Manage CMS Documents via MCP Server

The `create_cms_document` tool lets you push new content records straight into Umbraco. You just feed it a JSON object, and the server handles making the document live. The `update_cms_document` tool works the same way. Instead of manually editing drafts in the backoffice, your agent updates existing fields—like changing an article's date or fixing copy—using a simple ID and new data payload.

Fetch Umbraco Content by Path

Need content from a specific page? Use `get_delivery_content_by_path`. You hand it the URL slug, like `/about-us`, and your agent gets back the full data packet for that item. It’s way faster than navigating through the Umbraco admin panels. Want to find something by its unique identifier? The `get_delivery_content_by_id` tool uses a GUID or numeric ID instead. This lets your AI client pull content no matter where it lives in the CMS.

Browse Umbraco Assets and Types

You can list everything available in the system using `list_document_types` to see every schema defined in Umbraco. It’s perfect for figuring out what kind of data structure a new piece of content needs. Need media? The `list_media_assets` tool pulls names and paths from the Umbraco Media library, giving your agent context on all available images and files to include in content.
