Forums MCP

Search forum and discussion posts. One tool: search_webz_discussions.

MCP endpoint

https://forums-mcp.webz.io/mcp

How it works

Ask about threads, replies, or boards in plain language. The assistant calls GET /api/forums with a q string.

Excerpt is a short clip of the post or reply text (up to about 600 characters).

Connect your client

Replace YOUR_WEBZ_TOKEN with your token.

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json on Windows) and restart Cursor:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webz-forums": {
      "url": "https://forums-mcp.webz.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_WEBZ_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Token needs forums (api_discussions) access. Setup: https://forums-mcp.webz.io/.

Claude Desktop

Merge the same webz-forums entry into your Claude Desktop config file - do not replace the whole file - then restart Claude Desktop:

OSConfig file
macOS~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Linux~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Claude Code

Run in your project root:

claude mcp add --transport http webz-forums https://forums-mcp.webz.io/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_WEBZ_TOKEN"

n8n

Add an MCP Client Tool node and connect it to an AI Agent node's Tool input:

FieldValue
Endpointhttps://forums-mcp.webz.io/mcp
Server TransportHTTP Streamable
AuthenticationBearer Auth
Tools to IncludeAll

Create a Bearer Auth credential and paste your Webz.io API token as the bearer token. The agent receives a search_webz_discussions tool.

Claude.ai and ChatGPT (web)

Add https://forums-mcp.webz.io/mcp as a custom connector (Claude.ai: Settings > Connectors; ChatGPT: Settings > Apps & Connectors with Developer mode on). Both use OAuth: leave Client ID and Secret empty, then paste your Webz token on the authorize page. Setup instructions for every client are at forums-mcp.webz.io.

Opening the /mcp endpoint in a browser returns 401 Unauthorized by design - browsers do not send your token. Use an MCP client.

4. What you see from the assistant

I pulled 8 active English Reddit threads from the last 3 days about electric vehicles with more than 20 replies. Hot topics: confusion over stacked EV tax credits and lease vs buy advice in one megathread, and winter road-trip charging strategy in another. I can open any URL above or relax replies_count if you want quieter threads too.
