# Reletter MCP Server

Give AI agents and LLMs access to newsletter data from [Reletter](https://reletter.com). Search 7M+ email newsletters across **Substack**, **LinkedIn**, **Ghost**, **Beehiiv**, and **Kit**. Fetch metadata, contacts, issues, and chart rankings.

This is a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor to the [Reletter API](https://reletter.com/developers).

## Setup

You need a Reletter API key. [Get one here](https://reletter.com/developers).

For autonomous agents that want to provision a key without a human in the loop, Reletter implements the [Machine Payments Protocol](https://mpp.dev). Hit `POST https://api.reletter.com/api/payments/buy/` to get a 402 challenge, pay with a Stripe Shared Payment Token or with USDC on Tempo, and the response carries an API key tied to a freshly-provisioned account. Current bundle tiers: `GET https://api.reletter.com/api/payments/bundles/`. See https://reletter.com/llms-full.txt for the full flow.
