rumors-lines — MCP server

Read-only Model Context Protocol server over the published, native-editor-curated pick-up line corpus of rumors.app: Tagalog, Brazilian Portuguese, Indonesian, Hindi and more. Every line carries a literal English gloss, so an agent can judge tone without speaking the language.

Easiest way: the hosted endpoint

No install needed — the canonical server is hosted:

https://rumors.app/api/mcp        Streamable HTTP, no auth

Server card: https://rumors.app/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json · Official MCP registry entry: app.rumors/lines.

Related MCP server: MCP1

Running this mirror

This repository is a thin, dependency-free mirror (Node 20+). The corpus itself is not vendored here — it is fetched from the production API at first use and cached in memory.

node server.mjs           # stdio transport (MCP default)
node server.mjs --http    # Streamable HTTP on :8080 (PORT env to change)

Or with Docker:

docker build -t rumors-lines-mcp .
docker run -i rumors-lines-mcp

    Scored across 4 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a distinct action: list_collections enumerates collections, get_lines retrieves lines for a given collection URL, random_line returns a single random line with optional filters, and search_lines performs substring search. The overlap between get_lines and search_lines is minimal because get_lines requires a collection URL while search_lines searches across all lines; an agent can easily choose.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    All names use snake_case and are readable, but random_line breaks the verb_noun pattern used by list_collections, get_lines, and search_lines by using an adjective instead of a verb. This is a minor deviation from an otherwise consistent convention.

    Tool Count5/5

    Four tools are well-scoped for a read-only pick-up line browsing service: discover collections, fetch lines, get a random line, and search. No tool feels redundant or missing for the core purpose.

    Completeness4/5

    The read-only surface covers listing, fetching, random sampling, and text search, which are the primary workflows. Minor gaps include no pagination for large collections or search results and no explicit way to discover available languages/registers beyond collection language metadata, but agents can work around these.
