In Umbraco, the "done" message after rebuilding the Internal Index can be misleading, as it logs completion before the actual indexing finishes, especially in large projects with over 10,000 content nodes. This can lead to visibility issues and incomplete search results. Users are advised to wait longer and verify DocumentCount for accuracy.

At Codegarden 2025, Matthew Wise and Phil Whittaker introduced the Umbraco MCP. Luuk Peters takes this one step further and integrates it with GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio. To set it up, users must install Node.js, create an Umbraco API User, and configure a .mcp.json file. This integration allows Copilot to interact with Umbraco, enhancing development efficiency.
