Sell The News skill
Use this skill to interact with the official Sell The News hosted endpoint:
- Endpoint:
https://mcp.sellthenews.org/mcp
- Protocol: Streamable HTTP
- Auth: none
Use the bundled shell wrappers instead of reimplementing ad hoc HTTP calls.
Workflow
- Use
scripts/stn_mcp_call.sh <tool_name> [json_args] for generic calls.
- Prefer the per-tool wrappers when the requested operation maps directly.
- If a user reports connection issues in another client, check protocol mismatch first:
- this server uses Streamable HTTP
- do not configure it as SSE
- If a direct MCP client is unavailable, these shell wrappers are the fallback.

Notes
- Use
curl for transport. In testing, curl worked while some simpler HTTP clients hit Cloudflare friction.
- The wrapper performs a short-lived MCP initialize request followed by a tool call.
- The server returns
text/event-stream; the wrapper extracts JSON from data: lines.
- Keep requests read-only. This MCP is for retrieval/analysis.
