Learning Sitecore - Tips and Tricks

Two practical paths: Option A (Marketer MCP, no code) and Option B (Community MCP server, extensible). We’ll go from a natural‑language prompt to a published landing page. Previously on the blog This article continues my earlier post, MCP‑Powered AI Development Workflow in Sitecore XM Cloud — a quick conceptual primer. Why MCP (in one paragraph) MCP → Safe, typed tools Model Context Protocol (MCP) turns natural language into governed, typed tool calls. In Sitecore, Marketer MCP exposes tools like create page , add component , and upload asset that map to the Agent API so agents can take real actions with guardrails and auditing. The agentic workflow: how it works When you chat with Claude (which is already connected to your Marketer MCP), Claude acts as an AI agent — it calls the Sitecore APIs on your behalf, fetches IDs, makes decisions, and creates items without you needing to open Sitecore at all. Architecture Overview Prer...

Artificial Intelligence is transforming how digital experiences are built, managed, and optimized. With the arrival of SitecoreAI , Sitecore has introduced a new AI‑first architecture that seamlessly connects content, data, personalization, and automation. As part of this evolution, one technology stands out for developers and architects: MCP — Model Context Protocol . MCP is not just another API layer. It represents a safe, structured, and extensible bridge between AI agents and enterprise systems like Sitecore XM Cloud , enabling AI to collaborate with human developers in meaningful, controlled ways. In this article, we explore what MCP is, why it matters, and how it enables a groundbreaking AI‑powered development workflow in XM Cloud. What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)? MCP is an open protocol designed to expose context , models , and safe actions to AI systems in a governed and controlled way. According to Sitecore’s architectural guidance, MCP acts as an integration fabric b...

Triggers: In Sitecore Content Hub, triggers are events or conditions that initiate automated actions. These can include changes to assets, metadata updates, or other predefined criteria. Triggers serve as the starting point for automation workflows, reacting to specific events within the system. Actions: Actions in Sitecore Content Hub are the executable steps triggered by an event or condition. These steps can be a variety of operations, such as updating metadata, moving assets, or triggering notifications. Content Hub provides a set of predefined actions, and users can also create custom actions to suit their specific workflow requirements. Scripts: Scripts enhance the automation capabilities in Sitecore Content Hub. Users can write scripts using languages like JavaScript, C# to define custom logic for triggers and actions. These scripts allow for more flexibility and can be leveraged to perform complex operations, extending the automation capabilities beyond what predefined actions ...
