# Umbraco in AI

Umbraco in AI depends on more than prompts. It depends on tools, context, and instructions working together.

This section introduces the core concepts behind AI-assisted Umbraco workflows. It covers how AI connects to Umbraco, how context shapes output quality, and how agent skills guide coding assistants toward better results.

### Why these concepts matter

Strong AI output depends on the quality of the system around it. In Umbraco, that means giving the model the right tools, the right context, and the right guidance.

When these parts work together, AI can help with content operations, schema planning, technical workflows, and developer productivity. When they do not, output becomes vague, inefficient, or incorrect.

* [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](/umbraco-in-ai/concepts/model-context-protocol.md): explains how LLMs connect to Umbraco tools, APIs, and external systems.
* [Context Engineering](/umbraco-in-ai/concepts/context-engineering.md): explains how to improve reliability by controlling what the model sees.
* [Agent Skills](/umbraco-in-ai/concepts/agent-skills.md): explains how agent skills provide reusable instructions for AI coding tools.

### What you will learn

* How AI connects to Umbraco through MCP.
* How context engineering improves relevance and reduces hallucinations.
* How agent skills help AI assistants follow current Umbraco patterns.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-in-ai/readme.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
