Kontent.ai vs Webflow

Kontent.ai

Management API keys take per-area permissions, environment limits and an expiry from one minute to two years, and changes made with a key are named in the audit log. Rate limits and Retry-After are documented. No price is published, and no OpenAPI file was found. Access starts with a 30-day trial that a person opens in a browser.

Webflow

The Data API has a public OpenAPI 3.1 spec with 140 operations, scoped OAuth and site tokens, and CMS items that stay drafts until a separate publish call. The MCP server loads 34 multi-action tools and can't create new localised CMS items. The free plan holds 50 CMS items, and the activity log needs the $2,500 Team plan.

Kontent.ai

1. Send Authorization: Bearer <key> to https://manage.kontent.ai/v2/projects/{environment_id}/.... The Management API must be switched on under Environment settings, General, Enabled APIs first
2. Ask for a Management API key with only the permissions the task needs. Read content alone gives a read-only key, and keys expire after six months by default
3. Stay under 10 requests a second and 400 a minute per environment, send requests one at a time, and wait the seconds in Retry-After on a 429
4. Page lists by passing the continuation_token from the response back in the x-continuation header
5. Create items with an external_id and write with the upsert PUT at /items/external-id/{id} so a retry after a lost response does not create a duplicate
6. With the MCP server, call get-patch-guide before any patch tool, and use a client that prompts on destructiveHint

Webflow

1. Send the token as Authorization: Bearer to https://api.webflow.com/v2. Ask for cms:read and cms:write only, plus sites:write if the task publishes
2. Create or update items first, then call Publish Items or Publish Site. An item with isDraft true and a lastPublished date is live with unpublished changes
3. Stay under 60 requests a minute on Starter and Basic and 120 on Premium, read X-RateLimit-Remaining, and wait for Retry-After on 429
4. Page item lists with limit (maximum 100) and offset, and filter with filter[<fieldSlug>][<operator>], up to 10 terms
5. Upload an asset in two steps (create the asset with a file hash, then POST the bytes to the presigned URL). Write localised content with the item's cmsLocaleId
