AFAICT, Hooks.UrgencyHooks doesn't provide a "bring the window to me"
function, but perhaps you could define your own instance of UrgencyHook. 

import Data.Maybe
import XMonad.Actions.WindowBringer
import XMonad.Hooks.UrgencyHook

data BringHook = BringHook deriving (Read, Show)
instance UrgencyHook BringHook where
    urgencyHook _ _ = withUrgents $
            flip whenJust (windows . bringWindow) . listToMaybe

then use something like

myConfig = withUrgencyHook BringHook $ defaultConf {...

pretty sure that should work. type checks in ghci anyway.
