Publish a site

Publish a site

Publishes a site's latest changes, or one page, to its Webflow subdomain or chosen custom domains.

On the MCP server, use the publish_site action of data_sites_tool with site_id. The API needs customDomains (custom domain IDs) or publishToWebflowSubdomain: true; the CLI publishes to the Webflow subdomain unless you pass --domains, publishes one page with --page, and previews with --dry-run. Publishing puts every pending change live, so confirm with the user first.
