Frequently asked questions
Can the AI send messages to a specific channel?
Yes, just mention the channel name or ID, and the AI will post the message directly on your behalf.
How do I fetch the latest updates from my team?
You can ask the agent to summarize recent activity in a specific project or channel.
Does it support reading project task boards?
Yes, the agent can list tasks, check assignees, and verify current statuses in your Mela projects.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Mela tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
