A GDS-style service blueprint / service-design engine — domain model, calculation engine, state-machine engine, and a compiled visual editor web component. Framework-agnostic: no Umbraco, no ASP.NET Core MVC, no hosting assumptions baked in.
Wayfinder was extracted from Umbraco Prism,
which is now a consumer of these packages rather than their owner. A host application —
Umbraco-based or otherwise — layers its own tenancy, auth, and rendering opinions on top.
Wayfinder.Umbraco is the Umbraco-hosted
implementation Prism itself uses.
See it running
Wayfinder.AppHost + Wayfinder.ReferenceApp is a small, self-contained .NET Aspire host in
this repo — every package wired together, real GOV.UK Design System rendering, a demo login,
and a seeded "apply for a licence to hold a juggling event" journey. It's the fastest way to
see what a working Wayfinder host actually looks like, and exactly how little wiring a real
host (like Wayfinder.Umbraco) collapses into. Run it with
dotnet run --project Wayfinder.AppHost, or the "C#: Aspire (Full Stack)" launch config in
VS Code. See docs/guides/reference-app.md for what it
implements, how the demo blueprint is seeded from JSON and only saved in memory, and what a
real host does differently.
Packages
| Package | Purpose |
|---|---|
Wayfinder |
Core domain models (ServiceBlueprint, ServiceRequestResponseEnvelope, etc.), the declarative calculation engine, and the sanitizer interface. Zero framework dependency. |
Wayfinder.Engine |
The service blueprint state-machine engine — queue routing, gateway evaluation, request persistence. |
Wayfinder.Engine.Api |
REST toolkit (MapServiceBlueprintAuthoringApi()) exposing service blueprint authoring — list/read/validate/save/simulate — over HTTP for any ASP.NET Core host. |
Wayfinder.Engine.Mcp |
MCP-over-HTTP toolkit (MapServiceBlueprintAuthoringMcp()) — the same authoring surface as MCP tools for AI agents. |
The service blueprint model
A ServiceBlueprint describes a journey as queues (named work queues), stages (each
owning its own routes), and gateways (first-class Split/Join routing nodes — a stage's
routes must always target a gateway, never another stage directly). See
docs/guides/reference-service-blueprint-contract.md
for the full authoring schema, and
docs/guides/calculation-language.md for the
declarative expression language used in calculations and showWhen.
AI-ready authoring
Service blueprint authoring is exposed to AI agents (Claude Code or any MCP client) the
same way it's exposed to a human editor: as a toolkit a host app wires into its own
pipeline. Wayfinder.Engine.Api and Wayfinder.Engine.Mcp map the same
list/read/validate/save/simulate operations as REST and MCP-over-HTTP respectively, both
calling straight into a host's live Wayfinder.Engine in-process. See
docs/guides/ai-service-blueprint-authoring.md.

| Package | Downloads |
|---|---|
|
UmbracoPrism
Multi-tenancy for Umbraco (v17+) with dynamic branding and stateless identity. |
|
|
Wayfinder.Engine.Mcp
ASP.NET Core MCP-over-HTTP endpoint mapping that exposes Umbraco Prism service blueprint authoring (list/read/validate/save/simulate) as MCP tools — a single MapPrismServiceBlueprintAuthoringMcp() call any host adds to its own pipeline, alongside MapPrismServiceBlueprintAuthoringApi(), inheriting its own auth. |
|
|
Wayfinder.Engine.Api
ASP.NET Core minimal-API endpoint mapping that exposes Umbraco Prism service blueprint authoring (list/read/validate/save/simulate) as HTTP endpoints — a single MapPrismServiceBlueprintAuthoringApi() call any host adds to its own pipeline, inheriting its own auth. |
|
|
Wayfinder.Umbraco
Umbraco-hosted implementation of Wayfinder service design — a DB-backed, uSync-portable service blueprint store, a backoffice authoring API, and two Block Grid-composable building blocks (a citizen-facing stage journey and a caseworker-facing worklist) for any Umbraco v17+ site. An authoritative in-process engine, real multi-queue support, no multi-tenancy or auth opinions of its own; a host wires its own identity/tenant resolution on top. |
|
|
Wayfinder.Engine.Worklist
A default, optional caseworker worklist surface — server-rendered GOV.UK markup for the filter/sort/search/paginated list (see docs/guides/queue-worklist-filtering.md), an item review page, advance, and per-cursor pickup/putback (see docs/guides/work-allocation.md). A host wires it up with AddWorklist()/MapWorklist(prefix), supplying only tenant/actor resolution and its own page chrome — or ignores this package entirely and hand-writes the same routes itself, as Wayfinder.ReferenceApp originally did. |
