About

Webflow ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 14 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Webflow is a visual website builder with a built-in CMS and e-commerce store, and this app manages the content and commerce behind a site: listing and reading sites and their CMS collections, and creating, updating, listing, and deleting the items inside them. It is built for workflows that keep site content in sync with another system — publishing a blog post created elsewhere, or updating a CMS record when something changes upstream.

Item changes can either stay staged until a deliberate publish step, or write straight to the live site immediately, matching the two ways Webflow itself lets an editor work. E-commerce orders and products round it out: orders can be listed, read, and updated — useful for syncing fulfillment status — and products can be listed for workflows that need to reference what a store sells without editing it directly.

Build with Webflow

Three routes to the same 14 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Webflow's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Create Collection Item

create-item

Create an item in a CMS collection, optionally publishing it live.

Delete Collection Item

delete-item

Delete an item from a CMS collection.

Get Collection

get-collection

Fetch a CMS collection, including its field schema.

Get Collection Item

get-item

Fetch a single item from a CMS collection.

Get Order

get-order

Fetch a single order from an e-commerce site.

Get Site

get-site

Fetch a single Webflow site by its ID.

List Collections

list-collections

List all CMS collections belonging to a site.

List Collection Items

list-items

List items in a CMS collection (one page; max 100 per request).

List Orders

list-orders

List orders for an e-commerce site, optionally filtered by status.

List Products

list-products

List products (and their SKUs) for an e-commerce site.

List Sites

list-sites

List all Webflow sites accessible with this connection.

Publish Collection Items

publish-items

Publish staged CMS items to the live site.

Update Collection Item

update-item

Update fields on a CMS item, optionally publishing the change live.

Update Order

update-order

Update an order's comment and shipping details.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Webflow's real ids.

+9 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Webflow, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Webflow. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "create-item",
  payload: {
    collectionId: "<value>",
    fieldData: "<value>",
    // isDraft: "<value>",
    // isArchived: "<value>",
    // cmsLocaleId: "<value>",
    // live: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action create-item --payload '{"collectionId":"<value>","fieldData":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Webflow — without giving it Webflow's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.webflow#create-item",
    "input": {
      "collectionId": "<collectionId>",
      "fieldData": "<fieldData>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Webflow connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Webflow's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Webflow itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Webflow declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
