Crossbeam+Discourse

Bring Crossbeam and Discourse together in your AI tools

Crossbeam surfaces which partners share your accounts and where partner deals are opening and closing. Discourse brings the questions and conversations those same customers are having in your community. One prompt, not two tools.

Run your first AI workflow across both tools

Start with a prompt that brings Crossbeam and Discourse into the same conversation. Crossbeam brings the full partner picture: overlaps, performance, deal activity. Discourse brings your community: what customers are asking, building, and running into on your forum.

Account intelligence
CrossbeamPartner

Get the partner and community picture on any account

Crossbeam shows which partners share the account, ranked by partner score, plus recent partner deals opened or closed won there. Discourse adds what people from that account have been posting and asking in your community.

Example prompt
"Which partners share [Account] in Crossbeam, and what have users from [Account] posted in our Discourse community recently?"
Deal acceleration
CrossbeamPartner

Turn community questions into a reason to bring a partner in

Discourse shows the topics an open opportunity's users are raising in your community, in their own words. Crossbeam recommends partners on that account with recent wins, long-term relationships, or contacts you are missing, so the answer arrives with backup.

Example prompt
"Pull recent Discourse posts from users at [Account], then ask Crossbeam which recommended partners have recent wins there."
Co-sell execution
CrossbeamPartner

Prep a co-sell conversation with contacts and forum context

Crossbeam returns the partner-shared contacts at the account, ranked by role signals like decision maker, economic buyer, and executive sponsor. Discourse fills in what the account's users have been discussing on your forum, so you walk in knowing what they are working on.

Example prompt
"Before my co-sell call on [Account] with [Partner], pull the partner-shared contacts from Crossbeam and summarize what [Account] users have posted in our Discourse community."
Ecosystem building
CrossbeamPartner

Find your next partnership in your community's questions

Discourse surfaces which tools and integrations your community keeps asking about. Crossbeam checks those vendors against your overlap data and suggested partners, complete with invite links, so community demand points to your next partnership.

Example prompt
"Search our Discourse community for the integrations customers request most, then check Crossbeam for our overlap with those vendors and any partner suggestions."
Pipeline generation
CrossbeamPartner

Build a target list from partner overlap and community activity

Crossbeam finds the prospects that overlap a partner's customer list, segment by segment. Discourse checks whether people from those accounts are already active in your community, an engagement signal your CRM never sees.

Example prompt
"Pull our prospects that are [Partner] customers in Crossbeam, then check our Discourse community for recent activity from those accounts."

What each MCP server does before you pair them

Crossbeam

Crossbeam MCP

Your partner relationships and deal activity.

  • Every account a specific partner has a relationship with, and how strong it is
  • Whether a partner recently opened, closed, or won a deal on an account
  • Contacts a partner has shared, ranked by role: decision maker, economic buyer, executive sponsor, and more
  • Partners who fit your ecosystem based on shared accounts
  • Read-only: nothing here writes back to your CRM or to Crossbeam
Discourse

Discourse

MCP

Your community layer: the questions, topics, and conversations on your Discourse forum.

  • Official first-party @discourse/mcp CLI from Discourse, announced October 2025
  • Runs locally over stdio by default, connecting your AI tools to your Discourse site
  • Read and write access to your community, authenticated with a Discourse API key
  • Discourse also works as an MCP client: admins can attach MCP servers to Discourse AI under Admin, Plugins, Discourse AI, Tools

Frequently asked questions

Crossbeam MCP is in Limited Availability and is enabled by default for customers on Supernode and Enterprise plans. Connect it at mcp.crossbeam.com/mcp using OAuth with your Crossbeam credentials, and SAML SSO is supported. Not on one of those plans? Talk to our team.
There are native connectors for Claude, ChatGPT, and Glean, plus documented setups for Gong Agent Studio and custom connections like n8n, Microsoft Copilot, and LibreChat. Claude, ChatGPT, and Glean also support the partner tool's connector, so both servers run in one chat with no bridging work.
No. Crossbeam MCP is read-only: it reads ecosystem intelligence and returns it to your AI client. It can generate a shareable list link so you can jump into the UI, but no documented tool changes data in Crossbeam.
Use MCP when a person or an agent is asking questions in natural language and needs ecosystem context in the moment. Use the REST API for programmatic reads on your own schedule, and Webhooks when you want Crossbeam to push events to you as they happen. Most teams end up using more than one.
Your overlaps with one partner or across the whole ecosystem, a unified view of a single account with population membership and owner, partner health metrics like overlap counts, open deals, win rate and recency, ranked partner recommendations on an open opportunity, and recent ecosystem activity including partner deals opened, closed won, and greenfield signals. Access is scoped to your own Crossbeam permissions.
No. In supported clients it's a connector plus an OAuth login, with no code, no API keys, and no local install. The partner tool is added the same way, from your client's connector settings.
AI Chat lives inside Crossbeam and answers questions about your ecosystem there. MCP brings that same intelligence into the AI tool you already work in, alongside your other connectors. That's what makes pairings like this one possible in a single prompt.
