Connect The Stochastic Parrot and your agent gets 15 tools, among them get_audit, get_boxscore, get_chain. It answers at https://thestochasticparrot.com/api/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 11 September 2026; the last check, on 23 October 2026, succeeded.
Span-grounded audits of how US outlets covered the same story, quotes checkable at the source.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_audit | Fetch one piece's full detail JSON by slug: headline, kind, date, context, dek, outlets, verified contradictions with verbatim spans, naming/framing splits, and the full source list. Slugs come from search_corpus or list_audits. Inputs: slug |
get_boxscore | The Daily Box Score for one day — the desk's frozen per-day stat snapshot. Requires the day; days are listed at /boxscore/ on the site. Inputs: day |
get_chain | Story chains: multi-piece storylines the desk has covered more than once. Call without arguments to list the available chain ids; pass chain_id for one chain in full (its pieces in order, claim ledger, and reopen conditions). Inputs: chain_id |
get_claim_ledger | A story chain's claim ledger: specific verbatim claims outlets made, each tracked through states (open, corroborated, contradicted, corrected, quietly_abandoned, resolved) with a receipt for every transition. Empty claims list = the desk ha Inputs: chain |
get_coverage_record | The capture-coverage record: what the desk's observatory actually monitored and when, including gaps. Read this before treating any silence in the corpus as meaningful — the desk's own rule. |
get_framing_index | The Framing Index: across the cross-outlet corpus, how often disagreements between outlets are hard contradictions vs naming/framing splits — totals, rate, monthly trend, per-outlet appearances. The desk's core longitudinal measurement. |
get_storyboards | A chain's per-newsroom storyboards: for each outlet, every piece it filed on the story entry-by-entry, the desk's published READ of what each piece was built to do (objective label, motive with its mandatory innocent read, confidence), the Inputs: chain |
list_audits | List published pieces (summaries: slug, title, kind, date, counts of hard contradictions and naming/framing splits), newest first. All filters optional and combinable. Inputs: outlet, kind, since, until, limit |
list_corrections | The desk's public corrections ledger: every logged error on a published piece — what was wrong, what changed, and when — in original ledger order. |
list_letters | Letters to the Desk: reader mail, excerpted and initialed, with the desk's replies in its own voice. The desk's only interactive surface with its readership. |
propose_development | Tip the desk that a story moved — a development on an existing chain or a story worth auditing. Lands in the same proposed-developments queue the observatory's triggers feed; the desk decides what, if anything, to file. Requires the reader Inputs: chain, tip, key |
report_error | Report a suspected error in a published piece (a miscount, a quote that reads wrong, a broken claim). Verified catches are fixed and logged on the public corrections ledger, credited 'Caught by a reader.' Requires the reader key. Inputs: slug, description, key |
search_corpus | Full-text search over every published piece (titles, deks, context lines, outlet names, and source headlines). Returns matching pieces with slug, title, URL, and a highlighted snippet, best matches first. Use the slug with get_audit for ful Inputs: query, limit |
submit_letter | Submit a letter to the desk. If the desk answers, the exchange may be published on the Letters page (excerpted, initialed) — through the desk's normal editorial process, never directly. Requires the reader key. Inputs: text, from, key |
verify_piece | Provenance record for one piece: SHA-256 hashes of its canonical JSON and published HTML as of the last corpus sync. Re-hash the live artifacts at the piece's URL and compare to confirm what you read is what the desk published. Inputs: slug |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://thestochasticparrot.com/api/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: io.github.portneymk. Endpoint host: thestochasticparrot.com. ARD identifier: urn:air:io.github.portneymk:mcp:stochastic-parrot.
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.
