What is the 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.
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- Site Mutations — Command the targeted removal of any outdated published nodes or force updates to internal fields seamlessly via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
How it works
- Subscribe manually to this connected MCP server
- Inject your active Umbraco Base URL mapping and your Management/Delivery Bearer Auth Token
- Engage directly your preferred AI model (Claude or Cursor) asking it to index pages natively
Eliminate messy IDE switching while structuring robust Headless projects. Let the AI prototype content inside Umbraco dynamically utilizing REST interfaces.
Who is this for?
- CMS Platform Engineers — automate routine headless content extractions requesting schema structures from the LLM avoiding UI switch delays
- Digital Editors — prompt the agent to bulk-view lists of raw content items skipping complicated table drill-downs natively
- Frontend Architects — rapidly confirm internal content API stability extracting pure JSON payloads mapping to visual interfaces directly

Frequently asked questions
Can it easily retrieve the content of a page assuming I only know its URL path?
Absolutely. Instruct the agent to 'get_delivery_content_by_path' and supply something like '/home/about'. It traverses the Delivery API native routing map and returns perfectly all inner block grids and content variables attached.
How do I ensure the JSON payloads for `create_cms_document` are exactly what Umbraco expects?
Use the agent to first run 'list_document_types'. It pulls down the global schema blueprints. The LLM can explicitly read the allowed field types (like rich text or media pickers) and logically construct the insertion matching it exactly.
Does it pull media details dynamically?
Yes. Pinging 'list_media_assets' grants full insight over all stored visuals inside your Umbraco media containers, returning URL addresses alongside fundamental dimension formats so the agent can reference them anywhere.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
