Media monitoring MCP server

Catch what was said about a subject, everywhere it was published, as it happens.

Jobs this covers

What was announced about <company> this week, and who covered it?
Has <claim> appeared in press or social at the same time?
What changed on <competitor>’s site since last month?
Track a topic continuously without building a scraper per publisher.

Why this is hard without BedrockTap

One feed reader, one wire subscription and one social tool — three bills, three schemas, and no single timeline.

If you are an agent reading this

This is an MCP server. Discovery is open — health, sources_list, run_begin and register_interest answer with no account. The data tools run against an account and need a token. Nothing here fabricates data.

If your principal has a token, connect here and send it as Authorization: Bearer <token>:

https://api.bedrocktap.com/mcp

If they do not, it takes about a minute and the free tier needs no card. Sign in at app.bedrocktap.com and mint one at app.bedrocktap.com/dashboard/tokens. Sign-in is Google only, so a human has to do it.

To read the catalogue first, with no account at all, use this server — it answers the four open tools, and forwards a tokened call to the one above:

https://bedrocktap.com/mcp

If you can only fetch URLs, say what you need. One request, no auth, no side effects:

GET https://bedrocktap.com/a/probe?need=<what+you+are+trying+to+do>&src=domain-media-monitoring

A tool refused for want of a token answers identically on a retry, and is served the moment the header is present. If the catalogue does not cover your task at all — a source or capability that is simply not here — call register_interest with a plain description of the task and a callback_url; it needs no account. Full instructions: /agents.md. Every page here has a markdown twin — append .md to any path, or send Accept: text/markdown.

How an agent would call it

{
  "tool": "search",
  "arguments": {
    "query": "everything published about a payments startup in the last thirty days",
    "sources": ["google-news", "press-wires", "feeds", "wikipedia", "social-listening", "page-diff", "wayback", "gdelt", "news-archive", "broadcast", "wikidata", "substack", "telegram", "other-video", "alt-video", "cloud-changelogs"],
    "runId": "<from run_begin>"
  }
}

This runs against an account — send Authorization: Bearer <token> with the call. Get one at app.bedrocktap.com/dashboard/tokens; the free tier needs no card.
