About Umbraco MCP Server
Connect your Umbraco CMS backend to any AI agent and take full autonomous control bridging the powerful Delivery and Management APIs purely through natural conversation.
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Umbraco tools. Connect 10 tools through the Vinkius and assign role-based access — a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.
What you can do
- Delivery API Traversing — Instantly list public pages, query by content type, or securely fetch structured fields by their exact domain paths organically
- Backoffice Document Control — Push new document permutations natively adhering to your configured schemas without opening a single GUI panel
- Site Mutations — Command the targeted removal of any outdated published nodes or force updates to internal fields seamlessly via
update_cms_document - Schema & Media Insight — Grab absolute lists tracking your stored binary media files alongside the global Document Types blueprints mapped out natively
The Umbraco MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use AutoGen with the Umbraco MCP Server
AutoGen provides unique advantages when paired with Umbraco through the Model Context Protocol.
Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use Umbraco tools to solve complex tasks
Role-based architecture lets you assign Umbraco tool access to specific agents — a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive Umbraco tool calls
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes Umbraco tool responses in an isolated environment
Umbraco + AutoGen Use Cases
Practical scenarios where AutoGen combined with the Umbraco MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Collaborative analysis: one agent queries Umbraco while another validates results and a third generates the final report
Automated review pipelines: a researcher agent fetches data from Umbraco, a critic agent evaluates quality, and a writer produces the output
Interactive planning: agents negotiate task allocation using Umbraco data to make informed decisions about resource distribution
Code generation with live data: an AutoGen coder agent writes scripts that process Umbraco responses in a sandboxed execution environment
