Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Sendbird MCP Server?
Connect your Sendbird application to any AI agent and take full control of your chat ecosystem through natural conversation.
What you can do
- User Management — Create new users, list existing ones, and manage profiles or access tokens for your chat application.
- Channel Orchestration — Create and manage Open Channels for massive public scale or Group Channels for private, distinct conversations.
- Moderation & Safety — Maintain community standards by blocking, muting, or banning users, and freezing channels during incidents.
- Automation & Bots — Create and manage bots to send automated messages and interact with users programmatically.
- Channel Lifecycle — Update channel metadata, join or leave group chats, and invite new members seamlessly.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Sendbird App ID and Master API Token
- Start managing your messaging infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more navigating complex dashboards to moderate a user or check channel status. Your AI acts as a real-time chat administrator.
Who is this for?
- Support Leads — quickly moderate users, check channel history, and manage support bots without leaving the console.
- Developers — test channel creation, user provisioning, and bot messaging directly from the code editor.
- Community Managers — oversee large open channels and enforce safety rules through simple natural language commands.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Sendbird into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Sendbird and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 18 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can I create a bot to send automated messages in a channel?
Yes! You can use the create_bot tool to register a new bot and then use send_bot_message to trigger automated interactions within your chat channels.
How do I handle disruptive users who violate community rules?
The server provides several moderation tools: mute_user to silence them, block_user to prevent interaction, and ban_user to remove them from channels entirely.
Is it possible to manage large-scale public chat rooms?
Absolutely. Use create_open_channel to build public channels that support millions of users, and list_open_channels to keep track of your active public environments.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
