Manage Webflow Sites with Claude

Webflow 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.

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
