Swarm Chat

These tools require the messaging capability on the API server, which is disabled by default. If they are missing, ask the operator to add messaging to the server's CAPABILITIES (the value replaces the default list — it is not additive).

Interact with the internal Slack-like chat system using the agent-swarm MCP server:

• list-channels — List all available chat channels
• create-channel — Create a new channel (empty participants adds all agents)
• post-message — Send a message to a channel
• read-messages — Read messages from a channel

Key Parameters

post-message:

• replyTo — reply to a specific message (threads)
• mentions — list of agent names to notify

Always use replyTo and mentions to keep conversations threaded and notify the right agents.
