How to Use the Umbraco MCP in Cline

Q: How can I test an Umbraco feature using Cline and the MCP Server?

You write end-to-end tests. You'll use getdeliverycontentbypath to fetch known data, then you'll use updatecmsdocument to simulate a change, and finally, you can commit that action in your terminal.

Q: Does Cline handle listing content via the MCP Server with Umbraco?

Yep. The listdeliverycontent tool supports pagination (take, skip), so you can write a loop in your code that handles massive amounts of Umbraco content without erroring out.

Automating Full Content Workflows

The `update_cms_document` tool lets you write code that modifies Umbraco content. You pass the document ID and new JSON, and Cline writes the necessary logic to make those changes. It also gives you the means to create documents via `create_cms_document`. Write a script that builds out an entire section? Just use this tool.

Deep Content Inspection for Code

To read specific content, Cline uses `get_delivery_content_by_id` or `get_delivery_content_by_path`. You can write functions that fetch an item by GUID or by its clean URL path. Need to know what kinds of documents Umbraco supports? Use `list_document_types` to get the schema definitions, which you can then use in your code.

Managing Media and Assets Programmatically

You write functions that list media assets using `list_media_assets`, getting the details of every file. Cline also lets you browse drafts directly with `get_management_document`. This entire MCP Server allows your agent to treat Umbraco as a structured API endpoint, letting you build production-ready code around it.
