Scoopkit MCP server

AI-industry news for agents. When a model ships, forty outlets write about it; Scoopkit returns the story once, as a structured event classified against a published taxonomy (10 categories, 57 subcategories), with its sources and a correction_history showing how the story changed.

This repo holds setup docs and an Agent Plugins manifest (plugin.json, mcp.json), no server code. The server is hosted at https://api.scoopkit.dev/mcp (Streamable HTTP). There is nothing to install or run.

No API key needed to start. Without a key you get the free tier: the last 45 days of events, 100 calls a day. A free key (same limits, tied to you) comes from scoopkit.dev/start or the request_magic_link tool. A Pro key adds semantic search, a 12-month archive and 10,000 calls a day.

Try it without an MCP client: api.scoopkit.dev/v1/demo/events returns the latest events as JSON, no key, so you can see the shape before connecting anything.

Tools

All tools except request_magic_link are read-only.
