About Flock MCP Server
Connect your Flock bot to any AI agent and take full control of your team communication, private groups, and organizational roster through natural conversation.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Flock tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
What you can do
- Rich Messaging Orchestration — Provision massively fast payloads strictly into Flock chats, utilizing `
to render rich enterprise attachments and formatted layouts natively - Public Channel Discovery — Enumerate explicitly attached public channels and execute bulk iterations to capture global namespaces and routing configurations synchronously
- Private Group Management — Identify bounded private groups and retrieve precise physical definitions detailing exactly how hidden groups operate within your enterprise
- Organizational Roster Auditing — Discovers global identity blocks mapping direct @` aliases to absolute string UUIDs to solve accurate routing for the entire company
- Identity Metadata Retrieval — Perform structural extraction of profile metadata linked to Flock users, resolving time zones and LDAP/SSO properties securely
- Chat Log Ingestion — Pull chronological asynchronous logs from any room, extracting raw JSON objects mapping historical strings natively from chat fetchers
- Membership Oversight — Audit IAM boundaries and identify explicit active UUIDs directly attached to channels or groups to verify intended audiences flawlessly
The Flock MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cline in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
