Storyflo

What is Storyflo?

Storyflo is an official Model Context Protocol server that exposes curated audio news, daily briefings, the public Declassified library (FBI/CIA/NSA/NASA/DOJ/AARO releases), and market-linked story signals as a callable surface for any LLM agent. It is built for developers integrating AI assistants with Storyflo’s platform and provides a zero-dependency stdio bridge that relays MCP JSON-RPC between a local client and a hosted streamable-http endpoint.

How to use Storyflo?

Install Storyflo via one-click links for Cursor, VS Code, or Claude Desktop, or manually with claude mcp add --transport http storyflo https://api.storyflo.com/mcp/v1. Run the stdio bridge using npx storyflo-mcp or Docker (docker run -i --rm storyflo-mcp). Optionally set the STORYFLO_TOKEN environment variable for authenticated tool calls; discovery works anonymously.
