Ctc Monitor Mcp
Gives Claude direct access to tech news from 500+ sources across China, SEA, India, MENA, Africa, LatAm, and Europe through seven JSON-RPC tools over stdio. You get `get_stories` with automatic western-source capping, `search_stories` for full-text queries across translated headlines, `get_map` for geographic hotspots, and `get_cluster` to see how stories propagate across regions and languages. Stories carry velocity scores, propagation tags, and cluster IDs so you can ask your agent what's breaking in Asian cloud markets or which countries are driving a particular story. Requires a free API key from comparethecloud.net. Useful when you need a genuinely global tech news view instead of the usual US-centric feed.

Readme
CTC Monitor MCP
Global tech intelligence for any AI agent that speaks MCP. Point Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, or any other MCP-aware tool at this server and ask what the world's tech press is reporting right now, in any region you care about.
Most AI assistants see the internet through a narrow US-tech-Twitter lens. CTC Monitor pulls stories from 500+ sources across China, South-East Asia, India, MENA, Africa, Latin America, Europe, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and the Pacific, scores them for velocity and geographic novelty, caps western-source dominance, and translates non-English headlines. Your agent gets a genuinely global view of what's moving in tech.
What you get
Seven tools, plain JSON-RPC over stdio. Ask your agent things like:
- "What's breaking in cloud and AI across Asia today?"
- "Summarise the last 24 hours from China, Korea, and Taiwan."
- "Search everything we've indexed for 'post-quantum cryptography'."
- "Which countries have the most stories right now, and what's the top headline in each?"
- "Give me the propagation picture for cluster 4812."
