About Rocket.Chat MCP Server
Connect your conversational assistant directly to Rocket.Chat, the open-source team communication platform. This integration transforms your AI into an active participant capable of chatting, sending notifications to channels, identifying active users, and auditing chat room data organically within your workspace.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Rocket.Chat 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
- Communicate Actively — Instruct your assistant to post messages into public channels or private direct messages (
chat_post_message,chat_send_message). Need to fix a typo? The AI can seamlessly edit (chat_update_message) or delete previous messages (chat_delete_message). - Explore Channels & Groups — Give your assistant vision over public discussions (
list_public_channels) or private channels you belong to (list_private_groups). You can then extract deep information about specific rooms usingget_channel_info. - Audit Users in the Network — Scan the entire user directory (
list_users) to locate team members and review their roles and connection status directly (get_user_info).
