View Team Channels and Threads

To see what teams are talking about, you run `list_channels(workspace_id)`. This makes sure every developer on the team knows which workspace channels exist. It keeps everyone on the same page. For detailed conversation history, `list_threads(channel_id)` shows all threads within a channel. Copilot Chat uses this data to give context when you write code related to these discussions.

Manage Private Team Comms

Need to talk to one person? You use `send_direct_message(conversation_id, content)` to send a private message. This keeps sensitive conversations away from public view. If that DM contains wrong info, the agent can fix it using `update_direct_message(message_id)`. It’s vital for maintaining data integrity across your team's work.

Control Discussion Flow

To start a new discussion point that needs tracking, you use `create_thread(channel_id, title, initial_content)`. This formalizes an async conversation for the whole engineering team. If the scope of the thread changes, call `update_thread(thread_id)` to update either the title or the content. The MCP Server ensures this shared knowledge base is always current.
