Be Token Efficient

Claude Desktop is a good example of a tool

But it is very token-hungry, in part because of the protocol traffic occurring

Know Your ID's

If you have a lot of sites in your workspace, MCP has to list them and locate the correct site in order to get the SiteID. If you are doing regular work with a specific site, you can short circuit this process by making these available.

An easy way to get your site ID is to go to your published site and view source, you will see wf-site-id in the attributes of the topmost <html> element.

Use Projects

Claude's Projects allows for instructions, where you can specify the Webflow site_id and collection_id's that you work with most commonly.

This can reduce calls to the List Sites and List Collections and API endpoints, which will both reduce token use and speed up basic tasks you want to perform in Claude.
