README

CTC Monitor MCP

Most AI assistants see the internet through a narrow US-tech-Twitter lens. CTC Monitor pulls stories from 500+ sources across China, South-East Asia, India, MENA, Africa, Latin America, Europe, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and the Pacific, scores them for velocity and geographic novelty, caps western-source dominance, and translates non-English headlines. Your agent gets a genuinely global view of what's moving in tech.

What you get

Seven tools, plain JSON-RPC over stdio. Ask your agent things like:

"What's breaking in cloud and AI across Asia today?"
"Summarise the last 24 hours from China, Korea, and Taiwan."
"Search everything we've indexed for 'post-quantum cryptography'."
"Which countries have the most stories right now, and what's the top headline in each?"
"Give me the propagation picture for cluster 4812."

Tool	Does what
`get_stories`	Top-scored stories, optionally filtered by region or category. Western sources capped so you don't get a US-only feed.
`search_stories`	Full-text search across every indexed story, including translated titles.
`get_stats`	Seven-day rolling overview: story counts, regions, categories, top sources, highest scorers.
`get_map`	Geographic distribution: which countries are hot, story counts, top headline per country.
`get_cluster`	Detailed view of a story cluster — related items, blast radius, velocity, propagation tag.
`get_regions`	Lists every region key and category the feed supports.
`get_digest`	Pass an array of regions, get a summarised digest per region in one call.

Stories carry their original source, translated title where applicable, region, country, category, a relevance score, a cluster ID, a velocity score, and a propagation tag for how the story is spreading.

Install

npm install -g ctc-monitor-mcp

Or run without installing:

npx ctc-monitor-mcp

Get an API key

The feed is free. You need a key so we can rate-limit fairly and so the digest emails know where to go.

Go to https://www.comparethecloud.net/monitor
Sign in with a work email. A verification link lands in your inbox.
Click it. Your API key is auto-generated and emailed to you. Save it somewhere safe; it isn't shown again in plain text.

Work emails only. Personal inboxes (gmail, outlook, yahoo and the like) are blocked at registration.

Wire it up

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or the equivalent on your OS:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ctc-monitor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["ctc-monitor-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CTC_MONITOR_API_KEY": "nk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The tools appear in the tool menu.

Cursor / Windsurf / Zed

In the MCP settings panel, add a server entry with:

Command: npx
Arguments: ctc-monitor-mcp
Environment: CTC_MONITOR_API_KEY=nk_your_key_here

Anywhere else

If your client takes an MCP stdio command, run:

CTC_MONITOR_API_KEY=nk_your_key_here npx ctc-monitor-mcp

Rate limits

100 requests per minute per key. Plenty for interactive use; if you're building something higher-volume, get in touch via the site and we'll talk.

What the data looks like

A typical get_stories call comes back grouped by region, with featured CTC/Disruptive Live content at the top, then region sections ordered so you see non-western markets before western coverage:
