What is the GetStream MCP Server?
Connect GetStream to your AI agent to orchestrate complex social architectures and activity feeds using natural language.
What you can do
- Feed Management — Retrieve, add, or remove activities from specific feed slugs and user timelines using
get_feedandadd_activity_to_feed. - Activity Orchestration — Update activity metadata or perform partial updates to specific fields via
partial_update_activitywithout rewriting entire objects. - Social Graph — Manage follower relationships, list who follows a feed, and perform follow operations using
follow_feedandlist_feed_followers. - Collections & Files — Handle collection objects and manage file/image uploads for rich media experiences.
- Open Graph — Retrieve Open Graph data for URLs to enrich activity content automatically.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Stream API Key and JWT Token
- Start managing your social infrastructure from any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Product Managers — monitor feed health and activity patterns without technical dashboards.
- Developers — test feed logic and activity updates directly from the IDE to speed up social feature integration.
- Community Managers — manage social graphs and moderate feed content through natural conversation.

Frequently asked questions
Can I retrieve specific activities using their unique identifiers?
Yes. Use the get_activities tool by providing a comma-separated list of activity IDs or foreign IDs to fetch their full metadata.
How do I check which feeds a specific user is currently following?
You can use the list_feed_follows tool. Provide the feed slug and user ID to get a comprehensive list of all target feeds being followed.
Is it possible to update only a single field in an activity without sending the whole object?
Absolutely. The partial_update_activity tool allows you to set or unset specific fields on an activity using a JSON payload, preserving the rest of the data.
How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query GetStream tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
