ZulipChat MCP Server

Model Context Protocol server for Zulip Chat. Connect Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, and other MCP clients to Zulip.

Quick Start · Setup Wizard · Integrations · Two-Tier Tools · Contributing

Quick Start

uvx zulipchat-mcp --zulip-config-file ~/.zuliprc

That's it. Your AI assistant can now read and write Zulip messages.

Need a zuliprc? Zulip Settings > Personal > Account & privacy > API key — download the file, save it as ~/.zuliprc.

Interactive onboarding:

uvx --from zulipchat-mcp zulipchat-mcp-setup

What This Does

ZulipChat MCP bridges any MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to your Zulip workspace. The assistant can:

Send and read messages — stream messages, DMs, replies, reactions
Search conversation history — full-text search with filters for sender, stream, time range
Resolve people by name — "message Jaime" just works, no hunting for formal emails
Switch identities — post as yourself or as a bot, in the same session
Monitor activity — search recent messages, get stream info, check who's online
Bind sessions to Zulip topics — give long-running agent sessions a stable control topic
Request approvals in-topic — owner replies with approve / deny in the session topic

Two-Tier Tool Architecture

v0.6.0 introduced a deliberate split: 20 core tools by default, 56 tools when you need more.

Core Mode (default)

The 20 tools that cover most daily use:

Category	Tools
Messaging	`send_message`, `edit_message`, `get_message`, `add_reaction`
Search	`search_messages`, `get_streams`, `get_stream_info`, `get_stream_topics`
Users	`resolve_user`, `get_users`, `get_own_user`
Agent Comms	`teleport_chat`, `register_agent`, `ensure_agent_session`, `agent_message`, `request_user_input`, `wait_for_response`
System	`switch_identity`, `server_info`, `manage_message_flags`

Why 20 instead of 56? Fewer tools means faster tool selection, lower token overhead, and less confusion for the AI. Most tasks — sending messages, searching, reacting, and binding an agent session to Zulip — only need the core set.

Extended Mode

Need scheduled messages, event queues, file uploads, analytics, or advanced search?

uvx zulipchat-mcp --zulip-config-file ~/.zuliprc --extended-tools

Or via environment variable:

ZULIPCHAT_EXTENDED_TOOLS=1 uvx zulipchat-mcp --zulip-config-file ~/.zuliprc

Extended mode adds: toggle_reaction, cross_post_message, advanced_search, construct_narrow, `get_scheduled_mess
