Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant browse ranked tech news story clusters, search coverage and editorial articles, and track trends, timelines and industry events.

What you can do
Provides tools over TechSnif's tech news feed: top stories sorted by rank or recency, full story clusters with coverage links from multiple outlets and links to social discussion, and full-text search over stories and editorial articles. It also returns trending stories by velocity, ranking history timelines, change feeds for polling, source and author leaderboards, tracked companies, people and products, and upcoming tech events.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs current tech news context, cross-outlet coverage of a story, or trend and momentum signals, and for monitoring the feed incrementally through the change feed.
Requirements
Runs as a remote streamable HTTP endpoint or as a local npm package started with npx (Node.js). No authentication is declared. The optional TECHSNIF_API_URL environment variable overrides the API base URL.
Before you install
No credentials are requested, but queries and search terms go to a third-party news service. The tools described are read-only; no writing, sending or deleting actions are listed.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open TechSnif in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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/com.techsnif%2Fmcp/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.

get_top_stories

Top stories

Get tech story clusters from across the web. Each story aggregates coverage from multiple outlets (TechCrunch, The Verge, NYT, TechSnif, etc.) and includes links to social discussion (tweets, Reddit threads, LinkedIn posts). Sort by rank (prominence) or newest (most recently seen). Optionally filter by headline tier (1=standard, 2=major, 3=top story), publisher name, discussion platform, topic, or a "since" timestamp, and paginate with offset. Use get_story when you need full details or article body text.

Story detail

Get full details of a story cluster by slug, including all coverage links from every outlet (TechCrunch, NYT, TechSnif, etc.), direct URLs to social discussion posts (exact tweets, Reddit threads, LinkedIn posts, Bluesky posts), and the full TechSnif article text if available. Use this to answer "show me the tweets about this story" or "what outlets covered this". Filter discussion by platform, coverage by publisher, or use brief mode to skip the article body.
