About Webflow MCP Server
Webflow MCP Server is an MCP server that lets Claude access Webflow APIs. It is intended for users who want to query Webflow site information from Claude Desktop and requires an API token.
Key features
- 01Lists all sites accessible to the authenticated user
- 02Retrieves detailed information for a single site by ID
- 03Returns domain, time zone and localization settings
- 04Reads the API token from an environment variable
Use cases
- 01Checking publish dates and preview URLs of Webflow sites from Claude
- 02Reviewing custom domain and multilingual settings for a site
MCP support
This project is an MCP server that exposes Webflow site information tools (get_sites, get_site) to MCP clients such as Claude Desktop.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEWebflow MCP Server
This MCP server enables Claude to interact with Webflow's APIs.
Prerequisites
- Node.js (v16 or higher)
- Claude Desktop App
- Webflow Account
- Webflow API Token (Site token or OAuth Acces 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
Available Tools
The server currently provides the following tools:
get_sites
Retrieves a list of all Webflow sites accessible to the authenticated user. Returns detailed information including:
- Site Display Name and Short Name
- Site ID and Workspace ID
- Creation, Last Updated, and Last Published Dates
- 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.

Environment Errors
- Missing WEBFLOW_API_TOKEN
- Invalid API token
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
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

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
