# POST /knowledge-bases/adopt

**Resource:** [Knowledge Bases](./knowledge-bases.md)  
**MCP tool:** `adopt_retell_knowledge_base`  
**Scopes:** `knowledge:write`  
**Write operation:** yes

Adopt an existing voice-provider knowledge base into the unified system: links it in place (no duplicate), imports its web-page sources into search, and attaches any voice agents already using it. Pass retell_kb_id.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
|------|----|------|----------|-------------|
| `retell_kb_id` | body | string | yes |  |
| `name` | body | string | no |  |
| `require_approval` | body | boolean | no | Optional. Set true to route this write into the approval queue for human review instead of executing it immediately (returns 202 + an approval_id). Works even when your key/token has permission to execute directly. |
