umb-cms-dev-cli

umb-cms-dev-cli is a skill for Claude Code from umbraco/Umbraco-CMS-MCP-Dev. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,465 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line guide for running and debugging the Umbraco MCP server. It explains how to list and call tools, inspect tool schemas, generate context documentation, and check configuration; Umbraco is a content management system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect available tools, call a tool for testing, generate context files, configure authentication, enable filtering or read-only behavior, and investigate CLI problems.
Why use it?
It provides direct checks for whether the server is configured and behaving as expected. It also explains how authentication settings are supplied without exposing secrets in commands.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

umb-cms-dev-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Umbraco MCP Server — CLI Guide

This MCP server runs as a CLI tool. The CLI handles authentication and configuration, then exposes tools that talk directly to the Umbraco Management API.

Detecting the CLI Command

Determine the CLI command in a single check:

# One command to detect context — check for local build AND .env together
ls dist/index.js .env 2>/dev/null
  • If dist/index.js exists: use node dist/index.js
  • Otherwise: use npx @umbraco-cms/mcp-dev@<site major> (e.g. @18 for an Umbraco 18.x site) rather than @latest

All examples below use <cli> as a placeholder — substitute the correct command.

Prefer pinning to the target site's Umbraco major over @latest. Tool schemas track the Management API of the CLI's own major, so a CLI major ahead of (or behind) the site's major can fail confusingly mid-task on a shape mismatch. The CLI checks the connected server's version on startup and prints a warning to stderr when the majors differ, but pinning the version up front avoids the mismatch entirely.

Quick Reference

# List all tools
<cli> --list-tools

# Describe a specific tool's schema
<cli> --describe-tool <tool-name>

# Call a tool directly (requires auth via .env)
<cli> --call <tool-name> --call-args '{"key":"value"}'

# Generate context documentation
<cli> --generate-context > CONTEXT.md

# Debug resolved configuration
<cli> --debug-config

Authentication

Never pass secrets as CLI arguments. Use a .env file.

Env Var Required Description
UMBRACO_CLIENT_ID Yes OAuth client ID from Umbraco API user
UMBRACO_CLIENT_SECRET Yes OAuth client secret
UMBRACO_BASE_URL Yes Umbraco instance URL

Create a .env file:

UMBRACO_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
UMBRACO_CLIENT_SECRET=your-secret
UMBRACO_BASE_URL=https://localhost:44391

Introspection commands (--list-tools, --describe-tool, --generate-context) do not require auth.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
