How to inspect document types with your AI

Connect your AI to Umbraco to give it a map of your content structures. Once connected, your agent knows exactly which fields exist for every content type.

Short answer

How can my AI see my Umbraco document types?

Your AI uses the list_document_types tool to pull the full list of schemas from your Umbraco instance. This gives your agent the field names and data types it needs to write content that fits your site. You'll see how it maps these structures below.

The results of the inspection.

Where your data lands.

The AI translates your Umbraco configuration into actionable knowledge.

SCHEMA

Accurate field mapping

The AI identifies every property name and data type in your Umbraco setup. It uses this to prevent errors when generating content.

VALIDATION

Schema-compliant drafts

Your agent compares its generated text against your document types. This ensures the output matches your required structure.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The AI flags if a field doesn't match your expectations. You decide if the content is ready to be saved to Umbraco.

SYNC

Structural awareness

The AI stays updated on your document types. If you add a new field in Umbraco, your agent sees it immediately.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your content requirements and your Umbraco backend.

  1. Fetch schemas

    The agent pulls the complete list of available document types from your Umbraco site.

    list_document_types

  2. Analyze properties

    It looks at the specific fields, aliases, and types defined within those document types.

    list_document_types

  3. Map content

    The AI prepares a plan to fill your specific fields using the gathered schema data.

    list_document_types

  4. Verify structure

    The agent checks its work against the retrieved document type definitions to ensure a perfect match.

  • List all document types in my Umbraco instance so I can see the available schemas.

  • Look at the [Document Type Name] schema and tell me what fields are required.

  • Check the [Document Type Name] properties to see if a field for [Field Name] exists.

  • Based on the [Document Type Name] structure, draft a content entry that fits all required fields.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my Umbraco document types?

    No. The AI can only read the existing document types to understand your schema. It cannot modify your Umbraco configuration.

  • 02

    Will the AI automatically create new content in Umbraco?

    No. The AI only reads the schemas to ensure content is prepared correctly. You must manually trigger any content creation or saving actions.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which fields are mandatory?

    It reads the document type definitions provided by the list_document_types tool to identify required properties.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my actual content or just the structure?

    This specific task focuses on the document types, meaning the AI sees the schema and field definitions, not the content stored within them.

  • 05

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
