Webflow Mcp:link Checker

Link Checker

Audit and fix broken or insecure links across your Webflow site to improve SEO and user experience.

Important Note

ALWAYS use Webflow MCP tools for all operations:

• Use Webflow MCP's webflow_guide_tool to get best practices before starting
• Use Webflow MCP's data_sites_tool with action list_sites to identify available sites
• Use Webflow MCP's data_sites_tool with action get_site to retrieve site details
• Use Webflow MCP's data_pages_tool with action list_pages to get all pages
• Use Webflow MCP's data_pages_tool with action get_page_content to extract links from static pages
• Use Webflow MCP's data_pages_tool with action update_static_content to fix links on static pages
• Use Webflow MCP's data_cms_tool with action get_collection_list to get all CMS collections
• Use Webflow MCP's data_cms_tool with action get_collection_details to get collection schemas
• Use Webflow MCP's data_cms_tool with action list_collection_items to get CMS items with links
• Use Webflow MCP's data_cms_tool with action update_collection_items to fix links in CMS (draft)
• Use Webflow MCP's data_cms_tool with action publish_collection_items to publish fixed CMS items
• DO NOT use any other tools or methods for Webflow operations
• All tool calls must include the required context parameter (15-25 words, third-person perspective)
• No Designer connection is required — both static page and CMS link fixes go through data_ tools

Instructions

Phase 1: Site Selection & Discovery

1. Get site information: Use Webflow MCP's data_sites_tool with action list_sites to identify target site
2. Confirm scope: Ask user if they want to check:
   • Static pages only
   • CMS content only
   • Both static pages and CMS content
3. List pages: Use Webflow MCP's data_pages_tool with action list_pages to get all pages
4. List collections: Use Webflow MCP's data_cms_tool with action get_collection_list to get all CMS collections

Phase 2: Link Extraction & Validation

5. Extract links from static pages: Use Webflow MCP's data_pages_tool with action get_page_content for each page
   • Identify all link elements (Link, Button, TextLink, LinkBlock)
   • Capture: pageId, nodeName, URL, link text
6. Extract links from CMS: Use Webflow MCP's data_cms_tool with action list_collection_items for each collection
   • Identify Link fields and Rich Text fields with links
   • Capture: collectionId, itemId, fieldName, URL
7. Validate each link: Test URL accessibility
   • Check for 4xx/5xx errors (broken links)
   • Check for HTTP vs HTTPS (insecure links)
   • Test if HTTP has HTTPS equivalent available
   • Flag redirects (3xx status codes)
8. Categorize results:
   • ✅ Working links (2xx status)
   • ❌ Broken links (4xx/5xx errors)
   • ⚠️ Insecure links (HTTP when HTTPS available)
   • 🔄 Redirects (3xx status)
   • ⚪ Manual review needed (timeouts, DNS errors, etc.)

Phase 3: Analysis & Reporting

9. Calculate statistics:
   • Total links scanned
   • Links by type (internal vs external)
   • Links by status (working, broken, insecure, redirects)
   • Links by location (static pages vs CMS)
10. Generate health score: Calculate link health (0-100)
    • Working links: +1 point each
    • Broken links: -5 points each
    • Insecure links: -2 points each
    • Redirects: -1 point each
    • Normalize to 0-100 scale
11. Identify critical issues: Prioritize fixes
    • 🔴 Critical: Broken links on high-traffic pages
    • ⚠️ Warning: Insecure HTTP links
    • 💡 Suggestion: Optimize redirects

Phase 4: Suggestion Generation & Approval

12. Generate fix suggestions: For each problematic link, suggest fix
    • Broken links: Remove link or update to correct URL
    • Insecure links: Upgrade HTTP to HTTPS
    • Redirects: Update to final destination URL
13. Show preview with validation:

    [1] ✓ Fix insecure link
        Page: About Us
        Element: Button "Learn More"
        Current: http://example.com
        Suggested: https://example.com
        ✅ HTTPS version verified working
    
    [2] ⚠️ Fix broken link

        Current: https://oldsite.com/page
        Suggested: [REMOVE LINK or provide correct URL]
        ❌ URL returns 404 - manual review needed
    

14. Implement granular approval: Ask user which fixes to apply
    • Type numbers to skip (e.g., "2,4")
    • Type "all" to proceed with all automatic fixes
    • Type "none" to cancel
    • Flag manual review items separately

Phase 5: Execution & Confirmation

15. Apply fixes to static pages: Use Webflow MCP's data_pages_tool with action update_static_content
    • Update link URLs in nodes
    • Process in batches of 20 links
16. Apply fixes to CMS content: Use Webflow MCP's data_cms_tool with action update_collection_items
    • Update Link fields directly
    • Update links in Rich Text fields
    • Process in batches of 50 items
17. Publish changes (if requested): Use Webflow MCP's data_cms_tool with action publish_collection_items
18. Show progress: Display progress indicators for large operations
19. Generate final report:
    • Links scanned: X
    • Links fixed: Y
    • Links requiring manual review: Z
    • Health score improvement: Before → After

Phase 6: Verification & Recommendations

20. Verify fixes: Re-check fixed links to confirm success
21. Report failures: Clearly identify any fixes that failed
22. Provide recommendations:

Guidelines

Phase 1: Discovery Best Practices

Site Selection:

• Use data_sites_tool with action list_sites to get available sites
• Never assume site ID
• Confirm site name with user

Scope Definition:

• Ask if checking static pages, CMS, or both
• Estimate time based on scope:
  • Static pages only: 1-3 minutes
  • CMS only: 2-5 minutes (depends on item count)
  • Full site: 5-10 minutes

Collection Selection:

• List all collections with item counts
• If user specifies collection, focus on that
• If "all CMS", check all collections

Phase 2: Link Extraction Best Practices

Static Page Link Extraction:

• Use data_pages_tool with action get_page_content to get page nodes
• Look for these node types:
  • Link (a tag)
  • Button (with link)
  • TextLink
  • LinkBlock
• Extract href/url property
• Capture link text for reporting
• Track nodeId for fixing later

CMS Link Extraction:

• Use data_cms_tool with action get_collection_details to identify Link and Rich Text fields
• Use data_cms_tool with action list_collection_items to get all items
• For Link fields: Extract URL directly
• For Rich Text fields: Parse HTML to extract tags
• Track: collectionId, itemId, fieldName for fixing

Link Validation:

• Test each unique URL (avoid duplicate tests)
• Use HEAD request first (faster than GET)
• Fallback to GET if HEAD fails
• Handle timeouts (10 second max)
• For HTTP links: Test HTTPS equivalent
• Record status code and final URL (after redirects)

Categorization Rules:

✅ Working (2xx):
- 200 OK
- 201 Created
- 204 No Content

❌ Broken (4xx/5xx):
- 400 Bad Request
- 401 Unauthorized
- 403 Forbidden
- 404 Not Found
- 410 Gone
- 500 Internal Server Error
- 502 Bad Gateway
- 503 Service Unavailable

⚠️ Insecure (HTTP):
- URL starts with http://
- HTTPS equivalent exists and returns 2xx
- Mark as "upgrade to HTTPS"

🔄 Redirects (3xx):
- 301 Moved Permanently
- 302 Found
- 307 Temporary Redirect
- 308 Permanent Redirect

⚪ Manual Review:
- Timeout errors
- DNS resolution failures
- Connection refused
- SSL certificate errors

Phase 3: Analysis Best Practices

Health Score Calculation:

Formula:
1. Base score = 100
2. Working links: No change
3. Broken links: -5 points each
4. Insecure links: -2 points each
5. Redirects: -1 point each
6. Minimum score: 0
7. Maximum score: 100

Example:
- Total links: 200
- Working: 180 (no penalty)
- Broken: 5 (−25 points)
- Insecure: 10 (−20 points)
- Redirects: 5 (−5 points)
- Score: 100 − 25 − 20 − 5 = 50/100

Issue Prioritization:

🔴 Critical (fix immediately):
- Broken links on homepage
- Broken links on high-traffic pages
- Broken links in navigation
- 404 errors on important external references

⚠️ Warning (fix soon):
- Insecure HTTP links (security risk)
- Broken links on blog posts
- Broken links in footer
- 410 Gone errors

💡 Suggestion (optimize):
- 301 redirects (update to final destination)
- 302 redirects (may change, monitor)
- External links with slow response times

Statistics to Report:

Essential:
- Total links scanned
- Working links count & percentage
- Broken links count & percentage
- Insecure links count & percentage
- Redirect links count & percentage

Detailed:
- Links by location (static vs CMS)
- Links by type (internal vs external)
- Most common issues
- Pages/items with most issues
- External domains with most broken links

Phase 4: Suggestion Generation Best Practices

Automatic Fix Criteria:

Can auto-fix:
✅ HTTP → HTTPS (if HTTPS verified working)
✅ Redirects → Final destination (if final URL verified)
✅ Relative URLs → Absolute URLs (for external sites)

Needs manual review:
⚠️ Broken links (404, 410, 5xx) - requires correct URL
⚠️ HTTP with no HTTPS equivalent
⚠️ Timeouts or connection errors
⚠️ SSL certificate errors
⚠️ Authentication required (401, 403)

Preview Format:

[X] ✓ Auto-fix available
    Location: [Page name or CMS item]
    Element: [Element type + text]
    Current: [Current URL]
    New: [Proposed URL]
    ✅ Verification: [Status]

[Y] ⚠️ Manual review needed
    Location: [Page name or CMS item]
    Element: [Element type + text]
    Current: [Current URL]
    Issue: [Error description]
    Suggestion: [What to do]

Granular Approval:

• Number each fix starting from 1
• Show all automatic fixes first
• Show manual review items separately
• Allow user to select specific fixes
• Options: "all", "none", or specific numbers
• Example: "1,3,5-10" applies fixes 1, 3, and 5 through 10

Phase 5: Execution Best Practices

Static Page Updates:

Requirements:
- Use data_pages_tool with action update_static_content
- Update nodes array with new URLs
- Process in batches of 20 links per page
- Verify updates after each batch

Error Handling:
- If Designer not connected: Report and skip static pages
- If update fails: Mark link and continue with others
- Report partial successes separately

CMS Updates:

For Link Fields:
- Direct update: fieldData[fieldName] = "new-url"
- Use data_cms_tool with action update_collection_items
- Option: update live or draft

For Rich Text Fields:
- Parse HTML content
- Find and replace <a> tags
- Preserve other HTML formatting
- Update fieldData[fieldName] with new HTML

Batch Processing:
- Process 50 items per batch
- Show progress for large collections
- Handle API rate limits gracefully

Publishing:

Ask user:
"Would you like to publish the changes immediately?"
- Yes: Use data_cms_tool with action publish_collection_items
- No: Leave as drafts

For static pages:
- Changes are immediate (Designer updates live)
- Warn user that static page changes are live

Phase 6: Verification Best Practices

Re-validation:

• Re-check all fixed links
• Confirm status changed (404 → 200, HTTP → HTTPS)
• Report any fixes that didn't work
• Calculate new health score

Failure Reporting:

If any fixes failed:
❌ Fixes that failed (X):

[1] Failed to update
    Location: Contact page
    Reason: Page content changed since last read (conflict)
    Action: Re-fetch the page and retry

[2] URL still broken
    Location: Blog post "Guide"
    Reason: HTTPS version returned 404
    Action: Manual correction needed

Success Reporting:

✅ Summary:

Before:
- Health Score: 76/100
- Broken links: 8
- Insecure links: 18
- Redirects: 6

After:
- Health Score: 95/100 (+19)
- Broken links: 2 (6 fixed, 2 need manual review)
- Insecure links: 0 (18 fixed)
- Redirects: 0 (6 fixed)

Changes:
- Static pages: 8 links updated on 5 pages
- CMS content: 16 links updated in 12 items
- Total fixes: 24 ✅
- Manual review: 2 ⚠️

Recommendations:

Always provide:
1. Schedule for next check (monthly/quarterly)
2. Monitoring suggestions for critical links
3. Best practices for avoiding broken links
4. URL redirect strategies if applicable

Example:
💡 Recommendations:

1. **Schedule regular checks**

   - Set calendar reminder

2. **Monitor critical external links**
   - Key partners: company-a.com, partner-site.com
   - Documentation: docs.example.com
   - Social media profiles

3. **Set up URL redirects**
   - If changing URLs, create 301 redirects
   - Test redirects before going live
   - Keep redirect map updated

4. **Best practices**
   - Test external links before adding
   - Use relative URLs for internal links
   - Avoid deep linking to external pages
   - Verify links after major redesigns

Phase 7: Export Options

Report Formats:

Offer to export findings:

1. **Markdown** - Human-readable report
   - Include all statistics
   - List all issues found
   - Show fixes applied
   - Add recommendations
   - Great for documentation

2. **CSV** - Spreadsheet format

# Link Audit Report: Company Website
Date: January 10, 2026

## Summary
- Total links scanned: 247
- Health score: 95/100
- Links fixed: 24
- Manual review needed: 2

## Issues Found
### Broken Links (8)
1. About Us > Button "Visit Partner"
   - URL: https://partner-old-site.com
   - Status: 404 Not Found
   - Fix: Manual review needed

...

## Recommendations
1. Schedule monthly link checks
2. Monitor key external links
3. Set up 301 redirects for URL changes

Phase 8: Performance Optimization

Batch Processing:

For large sites:
- Process pages in batches of 10
- Process CMS items in batches of 50
- Show progress: "Processing batch 1 of 5..."
- Timeout protection: Skip after 30s per batch

Caching Validation Results:

- Cache validation results by unique URL
- If same URL appears 10 times, validate once
- Report: "Checking 87 unique URLs (out of 247 total links)"
- Reduces validation time significantly

Parallel vs Sequential:

Parallel (faster):
- Link validation (test multiple URLs simultaneously)
- Page content extraction (fetch multiple pages)

Sequential (required):
- Link updates (one at a time to avoid conflicts)
- Publishing (one batch at a time)

Phase 9: Error Handling

Common Errors:

1. Designer Not Connected:

❌ Error: Cannot update static pages

Reason: Designer MCP app not connected

Solution:
1. Open Webflow Designer
2. Open the target site
3. Connect Designer MCP app
4. Retry static page fixes

Note: CMS fixes can proceed without Designer

2. Rate Limits:

1. Check if external services are down
2. Verify domain and SSL configuration
3. Test a few links manually
4. Contact Webflow support if needed

Shall I still proceed with individual link fixes? (yes/no)

Case 3: Mixed HTTP/HTTPS Site

⚠️ Mixed Content Warning

Your site uses HTTPS but has 18 HTTP links.

This creates:
- Security warnings in browsers
- SEO penalties
- Trust issues for visitors

🔧 Recommendation:
Upgrade all HTTP links to HTTPS (all 18 can be auto-fixed)

Proceed with upgrade? (yes/no)

Case 4: Redirect Chains

⚠️ Redirect Chain Detected

Link: https://example.com/old
  → 301 to: https://example.com/temp
  → 301 to: https://example.com/final

Recommendation: Update directly to final URL
- Improves page load speed
- Reduces redirect overhead
- Better for SEO

Fix: Update to https://example.com/final

Apply fix? (yes/no)
