Pages
The Designer Pages tools enable you to create new pages, organize them into folders, and navigate between pages while working in the Designer.
Designer tools require the MCP Bridge App to be open in the Webflow Designer. Ensure it’s connected before using these tools.
When to use
Use Designer Pages tools to:
- Create new pages: Add static or dynamic pages to your site
- Organize pages: Create folder structures for better organization
- Navigate Designer: Switch between pages programmatically
- Check context: Verify which page you’re currently editing

Best practices
Use descriptive page names
Choose clear, URL-friendly page names:
- ✅
about-us,contact,product-details - ❌
page1,new-page,untitled
Good names improve organization and SEO.
Organize with folders early
Create folder structure before adding many pages:
Early organization prevents future cleanup.
Set SEO metadata during creation
Always provide meta titles and descriptions when creating pages:
- Title: 50-60 characters
- Description: 150-160 characters
- Include target keywords
- Make them compelling
Good SEO starts at page creation.
Verify context before editing
Use get_current_page before making changes to ensure you’re editing the correct page. This prevents accidental modifications.
Combine Data and Designer Page tools
For optimal workflow, use both tool types together:
- Designer Page tools: Create pages and navigate between them in real-time
- Data API Page tools: List all pages, update metadata, manage SEO settings, and handle localization
This combination gives you the best of both worlds: real-time Designer interaction and comprehensive metadata management.
Automatic page switching
Important behavior: When you create a page using create_page, the Designer automatically switches to the newly created page.
This means:
- You create a page
- Designer switches to it automatically
- Any subsequent element/style operations affect the new page
- Use
switch_pageto navigate to a different page if needed
Limitations
- Auto-switch: Page creation automatically switches Designer view
- Designer required: Must have Bridge App open and connected
- Page structure: Cannot modify existing page structure, only create new pages
- No deletion: Use Data API or Designer UI to delete pages
