Use CometChat with AI Coding Agents (MCP)

The CometChat MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and any other Model Context Protocol–compatible agent integrate CometChat into your app from natural-language prompts. Ask the agent to “add a chat tab where users can DM each other” and it uses the MCP to read CometChat’s docs, pick the right components for your stack, and write the integration code. The server is read-only and needs no account or API key — it surfaces CometChat’s public documentation and curated implementation recipes.

Connector URL

https://mcp.cometchat.com/mcp

Transport: HTTP with Server-Sent Events. No authentication required.

Connect from your agent

Claude (Desktop or claude.ai)

Open Settings → Connectors.
Click Add custom connector.
Name it CometChat, paste the URL https://mcp.cometchat.com/mcp, and click Add.
In a new conversation, attach CometChat from the connectors picker and prompt away.

Cursor

Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) / Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows) → Open MCP settings.
Click Add custom MCP and paste:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cometchat": {
      "url": "https://mcp.cometchat.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Click the Plugins (hammer) icon → Manage plugins → View raw config.
Paste:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cometchat": {
      "type": "sse",
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.cometchat.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Save and click Refresh.

Visual Studio Code (Copilot Agent)

Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P → MCP: Add MCP Server.
Enter:
- Server Name: CometChat
- Server URL: https://mcp.cometchat.com/mcp
- Transport: SSE
Confirm.

Example prompts

Once connected, try these in a fresh agent conversation:

“Add a chat tab where users can DM each other in my React app.”
“Let project members talk in a group chat with file sharing.”
“Add video calling between two users with a click-to-call button.”
“Set up content moderation so banned words are blocked before delivery.”
“Build a multi-tenant SaaS chat where each workspace’s users are isolated.”
“Add presence indicators and typing dots to my conversation list.”

The agent will search the docs, pull the matching implementation bundle, and write the code into your project.

What the connector exposes

Three tools (all read-only)

search_cometchat_docs

Search SDK guides, UI Kit references, REST API docs, and OpenAPI specs. Returns ranked snippets with direct links.

fetch_cometchat_doc_page

Fetch the full content of any documentation page as markdown by URL or relative path.

get_cometchat_implementation_bundle

Return a curated implementation recipe — prerequisites, install, configuration, working code — for a named scenario.

Ten curated implementation bundles

Bundle	What it covers
`react-uikit-quickstart`	React UI Kit install, init, login, conversations list, chat window
`react-native-uikit-quickstart`	React Native UI Kit install, navigation, basic chat screen
`flutter-uikit-quickstart`	Flutter UI Kit install, init, login, basic chat
`ios-uikit-quickstart`	iOS UI Kit (SwiftUI) install, init, login, chat view
`android-uikit-quickstart`	Android UI Kit (Compose) install, init, login, chat screen
`js-sdk-messaging-basics`	Vanilla JS SDK install, send/receive text and media messages
`widget-embed`	No-code widget embed for an existing site
`moderation-setup`	AI moderation, profanity filter, image moderation, webhooks
`multi-tenant-chat`	Multi-tenant SaaS chat — auth, isolation, tenant-scoped users
`presence-and-typing`	Online presence, typing indicators, read receipts

Orientation skill resource

The MCP also exposes a cometchat://skills/overview resource — a structured markdown document the agent reads once to orient itself on CometChat’s products, decision tree, and common pitfalls.

Source

The MCP server is open-source at github.com/cometchat/cometchat-mcp. Built from this very documentation repository, so the content it surfaces is always in sync with what you see on the docs site.
