How to Use the Twist MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I list all available workspaces using Twist and Windsurf?

Just call the listworkspaces tool. It returns a list of bounded Workspaces that are driving async teams. This helps you figure out which large team structure to target next.

Q: What if I need to update an old thread? Does Windsurf support this with Twist?

Yep, updatethread handles it. You just provide the existing threadid, and you can rewrite either the title or the content of that whole discussion without having to start over.

Q: Can I list users within a specific workspace using Twist and Windsurf?

Absolutely. The listworkspaceusers tool lets your agent pull a roster of every member in a given Workspace. It’s useful for knowing who needs to be looped into a new thread.

Q: If I need to send a private message, is it possible with Twist and Windsurf?

Yes, senddirectmessage handles that. You give it the specific conversation ID and your content, and your agent sends it right away. It’s perfect for quick check-ins.

Manage your team’s async flow, autonomously, right inside Windsurf.

Perplexity

Map out entire workspaces.

You can start by listing all major hubs using `list_workspaces`. Once you know the boundaries, you check which specific channels are active with `list_channels` (requiring a `workspace_id`). This lets your agent understand the full scope of the collaboration structure before acting.

Handle threaded discussions.

Need to jump into an existing chat? You can list all threads in a channel using `list_threads` and then reply directly with `create_comment`, providing both the `thread_id` and your message. If you need to adjust the discussion's focus, `update_thread` lets you change the title or content of that specific thread.

Manage private conversations.

For quick chats outside a public channel, use `list_direct_messages` with a `conversation_id`. You can send messages privately using `send_direct_message`, or modify a message you already sent via `update_direct_message`. This whole MCP Server gives your AI client total control over DMs.
