# Sendbird MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Sendbird MCP lets you manage your entire chat ecosystem through natural conversation. You can handle user profiles, create public or private channels, and enforce community standards like blocking or muting users. It also lets you build and manage bots to automate messages. Instead of jumping between tabs in a dashboard, you just tell your agent what to do. ## Overview - **Category:** communication-messaging - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_GLhCP1UbtJs8RVu8OnnXfMs0R9ToQ8L5ELcVxWCK/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** in-app-chat, messaging-api, user-management, real-time-communication, moderation ## Description Managing a large-scale messaging platform usually involves a lot of tab fatigue. You have to jump into a dashboard to find a user, click through three menus to mute them, and then switch back to your work. It's a slow, manual process that breaks your focus. This Connector changes that by letting you treat your chat infrastructure as a conversation. You can handle the heavy lifting of user management, like provisioning accounts or managing access tokens, without manual data entry. If a community member starts acting up, you can handle moderation—blocking, muting, or freezing channels—instantly by just asking your agent. It also makes handling different types of conversations easier, whether you're scaling a massive public lounge or keeping private group chats organized. You can even set up and manage bots to handle repetitive tasks or send out automated notifications. Because this is hosted on the Vinkius catalog, you get a reliable way to connect your messaging backend to your favorite AI tools. It turns your agent into a real-time administrator, so you can focus on the actual community instead of the plumbing. ## Tools ### block_user Block a user globally to prevent them from interacting with the app. This is the primary way to handle repeat offenders. ### list_open_channels List all currently active open channels in your app. This gives you a quick overview of your public spaces. ### create_bot Create a new bot to handle automated interactions or system messages.

Found users: 'admin_01', 'support_agent_a', 'user_992'... Would you like to see the profile details for any of them? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Create a new open channel called 'Global-Lounge' for our community. ``` **Response:** ``` Channel 'Global-Lounge' has been created successfully. The channel URL is 'sendbird_open_channel_552'. You can now start directing users to this public space. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Freeze the channel at URL 'sendbird_open_channel_123' to stop all messaging. ``` **Response:** ``` The channel 'sendbird_open_channel_123' is now frozen. Users will be unable to send new messages until it is unfrozen. ``` ## Capabilities ### Block problematic users Use the block_user tool to prevent specific accounts from interacting with your app. ### Create public chat rooms Use create_open_channel to spin up public spaces for large audiences. ### Manage user accounts Use create_user and list_users to handle your entire user base without a dashboard. ### Freeze active channels Use freeze_channel to instantly stop all messaging in a specific room. ### Automate bot messages Use create_bot and send_bot_message to handle repetitive interactions automatically. ### Invite group members Use invite_group_channel to pull specific users into private conversations. ## Use Cases ### Rapid Community Moderation A community manager sees a spammer and tells the agent to 'mute the user who is spamming the lounge' using mute_user. ### Automated Bot Deployment A developer asks the agent to 'create a new bot and send a welcome message to the main channel' to automate onboarding. ### Channel Cleanup and Audit A support lead tells the agent to 'list all open channels and delete the ones with no activity' to clean up the app. ### Private Group Management A manager asks the agent to 'create a group channel for the VIP team and invite 5 users' to organize private chats. ## Benefits - Instant Moderation: Use ban_user or mute_user to handle community issues without leaving your chat window or dashboard. - Faster Scaling: Create open channels or group channels instantly to expand your community reach with just one command. - Automated Workflows: Use create_bot and send_bot_message to handle repetitive user interactions and system alerts automatically. - Streamlined User Onboarding: Provision new accounts with create_user and manage profiles with list_users to save time on setup. - Real-time Control: Freeze channels or update channel metadata using freeze_channel and update_open_channel to manage live events. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a hands-free way to manage your chat infrastructure using only natural language. 1.
