Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: UMBRACO_INCLUDE_TOOL_COLLECTIONS (Comma-separated list of tool collections to include (e.g., document,media,document-type)), UMBRACO_READONLY (Enable readonly mode to disable all write operations (create, update, delete). Only read and query tools remain available).

Umbraco Cms MCP Dev — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Umbraco Cms MCP Dev?

Umbraco Cms MCP Dev runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @umbraco-cms/mcp-dev was installed 1 362 times last week.

How do I connect Umbraco Cms MCP Dev?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @umbraco-cms/mcp-dev straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Umbraco Cms MCP Dev?

The npm package @umbraco-cms/mcp-dev was installed 1 362 times in the last week. Week over week that is +75%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Umbraco Cms MCP Dev open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 39 stars on GitHub and 12 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
