Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Broadcast every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 9

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

media

media_closed

Channels that have shut down, with the date they closed. Useful for checking whether a channel a model remembers still exists.

media_freshness

How current this dataset is: when each source last ran, how many assertions are live versus expired, and the gaps we know we have.

media_outlets

Search stations, networks and streaming channels by name, callsign, network or owner. Returns licence status, transmitter power and antenna height where filed.

media_receivable

Which television transmitters reach a specific latitude and longitude, graded by real terrain between the tower and that point. Answers "what can I actually watch from here", which listings services cannot.

media_sources

Where the data comes from, each with its licence and whether it may be redistributed.

media_station_readiness

Whether a US television station website can be read by an AI assistant: which AI crawlers it blocks by name in robots.txt, whether it publishes llms.txt or /.well-known/ai, and whether it has structured data. Pass a callsign for one station, or nothing for the industry-wide summary broken down by owner group.

media_still_true

Is a remembered claim about a programme still current? Returns when it was observed, whether it has expired, and what replaced it. This is the question a model cannot answer about its own training data.

media_verify

Verify a signed record from this service. Pass an airing_id, or pass back a record you cached earlier with its signature and we will confirm it is byte-identical to what we signed. The public key and exact canonicalisation are at /.well-known/dtv-intel-signing.json so you can also verify offline without calling us.

media_whats_on

What is airing right now, or at a given time. Returns programmes with descriptions and, for each, when the claim was observed and when it expires. Accepts free text.

Broadcast — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Broadcast do?

It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: media_closed, media_freshness, media_outlets, media_receivable, media_sources, media_station_readiness and 3 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 Broadcast working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 23 of 23 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 953 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Broadcast?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Broadcast need an API key?

No. Broadcast completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Broadcast?

It answers our handshake in 953 ms on average, which is faster than 11% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
