Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server from Pressfront that lets an assistant trace online stories: who started them, who spread them, and what people are saying across X, Bluesky…

What you can do
  • Trace the origin of a story circulating online
  • See who amplified or spread a story across social networks
  • Retrieve what people are saying about a topic on X, Bluesky and other networks
  • No tool list is published, so exact operations are not documented; capabilities are inferred from the provider's description of social monitoring.
When to use it
Useful when you need to follow a narrative or claim across social platforms and want the assistant to identify originators and amplifiers rather than just search the web. Suited to social listening, misinformation tracking and audience research.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at pressfront.co; no local package. Authentication is required: an OAuth sign-in with Pressfront, or an Authorization header carrying a Pressfront API key obtained from the account settings page.
Before you install
The server requires a Pressfront account and a live API key or OAuth grant, so access is tied to your account. It reports on social media posts and the people behind them, which may include personal data about third parties; consider privacy and platform terms before storing or acting on results. Tool behavior is undocumented here, so verify what it reads or writes before relying on it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Pressfront Trace in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/co.pressfront%2Ftrace/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Tools

This server asks you to sign in, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without an account and has not indexed them. What a connected account sees can depend on that account and its permissions.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
