Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 10 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Sifting through thousands of messages shouldn't take half an hour.
Right now, finding a single decision point means opening the main chat app. You check the general channel feed, scroll past announcements and unrelated side chatter, hunt down the right thread ID, and then manually read through dozens of replies to figure out what was actually agreed upon.
With this MCP server, you just ask your agent: 'What did we decide on the budget last week?' The agent runs `list_threads` and pulls only the necessary discussion into a clean summary. You get the answer instantly.
Twist MCP Server makes managing conversation history simple.
Previously, if you wanted to correct an error in a direct message or make a topic clearer, you were stuck. You had to manually re-write the entire thread or email it separately, losing the context of the original conversation flow and making everyone confused about what changed.
Now, use `update_direct_message` to fix typos right where they were sent, or run `update_thread` to rename a confusing topic. The conversation history stays accurate, but the information is always current.
What you can do with this MCP connector
You gotta connect your team’s chat hub—Twist—to your AI agent using this server. It lets you manage every damn thing happening in your asynchronous dialogue without ever leaving your current screen and switching context. You'll get full control over everything: the big workspaces, the specific channels, the little threads, comments, and even those private one-on-one DMs.
Finding Your Place
To figure out where everybody is talking, you start by mapping the whole setup. Use list_workspaces to get a list of all the top-level organizations running in Twist, returning their names and IDs so you know your boundaries. From there, if you need to see what smaller groups exist within that organization, run list_channels.
This pulls back every open channel ID for a given workspace, letting you map out the entire organizational structure before you even start talking.
Managing People
If you need to know who's actually in these chats—the roster of people involved—you call list_workspace_users. This tool gives you a clean list of every individual member belonging to that specific workspace. You can use those user IDs later when you send private messages.
Starting and Updating Discussions
When it comes to the actual conversations, you've got options for everything. If you need to kick off a whole new discussion—maybe an announcement or a big topic everyone needs to read—you execute create_thread. You just gotta provide a title and the initial body text, and bam, you're in a brand-new async topic within any specific channel.
Existing topics need attention too. If the main idea changes, you can change it using update_thread, which lets you modify either the thread’s core content or its title by giving it that unique thread ID. Want to add more detail without starting a new chat? You use create_comment. Just feed it the specific thread ID and what you wanna say, and it posts a reply right into the existing conversation flow.
Handling Private Chat (DMs)
Private chats are handled differently. If you need to check out what's been said between two people, list_direct_messages fetches all messages from that specific one-on-one conversation using its unique ID. You can read everything there.
You wanna reply? Use send_direct_message. Just give it the conversation ID and your content, and you send a new private message to another user or group. If someone messes up something they sent, or if you send something wrong, don't sweat it; you can use update_direct_message which lets you modify the content of any direct message that already went out, all you need is its unique message ID.
By running these tools—from mapping workspaces with list_workspaces and finding user IDs with list_workspace_users, to starting a deep topic with create_thread or quietly modifying a private chat using update_direct_message—your AI agent lets you manage all of Twist’s dialogue directly. You read threads, send DMs, update titles, and post comments without ever leaving the environment.

Who Is Twist MCP For?
Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and Remote Employees. You're the person who gets frustrated switching between chat apps, documentation tools, and email just to find one key decision or thread update. This server lets you keep all your team context inside your agent.
Use create_thread to post structured markdown summaries for new feature announcements to specific channels.
Run agent commands to auto-read complex debugging or release threads, skipping massive amounts of irrelevant chat noise.
Query your direct messages with a key stakeholder using list_direct_messages to get caught up without scheduling a video call.

Real-World Use Cases
The missed decision point
A product manager needs the final outcome from a deep discussion about pricing. Instead of scrolling through 50 comments, they ask their agent to run list_threads and then summarize the 'Pricing' thread. The agent pulls all data and reports: 'The team settled on Tier B features.' They use this info immediately in an email.
Catching up with a colleague
A remote employee hasn't talked to their manager, Mark, since last week. Rather than scheduling a call, they ask the agent to check list_direct_messages for conversations with Mark. The agent reports the key points and even drafts a follow-up using send_direct_message, saving time.
Announcing new policy
The operations team needs to announce a new security protocol change across 5 departments. They instruct their agent: 'Use list_channels for the main department channels, then run create_thread in each one with the full markdown guide.' The announcement is structured and tracked.
Correcting a mistake
An engineer sends an initial debugging message to a lead but misses a crucial file ID. Later, they realize it. They prompt their agent: 'Run update_direct_message on that message.' The agent finds the exact message by ID and updates the content with the correct details.
The Tradeoffs
Manual context switching
The user has to open their web browser, navigate to Twist, find the right channel, scroll up 50 posts, and then copy a name or link. It's slow and error-prone.
→
Ask your agent directly: 'What are the active channels for the marketing department?' The agent runs list_channels and gives you the list immediately, so you don't have to click anywhere.
Trying to summarize everything
Asking the AI agent to 'Summarize every conversation I’ve ever had with Mark.' This is too broad; the agent won't know where to start.
→
Be specific. Ask: 'Use list_direct_messages for conversations with Mark and summarize his thoughts on Figma last week.' Targeting a single tool provides precise answers.
Mistaking threads for channels
The user tries to use list_channels but is actually interested in the discussion topics inside one channel.
→
You need to list conversations, not containers. Use list_threads, providing only the specific channel ID you care about.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your primary pain point is managing high volume, asynchronous team dialogue across multiple channels and DMs. You need a single pane of glass to read, write, or restructure conversations without leaving your current workflow (e.g., in an IDE or terminal).
Don't use it if you are trying to manage project tickets (use dedicated task trackers) or if your team communication is purely synchronous (i.e., live Zoom calls). This server handles the aftermath of collaboration—the documentation, the decisions, and the follow-up comments.
If you just need a simple API wrapper for sending messages without context, an alternative messaging service might suffice. But if you need to see your organizational hierarchy (list_workspaces), read specific private histories (list_direct_messages), and manage structured discussions (create_thread), this server is built for that complexity.
