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

Choose clear, URL-friendly page names:

  • about-us, contact, product-details
  • page1, new-page, untitled

Good names improve organization and SEO.

Create folder structure before adding many pages:

/Marketing
- Homepage
- About Us
- Contact
/Products
- Product Overview
- Product Catalog
/Legal
- Privacy Policy
- Terms of Service

Early organization prevents future cleanup.

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.

Use get_current_page before making changes to ensure you’re editing the correct page. This prevents accidental modifications.

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:

  1. You create a page
  2. Designer switches to it automatically
  3. Any subsequent element/style operations affect the new page
  4. Use switch_page to 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
