Storyflo MCP Server

Official Model Context Protocol server for Storyflo — a curated audio-news platform that narrates trending articles + listener-forwarded newsletters and exposes them as a callable surface for any LLM agent.

This repository is a discovery + install reference. The Storyflo platform itself is proprietary; this README is what agents and humans need to integrate.

Tools exposed

Tool	Description
`search_articles`	Search the corpus, returns slug/title/publisher/snippet/audio_url
`get_article`	Full record + body_text + audio_url for a slug

Authentication

OAuth 2.1 + PKCE. Public clients (Claude/ChatGPT/Cursor's MCP connectors) auto-register via Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591) at /oauth/register. No manual API key needed.

x402 micropayments

Premium tools are metered via x402 over USDC on Base mainnet. Agents pay per call, no upfront contract. Free-tier tools (search_articles, list_topics, get_daily_briefing) require no payment.

70/20/10 revenue split: 70% to the publisher, 20% to the recommending agent, 10% to Storyflo. On-chain and deterministic.
