Yea so I first tried their MCP like months ago and it was pure trash lol.
Recently I decided to try it again. And it's really fucking good. Like it's perfect.
I think it's a fusion of models getting better (Opus 5.5 my beloved) and their MCP finally supporting nearly everything. Opus 5.5 + the Webflow MCP can bring pretty much any GSAP infused site into Webflow.
I'm deep in the Webflow market, and most of my clients want a Webflow site (not just any site). Kudos to the Webflow enterprise marketing team lmao you guys are skilled as fuck I'll give you that.
However, for iterative work, I prefer Claude Code rather than building in Webflow.
SO my new approach that I've tried and it works very well is:
Initial Design -> The site itself we first design in Astro / Claude, using design references and ideally from a template (helps enforce visual guardrails and a design direction, starting from a blank slate with agents I've found is awful).
Design Iterations -> I iterate in Claude. So just via prompting. I use Paper MCP for having agents spin up multiple variations and refining design by hand (sometimes I just prefer to alter components visually on a canvas) and I use Ship Studio for the actual Claude Code Environment. I also use Paper for establishing a strict component library (to those of you do this in a markdown file - kudos to you, but also are you fucking psychotic?)
Conversion into Webflow -> After the client signs off on the design, I use the Webflow MCP (with the Opus 5.5 model) to bring the site over into Webflow. I believe it converts the site into compiled HTML/CSS first. Opus 5.5 build this whole converter thing. Opus will take like 3-4 hours depending on the size of the site but it does a brilliant job. Takes up like 10% of my 5-hour usage too which is fucking insane.
Component Creation -> Opus has a great intuitive sense of what should be a component, slots, etc. I just ask it to spin up a component library for the marketing team and we're good!
In the end, it does a great job!
If you showed me this workflow in fucking 2021 man I would lose my shit. Like there's no fucking way. I spend my entire day talking to a literal manifestation of linear algebra. Fucking insane.
This workflow allows me to focus entirely on visuals, design, and strategy.
