Publish updates directly to Beekeeper streams

This Beekeeper MCP Server exposes the `create_post` tool to let Claude Desktop publish updates directly to your team's communication streams. You don't need to open the web app just to share an announcement. Your agent handles the formatting and pushes it live instantly. Your agent can also run `list_streams` and `list_posts` to check existing channels before writing. This keeps your broadcasts organized and prevents duplicate announcements from cluttering up the feed.

Send direct messages and check history inside Claude Desktop

The `send_message` tool lets Claude Desktop send direct, private messages to any frontline worker on your team. You can ask your agent to draft a personalized note, verify the recipient, and send it without leaving your chat window. To keep conversations coherent, the agent uses `list_messages` to read previous exchanges first. This ensures you never send out-of-context replies or repeat information your team already received.

Look up employee profiles and groups with this MCP Server

The `search_users` and `list_users` tools give your agent complete visibility into your frontline directory. When you need to find someone, your agent queries the directory to fetch active accounts instantly. You can also use `list_groups` and `get_user` to map out team structures or pull specific profiles. This makes managing permissions and target audiences straightforward during active operations.
