CMS
The CMS tools provide comprehensive content management capabilities for Webflow’s Content Management System. Create and configure collections, define custom fields, and manage collection items with full CRUD operations.
Overview
Webflow’s CMS allows you to create structured content with custom fields, making it ideal for blogs, portfolios, product catalogs, and any content-driven website. The MCP server exposes these capabilities through three main tool categories:
Create and manage CMS collections. Define the structure and schema for your content types.
Add and configure fields within collections. Support for text, numbers, references, options, and more.
Create, update, publish, and delete collection items. Manage your actual content.
Best practices
Plan your collection structure
Before creating collections:
- Sketch out your content types
- Identify relationships between content
- Define required vs. optional fields
- Consider future scalability needs
Use meaningful field names
Choose clear, descriptive field names:
- ✅
productPrice,authorBio,featuredImage - ❌
field1,text2,misc
This makes your content structure self-documenting.
Use draft status effectively
Create items as drafts by default:
- Review content before publishing
- Make edits without affecting live site
- Schedule publishing for specific times
Batch operations carefully
When creating/updating many items:
- Test with a small batch first
- Verify data format and structure
- Consider rate limits
- Implement error handling
