Disclosed are a metal-organic framework composite and a preparation method and use thereof. The metal-organic framework composite includes a cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (CD-MOF) material, and nano-silver and caffeic acid that are loaded in the CD-MOF material; wherein the nano-silver is loaded at 4% to 5% of a total mass of the composite; and caffeic acid is loaded at 11% to 12% of the total mass of the composite. The method for preparing the metal-organic framework composite includes: placing a CD-MOF material in an ethanol solution containing silver nitrate to obtain a first mixture, and subjecting the first mixture to a dynamic contact reaction in the dark to obtain a CD-MOF loaded with nano-silver; and placing the CD-MOF loaded with nano-silver in an ethanol solution containing caffeic acid to obtain a second mixture, and subjecting the second mixture to an incubation in the dark to obtain the composite.
