News is an MCP server with 14 tools an agent can call, among them acknowledge_watch, create_watch, discover_events. It answers at https://probable.media/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 12 September 2026; the last check, on 24 October 2026, succeeded.
Cited news briefs and observed-corpus context. Free public reads; archives $0.10 or seven for $0.50.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
acknowledge_watch | Mark all currently unread matches on one owned watch as read. Requires watches:write and an Idempotency-Key. Inputs: watchId, idempotencyKey |
create_watch | Create a Founding Pro saved watch. Requires watches:write; repeat the same Idempotency-Key to safely replay the same request. Inputs: name, mode, category, eventClass, threshold, active |
discover_events | Use to rank cited events in the latest completed edition by probable, rare, or overweighted mode. Keep research priors separate from measured current-edition counts. Do not describe the result as a forecast or a probability that an event oc Inputs: mode, category, limit |
export_edition | Export an edition as source-grounded Markdown or CSV. Requires member authorization with exports:read and an active Founding Pro entitlement. Inputs: date, category, format |
get_brief | Use for a current news brief or catch-up job. Return a five-story cited brief diversified across category, event class, and publisher by default. Use chronological or all for stable cursor paging. A balanced resumeCursor continues as a comp Inputs: topic, category, limit, mode, since, cursor |
get_context | Use when a user supplies a headline or a source URL already observed by Probable and wants same-class context. Optional referenceContext adds explicit country, magnitude, industry or aviation scope for primary-source population references; |
get_membership | Return Free and Founding Pro terms and available Stripe-hosted checkout URLs. Calling this tool does not open checkout or claim payment success. |
list_classes | Return the versioned category and event-class catalog used by score_headline. The editorial index is a legacy comparison weight, not an empirical probability. |
list_editions | List every stored edition with public metadata, free/paid status, exact prices, and the URLs that can unlock paid content. |
list_watches | List the member's saved monitors and recent matches. Requires member authorization with watches:read and an active Founding Pro entitlement. |
read_edition_by_date | Read a stored edition inside the seven-day public window. Older editions return an access boundary and links; this tool never bypasses membership or payment. Inputs: date, category |
read_latest_edition | Read the latest source-grounded Probable edition. Every replacement is a different event observed in the same scan and category with a higher editorial comparison index; that index is not a measured occurrence rate. Inputs: category |
score_headline | Classify one supplied headline and inspect coverage recurrence. Optional referenceContext adds explicit country, magnitude, industry or aviation scope. When sufficiently scoped, occurrenceReference separately supplies primary-source counts, Inputs: title, referenceContext |
update_watch | Update fields on one owned Founding Pro watch. Requires watches:write and an Idempotency-Key. Inputs: watchId, name, mode, category, eventClass, threshold |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://probable.media/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
Publisher: media.probable. Endpoint host: probable.media. ARD identifier: urn:air:media.probable:mcp:news.
First indexed 10 September 2026. The tools are exactly what the server returned; nothing on this page
is inferred from its name. Ranking in Neuronto search is never for sale.
