We’re proud to be one of New Zealand’s leading Umbraco partners - and today, we’re excited to share an update that we think marks a huge step forward for every Umbraco user. Umbraco has recently announced the Umbraco MCP Server, a brand-new feature that opens the door for AI-powered tools to work directly inside your CMS in a safe, secure, and structured way.
In short: your CMS just got a lot smarter and is keeping up with other leaders in market.
What does this new feature mean?
Until now, using tools like ChatGPT or Copilot alongside your website meant switching between platforms or relying on plugins. With the new MCP Server, Umbraco is introducing a way for AI tools to collaborate directly with your site – helping with speed of content updates, product listings, page improvements and more.
Think of it like giving your CMS a helpful digital assistant. You’ll still be in full control, but now you can use natural language prompts to:
- Create and edit your content faster
- Optimise product details or listings
- Generate or improve page copy
- Get insights or recommendations, directly in Umbraco
Why is this a big deal?
We believe this update is one of the most important milestones in Umbraco’s evolution. Here’s why:
- It saves serious time - repetitive CMS updates can now be automated or assisted by AI.
- It's secure - everything runs through Umbraco’s existing permissions, so only approved users (and actions) are allowed.
- It's future-ready - the MCP Server is built to integrate with the latest AI tools and open standards, ensuring your website stays ahead of the curve.
- It maintains Umbraco's market competitiveness - delivering innovative services and features we see in other market leading CMS.
If your website runs on Umbraco, this is the perfect time to start thinking about how AI could support your digital goals - whether that’s creating content faster, managing large product catalogues, or simplifying internal processes. Talk to your Terabyte Account Manager about scheduling a quick strategy call, and we can walk you through what this update means for your specific set up, and how we can make the most of it.
The release of Umbraco’s MCP Server represents more than just another feature – it’s a step towards truly intelligent, collaborative digital platforms. Best part of this all? We’re here to make sure you’re ready to take full advantage of it.
