articles
sr_get_articles
List Streaming Radar newsletter articles with optional filters. Returns title, subtitle, status, type, views, open_rate, editorial_angle, and clickable links. Free access — no API key required.
sr_search_articles
Full-text search across Streaming Radar articles, or — with mode=coverage — check whether a topic is already covered in the published corpus using semantic similarity (SR_CORPUS Vectorize index).
mode=search (default): full-text search on title, subtitle, editorial_angle. Free access, no API key required.
mode=coverage: semantic anti-redite + auto-citation check via vector similarity over the published corpus. Returns a channel-weighted verdict (DÉJÀ TRAITÉ / EFFLEURÉ / NEUF — only PUBLISHED pieces can block; briefs are non-blocking signals), plus citable hits (url + excerpt) for self-citation. Also returns a facts array: passages ALREADY PUBLISHED in the body of a piece that carry the same rare terms as the query — non-blocking, but they must be cited rather than re-announced as news. Requires SR_CORPUS and Workers AI. Free access.
story
story_list_genres
List all available genre tiers (Proven / Growing / Emerging) and hybrid combinations for the vertical drama story bible generator.
story_list_markets
List all target markets with audience profiles and top genres for the vertical drama story bible generator.
article
sr_get_article
Get a single Streaming Radar article by ID or edition number, including content_markdown when the full body exists in hub.published_pieces, linked experts, and editorial angle. Free access — no API key required.
data
check_data_coverage
Check what sourced data Streaming Lens holds on a company, market, country or topic — WITHOUT returning the values. Returns how many datapoints match, which reports they sit in, which countries and years they cover, the confidence mix, when the most recent one was updated, and one sample datapoint with its metric name, unit, country, source and confidence but its value withheld. Use this to tell a user whether the answer to their question exists in the database and what it would take to read it. Matching is word-bounded, so short acronyms do not match inside longer words. Free access — no API key required. The values themselves are behind the paid MCP server; the response says where.
expert
sr_get_expert
Get a single expert by ID or name (partial match), including their linked articles. Free access — no API key required.
experts
sr_get_experts
List experts cited in the Streaming Radar newsletter with optional filters by tier or country. Free access — no API key required.
new
sr_get_new_since
Get articles published since a given date, ordered by publication date descending. Free access — no API key required.
tags
sr_get_tags
List tags used in the Streaming Radar newsletter, optionally filtered by category. Free access — no API key required.
tools
search_tools
Search the full MCP catalog for tools not in the core set. Returns matching tools with their full schemas, ready to call via tools/call. Use when the user request maps to a capability not in the core set. Keywords can be: tool name fragment (e.g. "ingest_bulk"), domain (africa, vi, piracy, ce, sports, crm, admin), or action (list, get, create, compare).

Streaming Radar — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Streaming Radar do?
It exposes 11 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_data_coverage, search_tools, sr_get_article, sr_get_articles, sr_get_expert, sr_get_experts and 5 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 →
What is Streaming Radar mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around story and articles. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Streaming Radar working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 87 of 91 checks got a reply (95.6%), average response time 524 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Streaming Radar as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Streaming Radar?
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 Streaming Radar need an API key?
No. Streaming Radar completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Streaming Radar?
It answers our handshake in 524 ms on average, which is faster than 29% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
