Overview
What is Discourse MCP Server?
Discourse MCP Server is a Node.js server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for searching posts on a Discourse forum. It provides a single tool, search_posts, that accepts a query string and returns an array of post objects. It is designed for developers who want to integrate Discourse search capabilities into MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop.
How to use Discourse MCP Server?
Configure the server by adding it to claude_desktop_config.json using either a Docker image (ashdev/discourse-mcp-server) or the npx command (@ashdev/discourse-mcp-server). You must set three environment variables: DISCOURSE_API_URL (the Discourse forum URL), DISCOURSE_API_KEY (your API key), and DISCOURSE_API_USERNAME (the username for the API key). Once configured, the client will have access to the search_posts tool.
