Webflow Cloud

Initialize new projects from templates, build applications, and deploy to Webflow Cloud with comprehensive validation and deployment verification.

Important Note

ALWAYS use Bash tool for all Webflow CLI operations:

• Execute webflow cloud commands via Bash tool
• Use Read tool to examine configuration files (never modify)
• Use Glob tool to discover project files
• Verify CLI installation: webflow --version
• Check authentication: Use webflow auth login for site authentication
• DO NOT use Webflow MCP tools for CLI workflows
• All CLI commands require proper descriptions (not context parameters)

Non-Interactive Deployment (CRITICAL for agents and automation): The Webflow CLI is interactive by default (environment selection prompts, mount path prompts, update checks). Since AI agents and CI/CD pipelines cannot interact with interactive prompts, you MUST always use these flags together for deployment:

• --no-input — Disables all interactive prompts (environment selection, confirmations, etc.)
• --mount <MOUNT_PATH> — REQUIRED with --no-input to avoid ENVIRONMENT_MOUNT_MISMATCH errors. You MUST determine the correct mount path before deploying — see below.
• --skip-mount-path-check — Skips interactive mount path validation
• --skip-update-check — Skips the interactive package update check

Determining the mount path (NEVER assume a default): The mount path varies between projects (e.g., /app, /, /blog). Assuming a common default like /app WILL cause deployment failures if the project uses a different path. The Webflow CLI does NOT persist the mount path to webflow.json after init or deploy, so it is often not available in local config. Follow these steps in order:

1. Check webflow.json — Read the cloud section and look for a mount or mountPath field. It is usually NOT present, but check anyway.
2. Ask the user — If the mount path is not in webflow.json (which is the common case), you MUST ask the user before deploying: *"What mount path does this project use? (e.g., /app, /, /blog)"*. Do NOT guess, do NOT assume /app, and do NOT proceed without a confirmed mount path.

The canonical non-interactive deploy command is:

webflow cloud deploy --no-input --mount <MOUNT_PATH> --skip-mount-path-check --skip-update-check

Add --auto-publish if the user wants changes published immediately.

Package Manager Detection:

• Check for lock files: package-lock.json (npm), pnpm-lock.yaml (pnpm), yarn.lock (yarn)
• If no lock file found, ask user which package manager to use (npm/pnpm/yarn)
• Use detected package manager for all install/build commands

Instructions

Phase 1: Determine Operation Type

1. Identify user intent: What does the user want to do?

- List available project templates (cloud list) - Initialize new Cloud project (cloud init) - Deploy existing Cloud project (cloud deploy)

1. Verify CLI installed: Run webflow --version to confirm CLI is installed
2. Check project state: Determine if in existing project or starting new

Phase 2A: List Templates (if needed)

1. List available templates: Run webflow cloud list
2. Show template options: Display available frameworks (Astro, Next.js, etc.)
3. Explain templates: Brief description of each template

Phase 2B: Initialize New Project (if needed)

1. Run cloud init: Execute webflow cloud init with options:

- --framework or -f: Choose framework (astro, nextjs) - --mount or -m: Mount path (e.g., /app) - --site-id or -s: Webflow site ID to connect

1. Monitor initialization: Show CLI output
2. Verify project created: Check for webflow.json and project structure
3. Show configuration: Read and display webflow.json with cloud section

Phase 2C: Validate Existing Project (if deploying)

1. Check authentication: Verify site authentication (created via webflow auth login)
2. Read project configuration: Examine webflow.json cloud section:

- projectId: Cloud project identifier (set automatically on first deploy) - framework: Either "nextjs" or "astro" - mount or mountPath: Mount path (may or may not be present)

1. Determine mount path: Follow the "Determining the mount path" steps above. If the mount path is not in webflow.json, ask the user before proceeding. NEVER default to /app or any other value.
2. Validate project structure:

- Required files present - Build scripts configured - webflow.json has cloud configuration

Phase 3: Build Execution (for deployment)

1. Run build command: Execute npm run build or configured build script
2. Monitor build progress: Show build output and detect errors
3. Validate build output:

- Build artifacts created - Output directory exists - No critical errors

Phase 4: Deployment Preview (for deployment)

1. Show deployment summary:

- Project name and framework - Build output location - Environment configuration (if using --env) - Mount path (if specified) - Auto-publish setting (if using --auto-publish)

1. Explain deployment process: What happens during deployment
2. Require explicit confirmation: User must type "deploy" to proceed

Phase 5: Deployment Execution

1. Execute deploy command: Run webflow cloud deploy with non-interactive flags:

- --no-input: REQUIRED — disables all interactive prompts - --mount or -m: REQUIRED — mount path (e.g., /app). Must match the existing environment's mount path. - --skip-mount-path-check: REQUIRED — skips interactive mount path validation - --skip-update-check: RECOMMENDED — skips interactive package update check - --auto-publish: Optional — publish site after deployment - --project-name or -p: Project name (for new projects only) - -e or --environment: Environment name (defaults to first available with --no-input)

1. Monitor deployment progress: Show CLI output and deployment stages
2. Verify deployment success: Confirm deployment completed
3. Provide post-deployment information:

- Deployment success message - Site URL (if published) - Next steps

User prompt:

How do I deploy in CI/CD pipeline?

Response:

🤖 CI/CD Deployment for Webflow Cloud

For automated deployments, use non-interactive mode with options.

### Setup Steps:

1. **Authenticate Locally First**
   Run once to create .env file:

webflow auth login

1. **Add Credentials to CI/CD** Add these environment variables from.env:
  - WEBFLOW_SITE_ID
  - WEBFLOW_SITE_API_TOKEN
2. **Deployment Command** `webflow cloud deploy --no-input --mount <MOUNT_PATH> --skip-mount-path-check --skip-update-check --auto-publish`

### Example: GitHub Actions

name: Deploy to Webflow Cloud on: push: branches: [main]

jobs: deploy: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v3

- name: Setup Node uses: actions/setup-node@v3 with: node-version: 18

- name: Install dependencies run: npm install

- name: Install Webflow CLI run: npm install -g @webflow/webflow-cli

- name: Build application run: npm run build

- name: Deploy to Webflow Cloud run: | webflow cloud deploy \ --no-input \ --mount /app \ --skip-mount-path-check \ --skip-update-check \ --auto-publish env: WEBFLOW_SITE_ID: ${{ secrets.WEBFLOW_SITE_ID }} WEBFLOW_SITE_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.WEBFLOW_SITE_API_TOKEN }}

### Deploy Options:

**Environment Management:**

Deploy to specific environment

webflow cloud deploy --no-input -e staging -m <MOUNT_PATH> --skip-mount-path-check --skip-update-check

Deploy to production with auto-publish

webflow cloud deploy --no-input -e production -m <MOUNT_PATH> --skip-mount-path-check --skip-update-check --auto-publish

**New Project Deployment:**

Deploy new project with name and description

webflow cloud deploy --no-input \ --project-name "Acme App" \ --description "Production deployment" \ --mount <MOUNT_PATH> \ --skip-mount-path-check \ --skip-update-check \ --auto-publish

### Key Options:

- `--env` / `-e` - Environment name
- `--mount` / `-m` - Mount path (e.g., /app)
- `--project-name` / `-p` - Project name (new projects)
- `--directory` / `-d` - Project directory path
- `--description` - Project description
- `--skip-mount-path-check` - No prompts
- `--auto-publish` - Publish after deploy

⚠️ Security:

- Never commit.env files
- Use CI/CD secrets for credentials
- Rotate tokens regularly

Guidelines

Phase 1: Operation Detection

Determine User Intent: Ask clarifying questions if unclear:

• "Do you want to create a new Cloud project or deploy an existing one?"
• "Which framework would you like to use? (Run 'webflow cloud list' to see options)"

CLI Verification:

# Check CLI installed
webflow --version

# If not installed:
npm install -g @webflow/webflow-cli

Phase 2A: Template Listing

List Templates Command:

# Show available templates
webflow cloud list

# Output shows available frameworks (astro, nextjs)

Template Information:

• Astro: Static site generator, great for content-focused sites
• Next.js: React framework, supports SSR and SSG

Phase 2B: Project Initialization

Init Command Structure:

# Basic init with framework
webflow cloud init -f <framework>

# With mount path
webflow cloud init -f astro -m /app

# With site ID (connects to specific site)
webflow cloud init -f nextjs -m /app -s <site-id>

Init Options:

• --framework / -f (required): astro or nextjs
• --mount / -m: Mount path (default prompts)
• --site-id / -s: Connect to specific site

After Init:

1. Verify webflow.json created
2. Check cloud configuration
3. Show project structure
4. Guide user to next steps (build, develop, deploy)

Phase 2C: Project Validation

webflow.json Cloud Schema:

{
  "cloud": {
    "projectId": "<Project ID>",  // Auto-set on first deploy
    "framework": "astro"           // or "nextjs"
  }
}

Configuration Fields:

• projectId: Cloud project identifier (automatically set by CLI on first deploy)
• framework: Framework preset - either "nextjs" or "astro"
• mount path: NOT stored in webflow.json by the CLI. You must ask the user for it if deploying an existing project.

Authentication Check:

# Site authentication creates .env file
# Check for:
cat .env

# Should contain:
# WEBFLOW_SITE_ID=your-site-id
# WEBFLOW_SITE_API_TOKEN=your-token

# If missing, authenticate:
webflow auth login

Phase 3: Build Process

Build Command:

# Use project's build script
npm run build
# or
yarn build
# or
pnpm build

# Check for errors
echo $?  # 0 = success

Build Validation:

• Check build output directory exists
• Verify no critical errors
• Confirm assets generated

Phase 4: Deployment Preview

Preview Format:

📋 Deployment Preview

Project: [Name or "New Project"]
Framework: [astro/nextjs]
Mount Path: [Path if specified]
Environment: [Name if specified]

[First time: Explain authentication flow]
[Subsequent: Show project ID]

Options:
- Auto-publish: [Yes/No]
- Environment: [Name or default]

⚠️ Type "deploy" to proceed

First-Time Deployment: Explain clearly:

1. Browser will open for authentication
2. Select your Webflow site
3. Project ID will be created and saved
4. Future deploys use saved project ID

Phase 5: Deployment Execution

Deploy Command:

IMPORTANT: The Webflow CLI is interactive by default. Always use --no-input and --mount together to avoid interactive prompts that agents cannot handle.

# Standard non-interactive deploy (use this by default)
webflow cloud deploy --no-input --mount <MOUNT_PATH> --skip-mount-path-check --skip-update-check

# With auto-publish (publishes site after deploy)
webflow cloud deploy --no-input --mount <MOUNT_PATH> --skip-mount-path-check --skip-update-check --auto-publish

# New project with name (first deploy)
webflow cloud deploy --no-input \
  --project-name "My App" \
  --mount <MOUNT_PATH> \
  --skip-mount-path-check \
  --skip-update-check

# With specific environment
webflow cloud deploy --no-input \
  -e production \
  --mount <MOUNT_PATH> \
  --skip-mount-path-check \
  --skip-update-check \
  --auto-publish

Deploy Options:

• --no-input: REQUIRED for agents — disables all interactive prompts
• --mount / -m: REQUIRED — path to mount project. Must match the existing environment's mount path.
• --skip-mount-path-check: REQUIRED for agents — skips interactive mount path validation
• --skip-update-check: RECOMMENDED — skips interactive package update check
• --auto-publish: Publish the site after deployment
• -e / --environment: Environment name to deploy to
• --project-name / -p: Project name (for new projects)
• --directory / -d: Project directory if not in root
• --description: Project description (for new projects)

Success Indicators:

• Build artifacts uploaded
• Deployment completed
• Project ID saved (first time)
• Site URL available

Verification:

1. Check CLI output for success
2. Verify project ID added to webflow.json (first time)
3. Confirm deployment URL works
4. Note if site needs to be published

File Operations

Reading Files: Always use Read tool (never modify):

# View Cloud configuration
Read: webflow.json

# View package configuration
Read: package.json

# View environment (if exists)
Read: .env

# View build output
Read: dist/ or .next/ or .output/

Discovering Files: Use Glob tool to find files:

# Find configuration files
Glob: *.json

# Find build output
Glob: dist/**/*

# Find source files
Glob: src/**/*

Never Use Write/Edit Tools:

• Don't create webflow.json with Write (show user the structure)
• Don't modify configuration files
• Let CLI handle file creation
• Only read files to show content
