---

CometChat's first-party MCP server. Connect Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, Codex, or any other Model Context Protocol–compatible agent and integrate CometChat into your app from natural-language prompts.

Ask the agent: "add a chat tab where users can DM each other" — it reads CometChat's documentation, picks the right components for your stack, and writes the integration code.

Read-only. No account, no API key, no authentication required.

Usage

After connecting, prompt your agent with any of these:

• "How do I install the React UI Kit in my Vite project?"
• "Walk me through multi-tenant chat for a Next.js SaaS where workspaces are isolated."
• "Show me how to add presence indicators and typing dots to my iOS conversation list."
• "Set up content moderation so banned words are blocked before delivery."
• "Build a no-code chat widget for my Webflow site."
• "What's the rate limit for sending messages, and what error code do I get when I hit it?"

The agent reads CometChat's documentation, pulls the relevant implementation bundle, and writes the integration code into your project.

---

Tools

• search_cometchat_docs — Search the SDK, UI Kit, Calls, REST API, AI agent, notification and moderation docs by topic, API name or error message. Returns ranked snippets with page URLs, current versions first. Optional version filter and limit (up to 25).
• fetch_cometchat_doc_page — Fetch one documentation page in full as markdown by URL or path, following moved pages. Pages over 50 KiB are truncated with a link to the full page.
• get_cometchat_implementation_bundle — Return the implementation bundle for a named scenario: the scenario's current docs pages (for a UI Kit: its integration guide, then the platform's AI reference page) compiled into one document, plus related page paths.
• list_cometchat_bundles — List every available implementation bundle (identifier, title, framework, date its page list was reviewed) for discovery.

All four carry readOnlyHint: true, a title annotation, and a declared outputSchema with structured results. Names are ≤ 64 characters. Each description states what the tool does, when it fits and its limits (errors, rate limit), naming this server's other tools only where one serves a specific need ("identifiers come from list_cometchat_bundles"). They carry no directives to the agent, no references to other servers or products, and no marketing language. tests/tools.test.ts guards the tool, parameter and output-field descriptions and the initialize instructions against a list of banned phrasings, and checks that list still rejects the shapes it was written for; it is a banlist, not a proof.

---

How it works

1. You prompt your agent in natural language.
2. The agent reads the orientation skill (cometchat://skills/overview) to understand which tool/bundle fits your request.
3. For top scenarios, the agent pulls an implementation bundle — the current docs pages for that integration in one document.
4. For long-tail questions, the agent searches CometChat's docs and reads specific reference pages.
5. The agent writes the code into your project, using the bundle as the source of truth and your project structure as the constraint.

Architecture

Your agent (Claude / Cursor / Windsurf / …)
        ↓ MCP over Streamable HTTP
        ↓
  mcp.cometchat.com/mcp  (this server)
        ↓
  ├── search_cometchat_docs     → SQLite FTS5 index of cometchat/docs
  ├── fetch_cometchat_doc_page  → cometchat.com/docs/*.md (first-party)
  └── get_cometchat_implementation_bundle → live docs pages listed in src/bundles/manifest.ts

• Stateless server, single universal endpoint, no user-specific state.
• Search index rebuilds from github.com/cometchat/docs on every push to that repo's main branch.
• Implementation bundles have no content of their own. Each is a list of docs pages (src/bundles/manifest.ts), read from the live docs on request, so a docs fix reaches the bundle with no MCP change. A built bundle is served for 10 minutes; after that a call still gets it at once and starts one background rebuild. A rebuild that hits a timeout or 5xx never replaces the cached bundle and is retried with a backoff (30 s, doubling, up to 10 minutes), so a docs outage neither drops bundles nor floods the docs site. A deleted page (404) is what the docs say: once a second build in a row agrees, that rebuild is kept and names the missing page. npm run verify:bundles fails when a listed page moves, disappears, no longer fits in its bundle, is no longer the current version in docs.json, or tells people to install a package version that is unpublished, on an older major, or an exact pin a minor behind (checked against npm, pub.dev, CometChat's Maven repo, CocoaPods trunk and GitHub); the maintainers run it daily.

Local development

# Clone the docs repo (used to build the search index)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cometchat/docs.git ../cometchat-docs-repo

# Install + build the FTS index + run the server
npm install
DOCS_REPO=../cometchat-docs-repo npm run build:index
npm run dev

# Run the test suite (vitest: validation, truncation, bundles, tools, resources, fetch,
#  search ranking and the index builder)
npm test

# Score search ranking on the index you built (CI pins the docs commit: see DEPLOY.md)
DOCS_REPO=../cometchat-docs-repo npm run eval:search

# Check every docs page a bundle lists still exists and is current (network)
npm run verify:bundles

The server listens on http://0.0.0.0:3000 by default. Health probe at GET /health, MCP endpoint at POST /mcp.

Inspect with the MCP Inspector

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
# add server: http://localhost:3000/mcp

You should see all 4 tools with readOnlyHint: true and all 11 resources.

Configuration

Env var	Default	Notes
PORT	3000	HTTP port
HOST	0.0.0.0	Bind host
DOCS_BASE_URL	https://www.cometchat.com/docs	Used for URLs in responses + the .md fetch fallback
INDEX_PATH	./data/index.sqlite	SQLite FTS5 index location. Server still boots if missing; search returns backend_unavailable and /health is 503.
SKILLS_DIR	./skills	Orientation skill (overview.md) directory
FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS	5000	Per-fetch HTTP timeout
LOG_LEVEL	info	debug / info / warn / error
NODE_ENV	development	Standard Node.js setting (Express runs in production mode); set production in containers
ALLOWED_HOSTS	<HOST>:<PORT>,localhost:<PORT>,127.0.0.1:<PORT>	Comma-separated Host header allowlist for DNS-rebinding protection
ALLOWED_ORIGINS	unset	Comma-separated browser Origin allowlist for /mcp. Unset allows none: a request with an Origin gets 403. Clients that send no Origin (IDEs, CLIs, hosted connectors) are unaffected
DNS_REBINDING_PROTECTION	true	Set false only if an upstream already validates Host
RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED	true	Set false to disable per-IP rate limiting on /mcp. Exactly true or false; other values fail startup
RATE_LIMIT_MAX	120	Max requests per window per IP. Positive integer; 0 fails startup (disable with RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=false)
RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MS	60000	Rate-limit window in ms. Positive integer
INDEX_AUTO_REFRESH	false	Set true to rebuild the search index in-container when cometchat/docs changes. Requires git in the image and a writable INDEX_WORK_DIR.
INDEX_POLL_INTERVAL_MS	600000	How often to check the docs repo for a new commit (a git ls-remote, ~1s)
INDEX_WORK_DIR	./data/generations	Where rebuilt index generations are written (tmpfs in production)
INDEX_KEEP_GENERATIONS	2	Previous index generations retained on disk for instant fallback
INDEX_MIN_PAGES	2000	Absolute floor: a candidate index with fewer pages is rejected
INDEX_MAX_DROP_RATIO	0.2	Relative floor: reject a candidate losing more than this fraction of the served page count, or of the served pages whose versions come from docs.json navigation
DOCS_REPO_URL	https://github.com/cometchat/docs.git	Public docs repo; cloned anonymously, no credentials
DOCS_REF	main	Branch to follow
DOCS_COMMIT_PIN	unset	Freeze on one commit and stop following HEAD (incident escape hatch)
POSTHOG_KEY	unset	PostHog project API key. Unset = usage analytics fully disabled (no-op)
POSTHOG_HOST	https://us.i.posthog.com	PostHog instance host
ANALYTICS_SALT	unset	Required when POSTHOG_KEY is set (analytics stays off without it). Salts client fingerprints/IP hashes; rotating it resets all fingerprints

Support

• Issues / feedback: open an issue in this repo.
• CometChat support: support@cometchat.com.
• Live MCP status: curl https://mcp.cometchat.com/health returns {"status":"ok"} when healthy.

---

Contributing

PRs welcome — especially:

• New implementation bundles: add an entry to src/bundles/manifest.ts listing existing docs pages. If no page covers the scenario, write the page in cometchat/docs first; bundle content always comes from the docs.
• Tool improvements behind the existing read-only contract.

Out of scope today:

• Tools that write to a customer's CometChat app (separate authenticated connector, on the roadmap).
• Mixed read/write tools (Anthropic auto-rejection rule).

Privacy

The CometChat MCP server is read-only and requires no account, API key, or authentication. It serves only CometChat's public documentation and does not request, store, or transmit your code, prompts, or personal data. Standard request metadata (such as IP address) may be processed transiently for rate limiting and abuse prevention.
