Messaging MCP Server

Messaging MCP Server

anchorWhat is Messaging MCP Server?

anchor

The Webex Messaging MCP Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI agents and LLM platforms to interact with Webex Messaging on behalf of authenticated users. Built on the Agentic Server Platform using Java plugin mode, it exposes a comprehensive set of messaging tools — from sending and searching messages, managing spaces and memberships, to sharing files, creating webhooks, and threaded conversations — via the standardized MCP protocol.

The server acts as a bridge between LLM-powered agents (across Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Copilot) and the Webex Messaging REST API (webexapis.com), enabling a connected intelligence experience where users can seamlessly manage and query their Webex messaging data from any supported AI platform.

  • Server ID: mcp_webex_messaging
  • Transport: HTTP Streaming (SSE) at /mcp/webex-messaging
  • Mode: Plugin (in-process Java plugins calling Webex APIs directly)

anchorAuthentication

anchor

Auth Type: OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token

Issuer: https://idbroker.webex.com

Flow: The MCP client obtains a Webex OAuth token and passes it via the Authorization: Bearer <token> header. The server forwards it to each plugin, and plugins call the Webex REST API (webexapis.com) on behalf of the authenticated user.
