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

- 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
- Ask a repository Administrator to activate Prismic MCP in Settings first. Activation can take several minutes, and each environment has its own setting
- Call
list_repositories, thenget_custom_typeorget_shared_slicefor the empty content template beforecreate_document - Create a release with
create_releaseand write into it. Callpublish_releaseonly on an explicit request, because a publish cannot be undone through MCP - For the Migration API send
Authorization: Bearer <write token>and arepositoryheader, one page a request, one request a second, and keep each returnedidfor later PUT calls - Upload media first (
upload_assetor POST tohttps://asset-api.prismic.io/assets) and reference the assetidin image and media link fields
Webflow
- Send the token as
Authorization: Bearerto https://api.webflow.com/v2. Ask forcms:readandcms:writeonly, plussites:writeif the task publishes - Create or update items first, then call Publish Items or Publish Site. An item with
isDrafttrue and alastPublisheddate is live with unpublished changes - Stay under 60 requests a minute on Starter and Basic and 120 on Premium, read X-RateLimit-Remaining, and wait for Retry-After on 429
- Page item lists with
limit(maximum 100) andoffset, and filter withfilter[<fieldSlug>][<operator>], up to 10 terms - 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
