## Which one, for what

### Kontent.ai (BB)

Good for: A company already on Kontent.ai, or evaluating it on a trial, that wants an agent to draft, localise, move through workflow and publish structured content with a permission-limited key and an audit trail.

Ahead on:
- Security & auth, 81 against 74

Also in its favour:
- Agent-ready, a grade of BB or better
- Runs on your own machine
- Free to start without a card
- No incidents deducted, where Webflow loses 3 points for them

Watch for: No price is published. The pricing page shows sliders for seats, content types and items and a form that requests a quote

### Webflow (B)

Good for: Teams whose website already runs on Webflow and who want an agent to draft, update and publish CMS items, fix metadata or manage assets.

Ahead on:
- Schema & documentation, 87 against 74
- Payments & pricing, 30 against 20
- Transparency & trust, 81 against 75

Watch for: The MCP server documents 34 tools (27 data, 3 Designer session, 4 utility), each with several actions, and a granted tool grants all its actions

## Verdicts

**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.

## Before you call either

### 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`
