Connect a local Umbraco MCP server to your AI development environment
These guides show how to connect a local Umbraco MCP server to each host application. The examples use the Developer MCP package (@umbraco-cms/mcp-dev). If you are using a different Umbraco MCP server, replace the package name in the configuration.
Before You Start
Node.js 22+ is required. Check your version by running node -v in your terminal.
Umbraco API User — You need to create an API User in Umbraco before connecting. This user allows the MCP server to communicate securely with the Management API.
