Webex Messaging

Messaging MCP Server

anchorWhat is Messaging MCP Server?

anchor

Webex Messaging MCP Server connects AI tools and workflows to Webex Messaging capabilities. It enables agents and apps to create, edit, delete, and retrieve messages in 1:1 and group spaces; manage spaces and memberships; and search messages, files, and spaces.

This makes it easy to automate team communications, route alerts and updates into the right spaces, streamline collaboration setup, support compliance and discovery workflows, and build assistants that help teams work more effectively inside Webex.

Prerequisites: This MCP server must be enabled by your organization's admin in Webex Control Hub before it can be used.

  • Server URL: https://mcp.webexapis.com/mcp/webex-messaging

Auth Type: OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token
