## Which one, for what

### Storyblok (B)

Good for: Teams already on Storyblok who want an agent to draft, translate and publish stories or change component schemas under scoped, per-space permissions.

Ahead on:
- Agent ergonomics, 78 against 72
- Payments & pricing, 35 against 30

Also in its favour:
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: The Management API's OpenAPI spec sits in a private repository. Only the Content Delivery API has a public spec (OpenAPI 3.1, 14 operations)

### 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 68

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

**Storyblok.** The hosted MCP server covers the whole Management API with seven tools, OAuth scopes split into read, write and publish per space, and a confirmation step on deletes. The Management API has no public OpenAPI spec, no idempotency keys and no monitor on the public status page, and publishing is a GET request.

**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

### Storyblok

1. Pick the base URL by the space's region (mapi.storyblok.com for the EU, api-us, api-ca or api-ap otherwise). A token sent to the wrong region fails
2. Create stories without `publish` to keep them as drafts, then call the publish endpoint. It is a GET, so never prefetch or blindly retry it
3. Write translations as `field__i18n__<code>` keys inside the same content object, and set the component field to translatable first
4. Upload an asset in three steps (signed response, POST to S3, finish upload). Through MCP the S3 step needs shell access for curl
5. Stay under 3 calls a second on Starter and 6 on paid plans, and back off exponentially on 429. Saves that break a field's max_length return 422

### 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`
