get_account_infoLABSCO SUMMARY
Boolean queries are why this beats clicking through the dashboard.
A brand name that is also an ordinary word makes keyword alerts useless. Here the advanced alert takes boolean syntax and the mentions come back in the same session, so the query can be tightened and re-checked in one pass.
What it is
An MCP server for the Mention social-listening API: create and edit monitoring alerts, pause and resume them, and fetch the mentions and statistics they produce.
What you get
- An alert created from simple keywords, or from boolean query syntax when simple matching catches too much (create_basic_alert, create_advanced_alert)
- An existing alert's criteria and settings changed, and monitoring paused or resumed (update_alert, pause_alert, unpause_alert)
- Alerts listed with pagination, and one alert read in detail (list_alerts, get_alert)
- Mentions retrieved with filtering, and statistics for an alert (fetch_mentions, fetch_alert_stats)
- Account details and subscription plan, and the languages, countries and sources available (get_account_info, get_app_data)
Requirements
A Mention API key in MCP_MENTION_API_KEY. Runs with npx -y @maelitop/mention-mcp-server.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npx -y @maelitop/mention-mcp-server, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Setting up monitoring for a launch
Check which languages, countries and sources are available, then create the alert.
02
Cutting the noise out of an alert that catches too much
Rewrite it with boolean syntax and read the mentions it returns now.
03
Catching up on what was said this week
Pull the filtered mentions and the alert's statistics together.
04
Quieting monitoring during a break
Pause the alert and resume it when the campaign starts again.
05
Auditing what is being monitored
List the alerts and read the criteria behind the ones that matter.
