What CometChat Docs does
According to its repository: “Search CometChat documentation and get curated implementation bundles for adding real-time chat, voice, video and moderation to apps.”
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard plug between an AI agent and an outside service: once the server is connected, its tools show up in the agent, which decides when to call them. CometChat Docs is listed under Messaging and email, a category of 107 servers in the directory, where it ranks #27 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: ai-agents, ai-coding-assistant, android, chat, claude, claude-code.
Installing and connecting CometChat Docs
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- remote server (streamable-http): you connect to it by URL, with nothing to install locally
It works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and most recent agents). You add one entry to the client's MCP configuration: server name, start command or URL, environment variables. Project language: TypeScript.
Security: what to check
Connecting an MCP server means installing software that talks straight to your agent: it runs with your rights and the model trusts its tool descriptions. The risk therefore depends on what it can touch and how far its code can be trusted.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to CometChat Docs. That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on May 14, 2026, the cometchat/docs-mcp repository has 129 stars and 4 forks, with 2 open issues. It has more stars than 71% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 0.1.6 (September 22, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
