Yes, you can use deletecmsdocument. Just remember that this action is permanent and happens directly within the Umbraco CMS environment.

Q: If I need to check document status via Umbraco and Cursor, what tools are best?

Use getmanagementdocument if you're checking draft or backoffice views. For published content, stick to getdeliverycontentbyid.

Live Content CRUD in Cursor

Don't write mock data for content. The `get_delivery_content_by_id` tool lets the agent fetch real Umbraco records, and that live JSON drops right into your code block. You can then use it immediately. Want to build a new feature? Use `create_cms_document`. Your AI client executes this through Cursor’s Agent mode, allowing you to write the API call directly while knowing the data will actually populate Umbraco.

Querying Umbraco Content by Filters

The `query_delivery_content` tool lets you filter content items using specific criteria—for example, only fetching 'blogPost' types. This is key for building scoped components that need data from a narrow set of sources. If filtering isn't enough, the general `list_delivery_content` supports pagination via `take` and `skip`, letting you process large batches of Umbraco content without running into limits.

Handling Umbraco Assets in Cursor

The server gives you full visibility with `list_document_types`, so your code knows exactly what schemas exist before it tries to read from them. You'll never guess the structure again. Plus, `list_media_assets` pulls file details directly into your workspace context. This means if your component needs an image path, the agent grabs the correct asset ID for you.

Setup guide

Set up Umbraco MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Umbraco MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Umbraco transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Umbraco tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "umbraco-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
}
