What is the Poe MCP Server?
Connect your Poe (Quora's AI platform) account to any AI agent and manage your chatbot empire through natural conversation. Create bots, chain AI model responses, monitor conversations, and track performance — all via API.
What you can do
- Bot Management — List, create, update, and delete API bots programmatically
- AI Model Chaining — Query any bot on Poe (GPT-4, Claude, etc.) from your bot using API v2
- Message Monitoring — View recent conversations, debug responses, and analyze user interactions
- Usage Statistics — Track message counts, unique users, response times, and error rates
- Endpoint Testing — Send test messages to verify bot connectivity and response quality
- Multi-Model Workflows — Build complex bots that combine responses from multiple AI models
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Poe API access token from creator.poe.com
- Start managing bots from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Bot Developers — Create and manage AI bots without leaving your code editor
- AI Researchers — Chain multiple AI models and compare responses programmatically
- Community Managers — Monitor bot conversations and track engagement metrics
Built-in capabilities (10)
Requires a bot name, base URL for your API endpoint, and the model name. Optionally set a system prompt and description. Create a new API bot on Poe
This action cannot be undone. All conversation history and settings for the bot will be lost. Delete a Poe API bot
Use the bot ID obtained from list_bots. Get details of a specific Poe bot
Essential for monitoring bot health, understanding user engagement, and identifying performance bottlenecks. Get usage statistics for a Poe bot
Useful for discovering which AI models and specialized bots are available for chaining in your bot workflows. List publicly available bots on Poe that your bot can query
Returns bot names, handles, models, and status. Essential first step to identify which bot to work with before querying, updating, or checking stats. List all API bots under your Poe account
Useful for monitoring what users are asking, debugging bot responses, and analyzing conversation patterns. Returns message content, timestamps, and user identifiers. List recent messages for a specific Poe bot
This allows chaining bot responses - your bot can query GPT-4, Claude, or any other bot on Poe and use the response as input. The cost is covered by the user's free message limit or subscription. Query another bot on Poe from your bot
Useful for testing endpoint connectivity and validating bot responses. The bot will process the message and return a response via its configured endpoint. Send a message to a Poe bot (simulate user interaction)
Changes take effect immediately for new conversations. Update an existing Poe bot's configuration

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Poe API access token?
Go to creator.poe.com, navigate to Settings > API, and generate an access token. This token authenticates all API requests for bot management.
What AI models can I query through Poe?
Poe has GPT-4, GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, Llama 3, and dozens of specialized bots. Use query_bot to chain responses from multiple models in your workflows.
How does bot chaining work?
Using Poe API v2, your bot can query any other bot on Poe for free. The response becomes input for your bot's processing. Costs are covered by the user's free message limit or subscription.
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.
