What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • stream_get_app

    Fetch the Stream app's settings and configured channel types. Good first call to confirm credentials and discover available channel types. GET /api/v2/app.

  • stream_query_channels

    List/filter channels by a Stream query filter. e.g. filter {"type":"messaging"} or {"members":{"$in":["user-1"]}}. Returns channels with recent state. POST /api/v2/chat/channels.

  • stream_get_channel

    Fetch a single channel's state (config, members) and its most recent messages. Note: uses Stream's get-or-create endpoint — for an existing channel it reads; if the type/id does not exist it may be created empty. POST /api/v2/chat/channels/{type}/{id}/query.

  • stream_search_messages

    Search messages across channels. Scope with a channel filter (filter, e.g. {"type":"messaging"}) plus EITHER a full-text `query` OR a `message_filter` object (e.g. {"text":{"$q":"refund"}}). GET /api/v2/chat/search.

  • stream_get_message

    Fetch a single message by its id. GET /api/v2/chat/messages/{id}.

  • stream_get_replies

    Fetch the reply messages in a thread, given the parent message id. GET /api/v2/chat/messages/{parent_id}/replies.

  • stream_get_reactions

    List the reactions on a message. GET /api/v2/chat/messages/{id}/reactions.

  • stream_query_members

    List/filter the members of one channel. Requires the channel type + id. Optional member filter, e.g. {"name":{"$autocomplete":"jo"}}. GET /api/v2/chat/members.

  • stream_query_users

    List/filter users in the app. e.g. filter {"role":{"$eq":"admin"}} or {"id":{"$in":["u1"]}}. GET /api/v2/users.

  • stream_query_threads

    List threads (messages with replies). Server-side calls should pass a user_id to scope thread read-state to that user. POST /api/v2/chat/threads.

  • stream_get_unread_counts

    Fetch total and per-channel unread message/mention counts for one user. GET /api/v2/chat/unread.

  • stream_send_message

    ⚠️ WRITE: post a new message to a channel, attributed to user_id (must be an existing user in the app). POST /api/v2/chat/channels/{type}/{id}/message.

  • stream_send_reaction

    ⚠️ WRITE: add a reaction (e.g. "like", "love") to a message, attributed to user_id (must be an existing user). POST /api/v2/chat/messages/{id}/reaction.

Common questions

Is Stream MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.35.3) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Vexa, emailmd, MCP WhatsApp Cloud

Stream MCP by usefulapi

Bring your Stream Chat app into your AI workflow — query channels, search messages, and post replies from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Hosted, no local install — connect with your Stream API key + secret.

Live endpoint: https://stream.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/stream

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://stream.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http stream https://stream.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "stream": { "url": "https://stream.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Stream credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/stream/

On first connect you'll paste your Stream API key and secret. It's validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you.
