Content migration through MCP

@skttl I have been playing around with this my self.

First thing I tried is getting data out of an existing Umbraco installation and just save it as XML or JSON on disk.

Got al lot of different results.

  • Not exporting all items I requested.
  • Structure of export files was different each time.
  • Sometimes properties were missing (for example from compositions). Even if I told it to export those properties
  • Different language models produce different results.

After a while I gave up. I think you will need to define a lot of clear rules.

In the time I invested in this, is about the same time I would need to program this myself.
If I find sometime I will look at creating my own MCP server for this specific task.
