Access Token)

Setup Instructions# 1. Create a Webflow API Token

  • Log in to your Webflow account
  • Navigate to Site Settings > Apps & Integrations
  • Generate a new API token
  • Copy the token value (you won't be able to see it again)

Alternatively, you can also generate an OAuth Access Token.

2. Initial Project Setup

Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Configure Environment Variables

Create a .env file for local development (don't commit this file):

WEBFLOW_API_TOKEN=your-api-token

4. Configure Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop configuration file: For MacOS:

code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

For Windows:

code %AppData%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add or update the configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webflow": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [ "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/YOUR/build/index.js" ],
      "env": {
        "WEBFLOW_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.

Installing via Smithery

To install Webflow MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @kapilduraphe/webflow-mcp-server --client claude

  • Preview URL
  • Time Zone settings
  • Custom Domains configuration
  • Localization settings (primary and secondary locales)
  • Data collection preferences

get_site

Retrieves detailed information about a specific Webflow site by ID. Requires a siteId parameter and returns the same detailed information as get_sites for a single site.

Error Handling

The server handles various error scenarios:

Environment Errors

  • Missing WEBFLOW_API_TOKEN
  • Invalid API token

Troubleshooting# Common Issues\n\n#### Tools not appearing in Claude

  • Check Claude Desktop logs
  • Verify WEBFLOW_API_TOKEN is set correctly
  • Ensure the path to index.js is absolute and correct

Authentication Errors

  • Verify your API token is valid
  • Check if the token has the necessary permissions
  • Ensure the token hasn't expired

Viewing Logs

To view server logs: For MacOS/Linux:

tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log

For Windows:

Get-Content -Path "$env:AppData\Claude\Logs\mcp*.log" -Wait -Tail 20

Environment Variables

If you're getting environment variable errors, verify:

  • WEBFLOW_API_TOKEN: Should be a valid API token

Security Considerations

  • Keep your API token secure
  • Don't commit credentials to version control
  • Use environment variables for sensitive data
  • Regularly rotate API tokens
  • Monitor API usage in Webflow
  • Use minimum required permissions for API token

Support

If you encounter any issues:

  • Check the troubleshooting section above
  • Review Claude Desktop logs
  • Examine the server's error output
  • Check Webflow's API documentation
