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

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 Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
