Storyflo MCP Server

Official Model Context Protocol server for Storyflo — curated audio news + daily briefings + the public Declassified library (FBI/CIA/NSA/NASA/DOJ/AARO releases) + market-linked story signals, all exposed as a callable surface for any LLM agent.

Claude Desktop one-click .mcpb: for a no-config Claude Desktop install, see the companion extension repo Alisammour/storyflo-mcp-extension.

This repository contains a zero-dependency stdio bridge (src/index.js) that relays MCP JSON-RPC between a local stdio client and the hosted streamable-http endpoint, plus discovery + install references. The Storyflo platform itself is proprietary; agent integration through the public API is the supported surface.

Install — one click

Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http storyflo https://api.storyflo.com/mcp/v1 Any remote client: https://api.storyflo.com/mcp/v1 (streamable-http) · stdio: npx storyflo-mcp

The best tools are free + no-auth — try search_declassified (real FBI/CIA/NSA/NASA cases) in seconds, then earn revenue share by integrating via register_embedder.

Tools

Storyflo exposes 21 tools (20 free + 1 premium) across three auth tiers:

Public (no auth, no OAuth flow needed) — designed so any LLM agent can browse + recommend from a fresh client install without an OAuth handshake:

Note: subscribe_topic, subscribe_declassified_topic, and list_subscriptions are listed as public for discovery; calls that mint/list a listener's feed resolve identity via OAuth bearer when present.

Premium (x402 over USDC on Base mainnet) — get_vertical_briefing: a stitched audio briefing of the top-25 trending articles in a vertical from the last 24h.

The live tool manifest (with full JSON Schema for every parameter) is at /v1/agents/openai-tools.json — the source of truth Glama, OpenAI, and Anthropic introspect.

Declassified library · public · no auth (NEW, 2026-06-20)

The Declassified library is Storyflo's narrated archive of publicly-released government documents from FBI, CIA, NSA, NASA, DOJ, AARO, war.gov, and other agencies. Every case has a narrated audio version, a transcript excerpt, and a source-document link. The 4 tools below traverse the same archive that backs the /declassified FE shelf and the public Declassified RSS feed.

search_declassified · public

Substring search across case title + synopsis. Returns {slug, title, dek, episode_date, duration_sec, agency, category, era, audio_url} per match.

Parameters: query (string, required), limit (int, 1-50, default 10).

get_declassified_case · public

Full case record by slug. Returns {slug, title, dek, summary, transcript_excerpt, episode_date, duration_sec, agency, category, era, cover_url, audio_url, source_doc_url, related_cases:[{slug, title}]}.

Parameters: slug (string, required).

digest_declassified · public

Most-recently-published cases over a rolling window. Returns the same card shape as search_declassified.

Parameters: window (today | week (default) | month), limit (int, 1-50, default 10).

subscribe_declassified_topic · public

Resolves a podcast-feed URL the user can paste into Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or Spotify to receive every new Declassified case automatically. Returns {topic, rss_feed_url, archive_url, episodes_url, matched_so_far, note}. Read-only by design: no DB row is written, no email is stored, the RSS feed IS the subscription.

Parameters: topic (string, required), email (string, optional — informational only, never stored).

search_articles · free

Search Storyflo's curated article corpus by query and/or vertical. Use this when the agent needs to find articles matching a topic before deciding which one to read or play.
