CourierPR missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

desks
list_desks
The six newsroom desks and the twenty categories under them, with slugs and links. Use it to resolve a topic the user named ('tech', 'health') into a desk or category before calling latest_releases. Returns no releases.
fetch
fetch
Connector-style fetch of one press release by the id from search. Same summary as get_release.
how
how_to_file
What filing a release on CourierPR involves: what is accepted (the press code) and the links to file, for agencies and for journalists. Use it when the user asks how to publish or distribute a press release. Returns links only; it does not file anything.
latest
latest_releases
The newest published press releases, optionally within one desk or one category. Use it for 'what is new in tech', 'latest funding announcements', 'recent releases on CourierPR'. Each result is a title, company, date, short summary and a link; the full text is on the linked page. Limitation: at most 10 per call, newest first, no date filter.
release
get_release
One published press release by slug (the last part of its URL) or by its full courierpr.com URL: title, company, category, dateline, date, the opening 120 words and a link to the full release. Use it after a search or list result when the user wants more on one item. Limitation: returns a summary, not the full text; media contact details are never included and are on the page behind a human check.
releases
search_releases
Full-text search over every published press release (title and body), optionally within one category. Use it when the user names a company, product, person or topic. Returns short summaries with links; the full text is on the linked page. Limitation: English full-text matching, at most 10 results, no date filter.
search
search
Connector-style search over published press releases. Returns ids for fetch. Prefer search_releases when you can filter by category.

CourierPR — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can CourierPR do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: fetch, get_release, how_to_file, latest_releases, list_desks, search and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is CourierPR working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 216 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect CourierPR?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does CourierPR need an API key?
No. CourierPR completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is CourierPR?
It answers our handshake in 216 ms on average, which is faster than 65% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
