Tool calls respect NodeBB's permission system. The AI acts as the user and only touches content that user can access.
REST + JSON
Servio Protocol
Manifest endpoint, tool discovery, structured JSON responses. Compatible with the Model Context Protocol standard.
5 Pro tools

Get started

3
Enable the Pro edition
Activate Pro on your NodeBB install and restart. The Pro tools register into the same manifest the core serves.
4
Grant write scope to your AI agent
When your AI agent reconnects it requests write scope. Approve it, and the 5 Pro community tools become callable immediately.
Compatible clients
Works with every AI client.
