Luke Brown: A practical and emotional journey through the Umbraco MCP server
After extensive hands-on use of the Umbraco MCP Server in real-world projects, Luke will share practical examples of how it has significantly accelerated day-to-day development and content tasks.
The session begins with a clear introduction to what MCP servers are, how the Umbraco MCP Server works, and just how easy it is to set up—connecting an Umbraco instance to the LLM of your choice so AI can interact directly with your CMS.
From transforming front-end code into a fully working, editable Umbraco site without writing any Umbraco code, to rapidly improving on-page SEO, testing front-end content across multiple scenarios, managing users, and bulk-cleaning unwanted content, Luke will demonstrate a wide range of real examples that highlight the power and potential of the Umbraco MCP Server.
Along the way, he’ll also share the very human side of the experience—moments of delight, astonishment, confusion, frustration, and surprise—as the AI completes tasks in ways that challenge expectations and workflows.
Who Should Attend:
This talk is aimed at the entire Umbraco community, including project managers, content editors, developers, and testers.
Why It's Worth Attending:
If you’ve been hearing about AI and wondering how it fits into real Umbraco projects, this talk will give you a grounded, honest perspective. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of what MCP servers are, how they can be applied today, and where they genuinely add value—through practical examples and real lessons learned.
Beyond the talk itself, Umbraco meetups are a great opportunity to connect with the local community. Whether you’re looking to swap ideas, get unstuck on a tricky problem, discover new tools, or simply meet other people working with Umbraco, these events offer a friendly, welcoming space to learn and share experiences. You’ll leave not just with new knowledge, but new connections and fresh perspectives from people facing the same challenges.
