Discourse Acp — AI skill for Claude Code

AI community

ACP harness bridging a Discourse forum to AI agents: polls @mentions and PMs, drives an ACP agent (claude/goose/codex/omp) over stdio, and replies through the discourse-mcp tools.

README

discourse-acp

An **ACP harness on top of Discourse** — a port of [block/buzz](https://github.com/block/buzz)'s `buzz-acp` where the transport is a Discourse forum instead of a Nostr relay.

buzz is really two things: a *transport* (a Nostr relay carrying signed events) and an *agent surface* (`buzz-acp`, which listens for @mentions and lets an ACP agent reply using tools). The agent surface doesn't care that the transport is Nostr. This project keeps the whole buzz agent surface — the queue, the agent pool, per-conversation ACP sessions, the author gate, owner commands, heartbeat — and swaps the transport for Discourse's REST/notifications API. The forum you already run becomes the room humans and agents share.

The agent's **hands** are our own MCP server, [`discourse-mcp`](../discourse-mcp) — a focused Python (stdlib) fork of [`@discourse/mcp`](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-mcp) carrying the forum tools a participant needs plus the engagement actions the npm server lacks (like/react/bookmark/watch, and reading the bot's own notifications). The harness hands it to the agent the way `buzz-acp` hands an agent its MCP server, and passes the bot's credentials in the server's env (never on the command line).
