Push build alerts directly from Cursor

The `chat_post_message` tool sends instant build statuses or deploy notifications to your team channels directly from the editor. This MCP Server triggers updates when a test suite finishes or a compilation fails. It keeps your team in the loop while you stay focused on code. If you prefer targeting specific rooms by their database keys, `chat_send_message` delivers the payload to the exact room ID. It bypasses name resolution completely. This ensures high-priority alerts land in the right incident channel every time.

Pull channel info into your coding environment

The `get_channel_info` tool retrieves metadata for any specific channel to help your agent understand who is in the loop. It pairs with `list_public_channels` so your IDE can search the workspace catalog. You get instant context without leaving your active file. When you need to ping a specific teammate about a code review, `get_user_info` pulls their profile details. The agent reads this metadata to verify usernames before drafting a mention. It prevents broken pings on busy channels.

Manage sent messages using this MCP Server

The `chat_update_message` tool edits existing text in active threads when build logs or deployment statuses change. Instead of spamming a channel with new notifications, your agent updates a single message with the latest progress. It keeps your chat history clean. If an automated alert becomes obsolete, `chat_delete_message` removes the post using the room and message IDs. This helps you clean up temporary debug alerts automatically. Your channels stay clear of noise.
