What is the Flock MCP Server?
Connect your Flock bot to any AI agent and take full control of your team communication, private groups, and organizational roster through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Rich Messaging Orchestration — Provision massively fast payloads strictly into Flock chats, utilizing `` to render rich enterprise attachments and formatted layouts natively
- Public Channel Discovery — Enumerate explicitly attached public channels and execute bulk iterations to capture global namespaces and routing configurations synchronously
- Private Group Management — Identify bounded private groups and retrieve precise physical definitions detailing exactly how hidden groups operate within your enterprise
- Organizational Roster Auditing — Discovers global identity blocks mapping direct
@aliases to absolute string UUIDs to solve accurate routing for the entire company - Identity Metadata Retrieval — Perform structural extraction of profile metadata linked to Flock users, resolving time zones and LDAP/SSO properties securely
- Chat Log Ingestion — Pull chronological asynchronous logs from any room, extracting raw JSON objects mapping historical strings natively from chat fetchers
- Membership Oversight — Audit IAM boundaries and identify explicit active UUIDs directly attached to channels or groups to verify intended audiences flawlessly
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Flock Bot Token (found in the Flock Developer Dashboard > My Apps > Bot Token)
- Start managing your team communication from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Team Leads & Managers — send announcements and coordinate private groups without leaving the chat interface
- Developers — test bot messaging logic and verify FlockML rendering directly from the IDE or chat
- IT Admins — audit channel memberships and verify organizational roster mappings using natural language
- Ops Teams — monitor public channels and manage private team communication in real-time

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent send formatted messages using FlockML?
Yes. Use the 'chat_send_message' tool and provide your XML string in the 'flockml' parameter. The agent will bypass standard Markdown limits to render rich enterprise attachments and layouts natively in Flock.
How do I list all members of a specific private group via chat?
Use the 'groups_list_members' tool. Provide the Group UUID. Your agent will surface the explicitly mapped profiles within that group, helping you verify sensitive message targets securely.
Can I search for a user's UUID using their '@' alias through the agent?
Absolutely. The 'roster_list_directory' tool discovers global identity blocks mapping direct aliases to absolute string UUIDs, ensuring you can route messages accurately to anyone in your company.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
