Highlights from the Umbraco 17 Release

Umbraco version 17 includes several major improvements that make it a compelling upgrade for most teams:

Umbraco MCP Server

A new integration layer to enable content editors to report on, manage, create, and update content and media through AI chat interfaces like ChatGPT and Claude. This allows for bulk operations and reporting where AI can reason and help editors understand their content at a new level.

Enhanced caching configuration

The new caching layer allows for more fine-grained configuration. Instead of simply caching all the content, now it can cache only the most used content for faster startup times and better performance for sites with lots of content.

A fully rebuilt back-office

The new back-office UI is powered by standard JavaScript Web Components, delivering better performance, faster load times, and a more modern foundation for custom extensions.
