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.
