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:
Claude Desktop
Cursor
Claude Code
Windsurf
Update your claude_desktop_config.json file:
Old configuration:
New configuration:
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.
