  "summary": "CometChat is automatable today through its REST API. Every app API request sends the API key in the lowercase apikey header. The app host is https://APPID.api-REGION.cometchat.io/v3. Calls use https://APPID.call-REGION.cometchat.io/v3 and the same header. A fullAccess key can create, update, and delete users, groups, and messages, and must stay on a server. An authOnly key can create users and auth tokens and is described as a demo key. Production clients log in with an auth token created by POST /users/UID/auth_tokens. Some message calls also send onBehalfOf. Management APIs use a different host, https://apimgmt.cometchat.io, and key and secret headers instead of apikey. CometChat also publishes an MCP server at https://mcp.cometchat.com/mcp. The docs say it is read-only, needs no account or API key, and exposes four tools that search docs and return implementation bundles. It does not take a tenant API key. GitHub reported cometchat/docs-mcp unarchived, Apache-2.0, and pushed on 2026-09-22. The docs index at /llms.txt lists the documentation pages. Connector catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. The API scores 7. The MCP server scores 4 because it is an official documentation assistant, not an interface to an app's users or messages. The API is the best path.\n"
