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 LLM.

Here it is together with Claude Cowork, connected to meta.discourse.org
