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- Site Mutations — Command the targeted removal of any outdated published nodes or force updates to internal fields seamlessly via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
Built-in capabilities (10)

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Umbraco becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Umbraco tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

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 CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
