Lucas Gomide a237ebabba feat: adopt directory-based docs versioning with Edge channel (#6202)
* feat: adopt directory-based docs versioning with Edge channel

Switch docs.crewai.com from navigation-only versioning (every version
selector entry rendered the same docs/<lang>/* source files) to
Mintlify's directory-based versioning so each version selector entry
renders its own snapshot. Add an "Edge" channel under docs/edge/<lang>/*
that always reflects main HEAD for unreleased work, eliminating
pre-release leakage onto frozen release labels. External links to
canonical /<lang>/* URLs are preserved via wildcard redirects that
always land on the current default version.

Layout:
- docs/edge/<lang>/*         rolling source (you edit here)
- docs/edge/enterprise-api.*.yaml
- docs/v<X.Y.Z>/<lang>/*     frozen, immutable snapshots
- docs/v<X.Y.Z>/enterprise-api.*.yaml
- docs/images/               shared, append-only
- docs/docs.json             nav + redirects

URLs follow the Mintlify-idiomatic shape: /edge/<lang>/<page> for
Edge, /v<X.Y.Z>/<lang>/<page> for every frozen snapshot. The wildcard
redirects /<lang>/:slug* -> /<default>/<lang>/:slug* keep stale links
working, and every freeze rewrites them (plus all per-section/per-page
redirects) so destinations always resolve to the current default
without depending on a second redirect hop.

Release flow integration (devtools release):
- New module crewai_devtools.docs_versioning.freeze() materialises
  docs/v<X.Y.Z>/ from docs/edge/, rewrites openapi: refs inside the
  snapshot, inserts the version into every language block in
  docs.json, and refreshes all redirect destinations.
- _update_docs_and_create_pr() in cli.py now calls that freeze during
  Phase 2 of devtools release. Edge changelogs are updated first (so
  the snapshot freeze picks them up), then the snapshot is staged
  alongside docs.json, branched as docs/freeze-v<X.Y.Z>, and the PR
  is titled [docs-freeze] docs: snapshot and changelog for v<X.Y.Z>
  — the title prefix the new CI guard reads.
- The PR still gates tag, GitHub release, PyPI publish, and the
  enterprise release as before; no new PRs are added.
- Pre-releases (1.X.YaN, 1.X.YbN, ...) skip the snapshot — they ride
  Edge — and the docs PR title omits the [docs-freeze] prefix.
- docs_check (AI-generated docs scaffolding) writes to
  docs/edge/<lang>/* so newly-generated unreleased docs land in Edge
  and never accidentally touch a frozen snapshot.

Migration scripts (one-shot):
- scripts/docs/freeze_historical_versions.py reconstructs all 16
  historical snapshots (v1.10.0 .. v1.14.7) from git tags via
  git archive | tar, rewriting openapi: MDX refs so each snapshot
  reads its own enterprise-api YAML rather than the live one.
- scripts/docs/prefix_version_paths.py one-shot-migrates docs.json:
  rewrites every page path in 16 versioned blocks to point under
  docs/v<X.Y.Z>/, inserts a new Edge entry per language, tags
  v1.14.7 as Latest (default), prunes pages whose target file
  doesn't exist in the snapshot (e.g. docs/ar/ didn't exist before
  v1.12.0), and writes the wildcard + per-section redirects.
- scripts/docs/freeze_current_edge.py is now a thin CLI wrapper
  around docs_versioning.freeze for manual one-off freezes (e.g.
  retroactively snapshotting a forgotten release).

CI guards (.github/workflows/docs-snapshots.yml):
- Frozen snapshots under docs/v[0-9]*/ are immutable; only PRs whose
  title contains [docs-freeze] (i.e. release-cut PRs generated by
  devtools release or the manual wrapper) may modify them.
- Images under docs/images/ are append-only since snapshots share a
  single image directory. Deleting or renaming an image breaks every
  historical snapshot that still references it.

Restored docs/images/crewai-otel-export.png from PR #3673; it was
deleted in PR #4908 but v1.10.0 / v1.10.1 snapshots still reference
it. Restoring instead of editing the snapshots preserves historical
rendering fidelity and validates the new append-only rule
retroactively.

Tests:
- lib/devtools/tests/test_docs_versioning.py covers the freeze: file
  copy, openapi rewrite, version insertion, default demotion, redirect
  upserts, per-section redirect rewriting, idempotency, and invalid
  inputs.

Verified locally with mintlify broken-links: 0 broken links across
the full site (Edge + 16 frozen versions, 4 locales).

AGENTS.md (repo root) is the contributor guide for the new model;
RELEASING.md is the release-cut runbook; README's Contribution
section links to both.

title: Databricks Integration
description: "Connect CrewAI agents to Databricks Genie, SQL, Unity Catalog Functions, and Vector Search through Databricks managed MCP servers."
icon: "layer-group"
mode: "wide"
---
## Overview
Connect your CrewAI agents directly to your Databricks workspace through [Databricks managed MCP servers](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/generative-ai/mcp/managed-mcp). The Databricks integration lets your agents ask natural-language questions with **Genie**, run governed **SQL**, call **Unity Catalog Functions**, and retrieve documents with **Vector Search** — all without writing or hosting any connector code, and with Unity Catalog permissions enforced on every call.
Under the hood, the Databricks integration is a managed wrapper around CrewAI's [Custom MCP Server](/en/enterprise/guides/custom-mcp-server) support. Databricks exposes each capability as its own [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) endpoint, and CrewAI connects to them securely on your behalf. Because each server is added separately, you can enable exactly the capabilities your crews need.
## Key Capabilities
<CardGroup cols={2}>
<Card title="Genie" icon="comments">
Ask questions in plain language and get grounded answers from your data with [Genie](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/genie/), which queries Genie Spaces and Unity Catalog and links back to the Databricks UI.
</Card>
<Card title="Databricks SQL" icon="database">
Run governed SQL against your Databricks warehouses to query, transform, and author data pipelines directly from your agents.
</Card>
<Card title="Unity Catalog Functions" icon="function">
Invoke [Unity Catalog functions](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/udf/unity-catalog) to run predefined SQL and custom business logic as governed, reusable tools.
</Card>
<Card title="Vector Search" icon="magnifying-glass">
Retrieve relevant documents for RAG and knowledge workflows from [Mosaic AI Vector Search](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/generative-ai/vector-search) indexes using semantic similarity.
</Card>
</CardGroup>
Every server runs behind the Unity AI Gateway and enforces Unity Catalog access controls, so your agents only ever see the data and tools they're permitted to use.
## Prerequisites
Before using the Databricks integration, ensure you have:
- A [CrewAI AMP](https://app.crewai.com) account with an active subscription
- A Databricks workspace with the capabilities you want to expose (Genie Spaces, SQL warehouses, Unity Catalog functions, or Vector Search indexes)
- Appropriate [Unity Catalog privileges](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/data-governance/unity-catalog) on the underlying objects
- Your Databricks workspace hostname (e.g. `your-workspace.cloud.databricks.com`)
## Databricks Managed MCP Servers
Databricks publishes a separate managed MCP server for each capability. CrewAI exposes these as individual connections, each configured with your workspace host and the relevant Unity Catalog identifiers. The endpoints follow these patterns:
| Server | What it does | MCP URL pattern |
|--------|--------------|-----------------|
| **Genie** | Natural-language Q&A over a Genie Space | `https://<workspace-hostname>/api/2.0/mcp/genie/{genie_space_id}` |
| **Databricks SQL** | Execute SQL against your warehouses | `https://<workspace-hostname>/api/2.0/mcp/sql` |
| **Unity Catalog Functions** | Run registered UC functions | `https://<workspace-hostname>/api/2.0/mcp/functions/{catalog}/{schema}` |
| **Vector Search** | Query a Vector Search index | `https://<workspace-hostname>/api/2.0/mcp/vector-search/{catalog}/{schema}` |
<Note>
You don't construct these URLs by hand — CrewAI builds each endpoint from the workspace host and identifiers (Genie Space ID, or catalog/schema) you provide when configuring the connection. For the full specification and the latest endpoint details, see the [Databricks managed MCP documentation](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/generative-ai/mcp/managed-mcp).
</Note>
## Connecting Databricks in CrewAI AMP
<Frame>
<img src="/images/enterprise/databricks-configure.png" alt="Configure a Databricks managed MCP server in CrewAI AMP" />
</Frame>
Each Databricks capability — **Databricks Genie**, **Databricks SQL**, **Databricks Unity Catalog Functions**, and **Databricks Vector Search** — appears as its own MCP server under the Databricks group on the **Tools & Integrations** page. Configure the ones you need:
<Steps>
<Step title="Open Tools & Integrations">
Navigate to **Tools & Integrations** in the left sidebar of CrewAI AMP and locate the **Databricks** group in the Connections list. You'll see the Genie, SQL, Unity Catalog Functions, and Vector Search servers listed beneath it.
</Step>
<Step title="Configure a server">
Click **Configure** next to the capability you want to enable and provide its connection details:
- **Workspace Host** — your Databricks workspace hostname (e.g. `my-workspace.cloud.databricks.com`).
- **Genie** — the **Genie Space ID** to query.
- **Unity Catalog Functions** — the **catalog** and **schema** that contain your functions.
- **Vector Search** — the **catalog** and **schema** that contain your index.
- **Databricks SQL** — no additional identifiers; queries run against your workspace's SQL warehouses.
</Step>
<Step title="Choose an authentication method">
Select how CrewAI authenticates to Databricks. **OAuth** is recommended.
- **Use OAuth** — Connect securely using OAuth 2.0. Each user authenticates individually, and Databricks issues tokens scoped to the capability (`genie`, `sql`, `unity-catalog`, or `vector-search`). CrewAI handles the authorization flow and refreshes tokens automatically.
- **Use personal access token** — Authenticate with a [Databricks personal access token](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/dev-tools/auth/pat). Use a least-privileged identity to limit exposure.
</Step>
<Step title="Authenticate">
Complete authentication. Once connected, the server's tools become available to your crews. Repeat for any other Databricks capabilities you want to enable.
</Step>
</Steps>
<Tip>
Because each capability is a separate connection, you can mix and match — for example, enable Genie and Vector Search for a research crew while reserving SQL and Unity Catalog Functions for a data-engineering crew. Visibility settings let you control which team members can use each one.
</Tip>
## Using Databricks Tools in Your Crews
Once connected, the tools each MCP server exposes appear alongside built-in connections on the **Tools & Integrations** page. You can:
- **Assign tools to agents** in your crews just like any other CrewAI tool.
- **Manage visibility** to control which team members can use each connection.
- **Edit or remove** any connection at any time from the Connections list.
Your agents can now ask Genie for grounded answers, run SQL against your warehouses, call Unity Catalog functions, and search Vector Search indexes — with results flowing back into their reasoning automatically.
<Warning>
Databricks enforces governance through Unity Catalog and the Unity AI Gateway: a user can only discover and invoke tools their workspace identity is permitted to use. If a tool call fails, confirm the connecting user (or token identity) has the required Unity Catalog privileges on the Genie Space, warehouse, function, or index. Some Genie and SQL queries run asynchronously and may take a moment to return results.
</Warning>
