Frequently asked questions
How do I see the latest messages in my rooms?
Use the sync_client tool. It synchronizes your local state with the homeserver, retrieving all new events, messages, and room state changes since your last sync.
Can I search for people on other Matrix servers?
Yes, the search_user_directory tool allows you to search the directory available to your homeserver, helping you find users by their display name or Matrix ID.
Is it possible to manage room settings like the topic or name?
Absolutely. Use set_room_state to update room metadata. You can change the room name, topic, or other state events by providing the correct event_type and body.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
