Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Umbraco to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Umbraco works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Umbraco to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Umbraco, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Umbraco. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Umbraco owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical users who manage Umbraco-based headless or hybrid sites.

  • 01

    CMS Platform Engineers

    Automate content extractions and schema queries to avoid UI delays.

  • 02

    Digital Editors

    Bulk view content lists and manage items without navigating complex tables.

  • 03

    Frontend Architects

    Verify the stability of content APIs by pulling raw JSON payloads.

FAQ

Questions Umbraco owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Umbraco site to this MCP?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and provide your Umbraco Base URL along with your Management and Delivery Bearer Auth Tokens. Once configured, you can use it in any compatible client.

  • 02

    Does this work with headless Umbraco setups?

    Yes. It specifically uses the Umbraco Delivery API to fetch content, making it ideal for headless architectures.

  • 03

    Can I create new content through my AI agent?

    Yes. The create_cms_document capability allows you to push new documents to the CMS using JSON that follows your defined schemas.

  • 04

    Is it safe to delete documents using this MCP?

    The delete_cms_document capability is irreversible. You should only use it when you are certain you want to permanently remove a document from the CMS.

  • 05

    What clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use this MCP with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 06

    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.

  • 07

    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.

  • 08

    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.
