Discourse MCP Integration for CrewAI
Connect Discourse to CrewAI through the local KosmoKrator MCP gateway with scoped tools, credentials, and write policy.
Connect Discourse to CrewAI
Expose KosmoKrator integrations to CrewAI workers as scoped local tools.
Wrap kosmo integrations:call for specific tasks or connect workers to a local MCP gateway. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with
--write=deny so CrewAI can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.
Discourse MCP Config for CrewAI
Use per-worker integration scopes to avoid giving every worker every tool.

Expose only Discourse instead of a broad multi-service tool list.
Reuse credentials already configured for the KosmoKrator CLI and Lua runtime.
