update_configuration
Update Signal messaging settings for read receipts, typing indicators, link previews, and sealed sender indicators. Changes apply instantly and persist across sessions.
Instructions
Update Signal account-wide messaging settings. Only works when signal-mcp is the account's primary device — fails with 'This command doesn't work on linked devices' if signal-mcp was set up via signal-cli link. read_receipts controls whether Signal tells senders when you have read their messages. typing_indicators controls whether contacts see the '...' indicator when you are composing. link_previews controls whether URLs in outgoing messages generate inline previews. unidentified_delivery_indicators controls whether sealed-sender delivery icons are shown. All parameters are optional — omit any setting you do not want to change. Changes take effect immediately and persist across sessions. signal-cli has no way to read back current values — track what you've set yourself if needed. Use update_account for account-level privacy settings (discoverability, username). Do NOT use to change your profile name or photo — use update_profile for that.
