crewai-instanode-tools — provision a database from a CrewAI agent in one call

CrewAI tools for instanode.dev. Let a CrewAI agent provision a real Postgres database (pgvector pre-installed) or a webhook receiver mid-task with a single tool call — no signup, no Docker, no setup. Free anonymous tier (24h TTL). Prefer MCP? Use the instanode MCP server (Claude Code / Cursor / Copilot / Windsurf) instead.

pip install crewai-instanode-tools

Use it from a CrewAI agent

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_instanode_tools import (
    ProvisionPostgresTool,
    ProvisionWebhookTool,
    ListResourcesTool,
)

provisioner = Agent(
    role="Infrastructure provisioner",
    goal="Give the team working database URLs with zero setup.",
    backstory="Spins up Postgres + webhooks via instanode.dev.",
    tools=[ProvisionPostgresTool(), ProvisionWebhookTool(), ListResourcesTool()],
)

task = Task(
    description="Stand up a Postgres DB for the embeddings pipeline and report its DSN.",
    agent=provisioner,
)

Crew(agents=[provisioner], tasks=[task]).kickoff()

Tool catalog

• ProvisionPostgresTool — postgres:// DSN, pgvector pre-installed.
• ProvisionWebhookTool — HTTPS receiver URL (stores recent request bodies).
• ListResourcesTool — enumerate resources owned by the current API key.

MongoDB, Redis/cache, NATS queue, and heartbeat-monitor tools are on the roadmap, gated on the matching backend endpoints landing. They live on the feature/full-api branch.
