Can my AI agent create new pages from specific templates?

Yes. Ask the agent to list your content templates to find the ID of the template you want (e.g., 'Article' or 'Landing Page'). Then, provide the parent path where you want the new items to exist. Your agent will call the Sitecore API to instantly generate the new items based on those schemas without requiring you to open the Content Editor.

How can I bulk update metadata for outdated pages?

First, ask your agent to search for the specific path or keyword to get all related page IDs. Then, command the agent to update each item by passing a JSON with the new fields (like updating SEO descriptions or valid dates). The AI parses your instruction and dynamically executes the updates directly into Sitecore.

Is it possible to check whether an item is published or still in Draft mode?

Absolutely. You can request the agent to get the workflow state of any given item path. The agent will respond with the current state (e.g., Draft, Awaiting Approval, or Published), making it easy to track content pipelines.

Sitecore + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Sitecore MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Sitecore tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
