A vendor recommending you start read-only is worth following, especially in a community.
The failure mode here is not data loss — it is an agent posting to a space full of your members. Circle's per-category permissions make that a choice rather than an accident, and their documentation says outright to begin without write access. Take the advice; a community is the one place where an agent's mistake is public and attributed to you.
What it is
Circle's endpoint for their community platform. The connection is browser-authorised, and permissions are granted per category rather than as one grant.
What you get
Access to your community's content and members through the platform's own API.
Requirements
A Circle community on the Business plan or higher, and an admin account on it. You sign in when you connect and choose Read only or Full access. Circle recommends letting read-only tools run freely and keeping write and delete tools on Needs approval, which Claude's connector settings set per category.
Setup effort
Paste a URL, then authorize — add the endpoint to your client, then approve the OAuth consent screen
USE CASES
01
Answering from what the community already discussed
Read posts and threads without giving the agent any ability to reply.
02
Granting write access deliberately
Permissions are per category, so posting can be enabled for one space and not others.
