Migration from SSE to HTTP for improved stability

The Webflow MCP server has migrated from Server-Sent Events (SSE) to HTTP for improved connection stability and reliability. This change reduces timeout issues and provides a more robust connection between your AI client and Webflow’s APIs.

What’s changing

  • Previous endpoint: https://mcp.webflow.com/sse
  • New endpoint: https://mcp.webflow.com/mcp
  • Protocol: SSE → HTTP

What you need to do

Update your MCP server configuration to use the new HTTP endpoint. Instructions vary by AI client:

Update your claude_desktop_config.json file:

Old configuration:

1{
2 "mcpServers": {
3 "webflow": {
4 "command": "npx",
5 "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.webflow.com/sse"]
6 }
7 }
8}

New configuration:

1{
2 "mcpServers": {
3 "webflow": {
4 "command": "npx",
5 "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.webflow.com/mcp"]
6 }
7 }
8}

After updating, restart Claude Desktop (command/ctrl + R).

Benefits

This migration provides several improvements:

  • Better stability: HTTP connections are more reliable and less prone to timeouts
  • Improved error handling: Clearer error messages when connection issues occur
  • Reduced disconnections: Fewer interruptions when working with the Designer companion app
  • Broader compatibility: Works more consistently across different network configurations

If you experience any issues after migrating, try refreshing your OAuth token by running rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth and reauthorizing your sites.
