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Site Mutations — Command the targeted removal of any outdated published nodes or force updates to internal fields seamlessly via update_cms_document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

FAQ

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.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
