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.

Location: Bracken Workspace Plus, Calls Wharf, 2 The Calls, Leeds, LS2 7JU

Agenda: 18:30 - Open for Mingling + Pizza 19:00 - Talk: A practical and emotional journey through the Umbraco MCP server 19:45 - Open Social + Refreshments

Kalder alle Umbraco entusiaster i Aarhus og omegn! Vi mødes til en hans-on, afslappende hackathon, hvor vi bygger med og lærer om Umbraco's AI og hvordan vi kan bruge AI til at bygge Umbraco. Om du er AI expert eller bare nysggerig, så er du velkommen :-)

Eftermiddagen vil gå med at bygge en "AI-Powered" pakke til Umbraco. Du kan bruge AI som en sparringspartner, for at gå fra idé til prototype. Men det er op til dig, hvordan du ønsker at arbejde og udforske AI i denne sammenhæng.

Der vil være eksperter fra Umbraco HQ til stede fysisk samt på en Discord kanal igennem eventet, som man kan spare med og få hjælp af, hvis man sidder fast.

Det er Emma Burstow og Sebastiaan Janssen, der vil stå for at føre os sikkert igennem dagens program.

Denne hackathon er en god mulighed, for at få indsigt og lære nyt i fælleskab med andre Umbraco community members og Umbraco HQ. Hvem ved, måske kan din idé til en pakke, ligefrem ende med at vinde en Umbraco Awards til CodeGarden?

OBS! Husk at medbringe din egen laptop, lader og selvfølgelig din nysgerrighed og et par idéer til en pakke.

Der vil være lidt forplejning i løbet af eventet i form af vand, kaffe, sodavand, snacks og lidt aftensmad.
