Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Umbraco content types (doctypes) must be understood before creating content — query available doctypes first
- ⚠ Content publishing requires explicit publish command after creation/update — drafts are not published automatically
- ⚠ Umbraco API versioning: v1 and Management API differ — check which version MCP targets
- ⚠ Media handling (file uploads) via MCP may require additional configuration
- ⚠ OAuth2 token management: implement token refresh for long-running agent workflows
- ⚠ Umbraco version differences (v9, v10, v13) affect API availability — verify compatibility
