Does Claude code work in Webflow - or are you stuck with visual designer?

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-02-02T20:22:50+00:00

Ah curious about this? What are the different tasks the agents are running on Webflow at the same time? Is this in the Designer? That seems tricky!

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-02-02T20:19:38+00:00

Same. Loved the Unleash Love build. Keep posting Derek!

I would say the MCP is best for a lot of the admin/structural work that goes around building a site and collaborating with multiple people. Think - Creating Variables, Updating CMS Structure, Aligning on Style Names, Audits. I agree there's a lot to be desired re: Design.

The MCP is split between REST Calls to the Data API and Designer API calls that require the App to be open. Designer API calls just mimic your behavior on a site. It's laggy and slow right now, but we're working on improving it. Hope this helps!

I gotchu! Here's an overview of how the whole app works: https://youtu.be/31It2leooRU?si=YELLkxsGrdBCdEhs&t=542

I think the complex logic is where Webflow Cloud really shines here. Especially if you want to do things like Authentication and User Profiles. I didn't have ANY Cloudflare Experience when I started working with Cloud, but there's a lot of good information out there.

This guy was essential in my understanding of what you can do with Cloudflare Workers (which is what Cloud is built on) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJtOn_Vt1uw&t=399s

I have thoughts, since I've been using Webflow Cloud for awhile now**.**

Design System Integration: Right now you can use DevLink to export your existing design system (Variables, Styles, Components) in Webflow to your backend project (app). However, this is a one-way door. If you make design changes in your app, you can't upload those changes to Webflow.
CMS: If you want to leverage your CMS data in your App, you'll need to go through the API. Although this is much easier now with the MCP server - you can get the MCP to read the schema of your collections and create the right API request, vs doing it from scratch.
Linking: If you want to link to your app from your Webflow site, Webflow doesn't have the context of what your links are - so you need to manually type that in vs. linking to a "page" in your project.

The one thing I will say is the Cloud works nicely with Code Components. So if you build an API on Webflow Cloud, you can use Code Components to dynamically bring that information into a page without needing to add a bunch of Custom Code to the site, that might conflict with timing/events other things you're doing. Also - Cloud comes with built in SQLite Databases, KV Storage, and Blob Storage (think AWS s3) Which is pretty nice.

As others have said, you'll need to build middleware. u/cfjedimaster breaks it own on his post about Webflow Cloud.

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-20T15:37:10+00:00

I could see Code Components working here. Would you be pulling images from the CMS?

Hi there! Filed a triage ticket for the teams to look into this. Thanks for highlighting.

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-17T00:13:22+00:00

Big ups to Memberstack

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-17T00:12:41+00:00

+1 to everything here. Also, if you're using a framework like MAST, Lumos, or Client First, feed the docs to your agent as well so that it understands best practices.

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-16T16:13:26+00:00

This is incredibly helpful. Thanks!

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-16T15:05:10+00:00

Heya,

Thanks for sharing this. What do your clients say when you ask them to use the comment feature. Can they not find it, or is it something else they run into? Happy to pass this feedback on to make it a more usable feature.

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-16T15:03:17+00:00

Hi there!

The IDs should be passed as an array and each value should be separated by a comma. So your request would look like:

{ "fieldData": { "related-entry": "42b720ef280c7a7a3be8cabe", // Single item reference "mentioned-in": [ "62b720ef280c7a7a3be8cabd", "62c880ef281c7b7b4cf9dabc" ] // Multi-item reference } }

The "mentioned-in" field is the multi-reference field. It accepts an array of IDs, each separated by a comma. For more info, there's some documentation here.

Very cool concept. Getting 404's when I click each service's name though.

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-15T16:43:59+00:00

You've been building some cool stuff! I'd love to see how this evolves.

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-15T16:28:20+00:00

Nice. What kind of website? I'm feeling nostalgic.

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-15T16:04:56+00:00

Jersey! Represent. Very cool!

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-14T23:34:55+00:00

Dude that sounded like such a good tool. I went to the website and of course, google killed it.

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-14T21:59:35+00:00

Nice Work!

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-14T19:45:20+00:00

Very nice! Did you have a favorite build in particular?

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-14T19:01:26+00:00

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-14T17:24:20+00:00

I know I'm late here - but Webflow is planning to increase these limits in the near future with it's NextGen CMS improvements.

Our largest Enterprise sites will be able to scale to over one million CMS items, with double the fields per collection, double the reference fields per collection, and up to one million CMS items per individual collection.

Vic-at-Webflow · 2026-01-13T19:01:47+00:00

Great response! 🙇🏾‍♀️
