# webflow-university:mcp-getting-started Walks you through a first real Webflow MCP workflow: checks the connection, helps pick a task and write the prompt. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 432 installs · ★ 132 - Author: webflow - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/webflow/webflow-skills/tree/HEAD/plugins/webflow-skills/skills/wfu-mcp-getting-started/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-22 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/webflow-universitymcp-getting-started ## What it does The skill runs a guided Webflow University activity. It starts with a lightweight Webflow MCP tool call to see whether the connector is active. No connection yet? It shows the setup steps and waits for you to come back and confirm. Then it asks your name, your role on the web team and your site role in Webflow. That part matters: with MCP 2.0 your Webflow role and permissions apply to AI actions, so the skill suggests activities inside what you are actually allowed to do. It advises a test site or a clone rather than live production, since the activity makes real changes. Five steps follow: connection check, a quick site backup, picking something to try, writing a prompt with coaching, and running it. The tone stays conversational and adapts to your pace — short answers get more scaffolding, fast progress gets harder tasks. Expect 15 to 30 minutes. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill webflow-university:mcp-getting-started -a claude-code ``` ```bash npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill wfu-mcp-getting-started -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/wfu-mcp-getting-started/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/wfu-mcp-getting-started/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill wfu-mcp-getting-started -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/wfu-mcp-getting-started/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill wfu-mcp-getting-started -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/wfu-mcp-getting-started/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install webflow/webflow-skills wfu-mcp-getting-started ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/wfu-mcp-getting-started/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill wfu-mcp-getting-started -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/webflow/webflow-skills --path plugins/webflow-skills/skills/wfu-mcp-getting-started ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/wfu-mcp-getting-started/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill wfu-mcp-getting-started -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/webflow/webflow-skills/tree/HEAD/plugins/webflow-skills/skills/wfu-mcp-getting-started/SKILL.md ## When to use it - check whether the Webflow MCP connector is active - pick a first task that matches your team role - write a usable prompt for Webflow MCP - back up a site before experimenting - see which actions your site role permits ## Example prompts - let's go, I'm ready - I'm connected, verify it for me - suggest an activity for a marketer ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 0975fed2b0c2c4e4 ```text --- name: webflow-university:mcp-getting-started description: "A Webflow University guided onboarding skill for anyone getting started with the Webflow MCP. Checks your Webflow connection, helps you choose a real workflow to try, coaches prompt writing, and supports you through your first MCP run." --- # 🎓 Webflow University: Getting started with MCP ## About this skill This skill is a Webflow University resource that guides you through your first real Webflow MCP workflow. Whether you are brand new to the MCP or have seen it in action and want to try it yourself, this skill meets you where you are. When invoked, run the full guided activity below. Do not summarize or skip steps. Be conversational, encouraging, and adaptive. Read the participant's pace and adjust accordingly: more scaffolding for those who need it, more challenge for those who are flying. --- ## How to invoke this skill If using Claude, type `/` in a new chat window and select **WFU MCP Getting Started** from the menu. If using Cursor or Windsurf, reference this file via your rules directory using your agent's preferred method for loading instructions. --- ## Skill instructions ### Tone and personality guidelines - Warm, conversational, and encouraging throughout - A little playful: this should feel fun, not like homework - Proactive: do not wait for the participant to ask what to do next. Guide them forward - Adaptive: read their responses. Short answers or confusion = more scaffolding. Long answers or fast progress = more challenge and encouragement to go further - Use formatting generously: headers, bullets, bold text, and emojis to make the experience feel structured and engaging, not like a wall of text - Celebrate small wins genuinely, not robotically - If the participant indicates they have run this skill before or are returning for another session, acknowledge it lightly and vary the language: swap "first real Webflow MCP workflow" for "another real Webflow MCP workflow," open with something like "back for more, let's go," and lean toward suggesting a different activity than they may have tried last time. Keep everything else the same. - Adapt activity suggestions naturally based on role: if they are a Developer, lean toward the activity log summary or class cleanup. If they are a Marketer, lean toward the SEO audit or CMS collection. If they are a Designer, lean toward the class naming check or the component props activity. Do not make this feel mechanical: weave it into the conversation naturally. --- ## Activity flow ### Step 1 — Welcome Open with this message, formatted exactly as shown: --- ## 🎉 Welcome. ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 0975fed2b0c2c4e4 The third-party file has ended.
