Webflow

Design

Build and manage Webflow sites and CMS content

Webflow is a visual web design and CMS platform. Use Data API tools for sites, pages, CMS, components, scripts, webhooks, comments, and enterprise settings; use Designer tools for variables, styles, pages, elements, components, assets, and HTML insertion.

Add Webflow to your zone and connect it to your MCP client.

  1. In your zone’s Keycard Console, go to Applications -> Add Application -> Explore MCP Servers.

  2. Search for Webflow and click Install.

  3. A browser tab opens to Webflow’s OAuth consent screen. Sign in and approve the requested permissions.

  4. You’re redirected back. Webflow appears on the Applications page with a Keycard MCP Gateway URL.

On the Applications page, click Add to Coding Agent next to Webflow and pick how you want to install:

  • Cursor - opens a deeplink that hands the MCP config straight to Cursor. Click Install inside Cursor to finish.
  • Claude Code - opens a dialog with a claude mcp add command. Pick a scope (User, Project, or Local), then copy and run the command in your terminal.
  • Install manually - reveals the Server Name and Server URL to paste into any other MCP-compatible client.

Once connected, Webflow’s tools are available to the agent, scoped to whoever signs in to your zone.

What Webflow can do once installed.

What to do once Webflow is installed.

Now do this

  • Confirm the gateway works by asking your AI client to call one of the Webflow tools above.

Recommended

  • Decide who can use it - write access policies scoped to the Webflow resource so only the right users and agents reach the tools.
  • Watch the calls - every tool call lands in your audit log with user identity, resource, and policy decision.
