niche_signal_scanLABSCO SUMMARY
Reconnect after any change, or you are reading a stale tool list.
Clients cache both the credentials and the tool list at connect time, so a new token or a new tool only appears after a restart or a new thread — and niche_whoami will enumerate what you are missing. The claim worth checking is the grounding: every response ships a source-faithfulness score and an ungrounded-claim list, so you can see what is not backed rather than take it on trust. Publishing is a dry run unless you say otherwise.
What it is
An editorial intelligence server. It reads primary-source signal, surfaces emerging stories in a subject area, ranks the strongest angle, and carries that through to a draft and the visuals — grounded in real sources rather than generated from the model's own recall.
What you get
- Discovery:
niche_signal_scanreturns a ranked story slate with provenance,niche_intelligence_queryanswers analyst-shaped questions with narratives and patterns,niche_session_statepolls a run, andniche_angle_proposeranks the angles worth publishing - Drafting:
niche_draft_create,niche_draft_reviseandniche_draft_publish, which dry-runs by default, plusniche_draft_directto skip research and write from your own take or a URL - Rendering:
niche_render_image_card,niche_render_reel,niche_attach_imageandniche_reuse_asset, with four background modes —photo,design,svgandbrand_color - Brand and voice profiles, a brand kit ingest with guided setup, and session operations — list, revert, cancel, export
niche_whoamireturns the full tool catalogue with the live count, plus your plan, credit balance, the capability map and brand state, in one read-only call- Every response carries a trust block: verifier audit, source-faithfulness score, the list of ungrounded claims, and source-diversity and recency checks
Requirements
A remote server at https://api.nicheangle.com/mcp, version 1.4.0, with nothing to install. Claude Desktop and Claude Code add it as an HTTP connector and sign in over OAuth. For headless or scripted use, issue a Personal Access Token in your account settings — it starts with niche_sk_ — and pass it as a bearer token; in Codex, bearer_token_env_var takes the name of the environment variable holding it, not the token itself. Discovery metadata is published under /.well-known so compliant clients can self-configure.

USE CASES
01
Deciding what to write about this week
Scan a subject area and get a ranked slate of stories with the sources behind each one.
02
Asking an analyst-shaped question
Get the biggest developments plus the non-obvious narratives underneath them, grounded in sources.
03
Taking one story from angle to published post
Rank the angles, draft, revise, and publish — with the publish step dry-running by default.
04
Producing the visual without a design tool
Render an image card or a reel, or author the card yourself as SVG for exact, deterministic output.
05
Finding out what your connection actually exposes
One read-only call returns the full catalogue, your plan, your credit balance and your brand state.
