Publish a site

Publish a site

Publishes a site's latest changes, or one page, to its Webflow subdomain or chosen custom domains.

Note: Puts every pending change live, so confirm with the user first. The API needs customDomains (custom domain IDs) or publishToWebflowSubdomain: true.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

{ "mcpServers": { "webflow": { "url": "https://mcp.webflow.com/mcp" } } }

Call the MCP tool data_sites_tool.

Server URL: https://mcp.webflow.com/mcp

CLI (official)

Install the command and sign in with it, then confirm it runs.

npm install -g @webflow/webflow-cli
webflow --version

Run webflow sites publish.

API (official)

• Base URL: https://api.webflow.com/v2
• Endpoint: POST /sites/{site_id}/publish
• Auth: send the header Authorization: Bearer $WEBFLOW_API_TOKEN
• Docs: https://developers.webflow.com/data/reference/rest-introduction

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

Rules

• Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
• Never print API keys.
