Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/team/dms`
Method	`POST`
Operation	`post_team_dms`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Opens the direct message between the caller and the people named, or answers the one that already exists — there is one conversation per set of people, however many times it is asked for.

Every person named must be a member of the space or one of the org's agents; a direct message with an agent is a conversation it answers every message in, and a guest may not open one. Answers 201 when this call opened it and 200 when it was already there.

Request

2 fields, body application/json (required).

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`members`	body	string[]	—	Members are the account uuids to talk to — people or agents of the space.
`space`	body	string	—	Space is the space uuid.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`200`	team.teamDirect	ok
`201`	team.teamDirect	created
`default`	problem-details	refused

200 body — 13 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`channel`	body	team.teamChannel	—
`channel.archived`	body	boolean	—	Archived reports that the channel has been closed.
`channel.bindings`	body	string[]	—	Bindings are what this channel is ABOUT, each a "<kind>:<ref>" string — "project:acme/web", "repo:hanzoai/cloud", "issue:1010".
`channel.direct`	body	boolean	—	Direct reports that this is a channel between people rather than a named channel.
`channel.id`	body	string	—	ID is the channel document's own id, and the value the bind op addresses.
`channel.kind`	body	string	—	Kind is what sort of channel this is: "public" (open to everyone in the space), "private" (open to its members) or "dm" (a conversation between the people in it).
`channel.life`	body	string	—	Life is the channel's lifecycle INTENT — "standing" or "bound" (HIP-0523 §2).
`channel.members`	body	string[]	—	Members are the account uuids in the channel, agents included: an agent projects as a space member under a uuid derived from its id, so a caller comparing this against GET /v1/bot/members learns which channels an agent is in.
`channel.name`	body	string	—	Name is what a person sees in a sidebar.
`channel.private`	body	boolean	—	Private reports that the channel is restricted to its members.
`channel.space`	body	string	—	Space is the space uuid holding this channel.
`channel.topic`	body	string	—	Topic is the channel's own one-line subject, as the Team client sets it.
`created`	body	boolean	—	Created is true when this call opened the conversation (201) and false when it already existed (200).

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

MCP reaches team through the team tool, which names its 33 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,

       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_team_account_providers"
         }
       }
     }'
