Any plans to release an http/sse streaming version of the Discourse MCP server so we can add it as a connector to Claude.ai Chat?

We already support HTTP, since this announcement, see two replies above:

Remote (web) MCP

First up, I think while a local npx-run, stdout-based MCP is useful for power users who are competent in the CLI and have npm installed and are already using Claude Code, opencode, Codex CLI or similar, it won’t really be possible for the majority of Discourse users to use the MCP until it is something that each Discourse instance publishes at a well-known URL.

I wonder if perhaps a plugin-ized version of the MCP could run on the same server as a self-hosted Discourse (perhaps in a separate container like mail-receiver), interacting with the Discourse via API (as does mail-receiver) but also interacting with web-based LLMs like Claude Web / ChatGPT Web via an authenticated web API. This would unlock the MCP feature for non-dev users.

I wanted to check that something similar isn’t in the pipeline already.

Our MCP has support for http transport too, not only stdout. I added that before publishing this blog post even, back in October of last year. So you can run it on a sidecar service anywhere you want!

I have used it with Claude desktop here:

Exploring your Discourse Data with Discourse MCP

We just added Data Explorer integration to Discourse MCP, allowing both technical and non-technical users alike to explore the vast data on their Discourse instances. The MCP uses the existing Data Explorer workflow, running read-only queries in the live production database, and is able to create, run, update, and delete any Data Explorer reports. To get started, use the same flow as described in our Discourse MCP is here! blog post, provide an admin API key, and connect it to your favorite LL…

That said, for use with a website, you will need to run the MCP CLI in a web accessible address. When I tested that I used Cloudflare Tunnels for it.
