Frequently asked questions

1

What dependencies does Mattermost MCP Server require?

Node.js and npm are required. The server also needs a Mattermost personal access token and the workspace URL.

2

How is authentication handled?

Authentication is configured via a `config.local.json` file containing your Mattermost URL, personal access token, and team ID. The server uses these credentials for all API calls.

3

Can I run monitoring on a schedule?

Yes. Enable monitoring by setting `"enabled": true` in your config and specify a cron expression (e.g., `"*/15 * * * *"`) for the schedule. You can also trigger it manually via HTTP, CLI, or the `mattermost_run_monitoring` tool.

4

What are the limits for paginated tools?

The `mattermost_list_channels`, `mattermost_get_users`, and similar tools accept `limit` (default 100, max 200) and `page` parameters. `mattermost_get_channel_history` and `mattermost_get_thread_replies` also support pagination with `limit` (default 30) and `page`.

5

Where are credentials and configuration stored?

Your real Mattermost credentials and monitoring settings are stored in a `config.local.json` file (gitignored). The repository includes a `config.json` template with placeholder values.
