Which one, for what

Prismic C

Good for Teams already on Prismic who want an agent to bulk-edit, localise or migrate pages into releases for human review.

Ahead on

  • Payments & pricing, 35 against 30

Also in its favour

  • Free to start without a card
  • No incidents deducted, where Webflow loses 3 points for them

Watch for

No OpenAPI file for the Migration, Asset or Types APIs in the reviewed documentation. The Types API links a Postman collection

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 60
  • Agent ergonomics, 72 against 63
  • Security & auth, 74 against 50
  • Transparency & trust, 81 against 72

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

Prismic

The hosted MCP server stages every write as a draft in a release, cannot delete, and publishes only when a user with the Publisher role asks. Write tokens for the Migration, Asset and Types APIs have no scopes, no OpenAPI file was found, writes are limited to one request a second, and the acceptable use policy forbids access by scripts.

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

Prismic

  1. Ask a repository Administrator to activate Prismic MCP in Settings first. Activation can take several minutes, and each environment has its own setting
  2. Call list_repositories, then get_custom_type or get_shared_slice for the empty content template before create_document
  3. Create a release with create_release and write into it. Call publish_release only on an explicit request, because a publish cannot be undone through MCP
  4. For the Migration API send Authorization: Bearer <write token> and a repository header, one page a request, one request a second, and keep each returned id for later PUT calls
  5. Upload media first (upload_asset or POST to https://asset-api.prismic.io/assets) and reference the asset id in image and media link fields

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

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
