Just upgraded from #umbraco 15 to 16, not sure how I feel about the new context menu styling. Feels less clear in some way. Anyone else got thoughts on it?

At Codegarden this year, the MCP integration by Phil Whittaker and Matt Wise showed just how jaw-dropping AI powered workflows can be in Umbraco.

But what if we brought that same power to Umbraco Commerce?

This is what I explore in my latest blog post https://mattbrailsford.dev/building-an-mcp-server-for-umbraco-commerce

AI can now helps manage your #Umbraco projects. At Codegarden, we launched the Umbraco MCP Server in which tools like Claude can suggest, update, and act on content within your set boundaries. Learn more: https://umbra.co/4niNzxZ

New employees? Fire drill? Ice cream? Rain? Just another day at #Umbraco HQ
