## 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`
