Webex MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with comprehensive access to Cisco Webex messaging capabilities.

Overview

This MCP server enables AI assistants to interact with Webex messaging through 52 different tools covering:

• Messages: Send, edit, delete, and retrieve messages
• Rooms: Create and manage Webex spaces
• Teams: Team creation and membership management
• People: User management and directory operations
• Webhooks: Event notifications and integrations
• Enterprise Features: ECM folders, room tabs, and attachments

Features

• ✅ Complete Webex API Coverage: 52 tools covering all major messaging operations
• ✅ Docker Support: Production-ready containerization
• ✅ Dual Transport: Both STDIO and SSE (Server-Sent Events) modes
• ✅ Enterprise Ready: Supports Cisco enterprise authentication
• ✅ Type Safe: Full TypeScript/JavaScript implementation with proper error handling
• ✅ Centralized Configuration: Easy token and endpoint management

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ (20+ recommended). Warning: if you run with a lower version of Node, fetch won't be present. Tools use fetch to make HTTP calls. To work around this, you can modify the tools to use node-fetch instead. Make sure that node-fetch is installed as a dependency and then import it as fetch into each tool file.
• Docker (optional, for containerized deployment)
• Webex API token from developer.webex.com

Token Renewal

Webex Bearer tokens are short-lived. Your current token expires in 12 hours. To renew:

1. Visit: https://developer.webex.com/messaging/docs/api/v1/rooms/list-rooms
2. Login with your email
3. Copy the new bearer token from your profile
4. Update environment variable "WEBEX_PUBLIC_WORKSPACE_API_KEY" with new token (remove "Bearer " prefix)

Installation

1. Clone and install dependencies:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd webex-messaging-mcp-server
   npm install
   

2. Configure environment:

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your Webex API token
   

3. Test the server:

   # List available tools
   node index.js tools
   
   # Start MCP server
   node mcpServer.js
   

Docker Usage

1. Build and run:

   docker build -t webex-mcp-server .
   docker run -i --rm --env-file .env webex-mcp-server
   

2. Using docker-compose:

   docker-compose up webex-mcp-server
