How to Use the Twist MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I list all channels programmatically using Twist and Claude Code?

You must use the listchannels tool, passing it a specific workspace ID. The output is a machine-readable list of every channel within that scope. This makes it perfect for scripting logic.

Q: What's the best way to communicate between two people using Twist and Claude Code?

You can send a message directly with senddirectmessage, giving it the conversation ID and content. You can also list conversations first using listdirectmessages if you need to verify an existing chat.

Q: Can I update a discussion thread's title or body? Does Claude Code support this?

Yes, the updatethread tool handles it. You pass in the specific threadid, and your script updates the content or title without needing manual intervention.

Q: If I need to check who is in a workspace, how do I use Twist and Claude Code?

Use the listworkspaceusers tool. It requires only the workspace ID, returning all member information for your pipeline script to consume.

Perplexity

Inventory all workspaces.

Start by identifying the boundary of your operations. Run `list_workspaces` to get a list of every active Workspace ID. This tool is crucial for any CI/CD pipeline that needs to know which team structures exist in the environment.

Build new discussion topics.

Need to kick off an async chat? Call `create_thread`, providing the target channel ID, title, and initial content. This script executes the creation of a brand-new discussion thread in the background.

Modify existing communications.

If a conversation needs fixing, you can update it programmatically. Use `update_thread` with an existing `thread_id`, or modify private messages using `update_direct_message`. This gives your script granular control over message content.
