From Clicks to Commands: AI for Editors, Developers, and Everyone Else
What happens when you give AI access to Umbraco’s full set of tools? With the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Umbraco, we’re seeing AI chain tasks together in powerful and often unexpected ways—like handing it a box of LEGO bricks and watching it build something surprisingly intelligent.
In this session, we’ll show you how MCP enables AI agents to interact directly with Umbraco’s Management API, uncovering new, creative ways to automate tasks that would usually require tedious manual work in the UI. From content creation to bulk updates and beyond, the possibilities are endless—and the results are eye-opening.
We’ll also give you a peek behind the curtain, showing you how the system is built and how easy it is to integrate Umbraco MCP with Claude, no deep AI expertise required.
How We Integrated an AI Agent to Talk to Umbraco
Join us on a journey through the creation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Umbraco using TypeScript. What began with manual coding and schema discovery evolved into a streamlined, AI-accelerated workflow using Orval, Zod, and Cursor’s IDE with custom AI agent rules.
We’ll walk through how we moved from a basic prototype to a fully featured MCP server—one that mirrors the capabilities of the Umbraco backoffice without compromising security. Along the way, we’ll share how integrating AI into our development process reshaped our approach, and we’ll even demonstrate what an agent can do once it’s empowered with structured access to Umbraco.
What you should be testing in Umbraco?
Join me in exploring the world of unit testing in Umbraco. Discover how to effectively implement server-side testing to ensure the stability and reliability of your website. You'll learn about the key areas where testing can make a significant impact and how to identify those areas. Did you know that Umbraco provides a convenient Nuget package for integration testing? This session will teach you how to use this package and other essential tips, tricks and tools to improve your unit testing process.
Fun with flags
Looking at Microsoft.FeatureManagment and the many ways it can be used all without reducing your editors experience.
Feature management provides you with the power to enable/disable almost anything within your project, with the addition of feature filters you can even A/B test and create personalized experiences based on practically anything.
We will we go through how this is setup and run through some of the use cases, along with a little package magic to make sure your editor is never bothered by properties that do nothing.
Vibe Coder to AI Engineer
From Designs to Umbraco (and Everything In Between)
A refreshingly honest journey through AI-assisted development — going from designs to a fully CMS-managed Umbraco experience using Claude Code and context engineering. Starting as a vibe coder throwing prompts and hoping for the best, and ending up with a real workflow that actually delivers.
What You'll See
Through real recordings and demonstrations:
Building Umbraco document types, compositions, and content with Claude Code
Context engineering techniques — planning, memories, and knowing when the AI needs a firm talking-to
MCP servers and sub-agents (when they cooperate)
Custom commands and skills that turned hours of work into minutes
The Real Talk
This isn't a highlight reel. Expect moments where Claude gets creative in unexpected ways, prompts go sideways, and the classic "it works on my machine" makes an appearance. That's where the real learning happens.
Perfect for developers ready to embrace AI workflows — complete with the beautiful chaos.
