# MarsBit OpenNews Skill (Directly Usable)

This skill is designed to work immediately after installation using the hosted
MCP endpoint.

MCP endpoint:
- `https://www.marsbit.co/api/mcp`

Use this endpoint in all commands:

```bash
MCP_URL="https://www.marsbit.co/api/mcp"
```

## Runtime rules

When user asks for MarsBit news/flash info, call MCP tools via `curl` directly.

Required headers for every MCP POST:
- `Content-Type: application/json`
- `Accept: application/json, text/event-stream`
- `mcp-protocol-version: 2025-11-25`

Response parsing:
- MCP wraps tool output in `result.content[0].text`
- `text` is a JSON string; parse it before answering
- If `success` is `false`, surface the error and ask user whether to retry with different params

## Tool calls

## Intent -> tool routing

- Latest news -> `get_latest_news`
- News channels -> `get_news_channels`
- Keyword news search -> `search_news`
- One news detail -> `get_news_detail`
- Related by news id -> `get_related_news`
- Latest flash -> `get_latest_flash`
- Keyword flash search -> `search_flash`

## Backend architecture alignment

This skill relies on the current `marsbit-co` hosted MCP implementation (`/api/mcp`), which internally uses:
- `fetcher(..., { marsBit: true })` in `src/lib/utils.ts`
- News APIs: `/info/news/channels`, `/info/news/shownews`, `/info/news/getbyid`, `/info/news/v2/relatednews`
- Flash API: `/info/lives/showlives`
- Search API: `/info/assist/querySimilarityInfo` (via `src/lib/db-marsbit/agent`)
