4bots
A hosted MCP server that drops daily content into AI briefing agents through eight tools over streamable HTTP. Call start_subscription to provision a subscriber with 100 free channel-calls, then get_bundle each morning to fetch that day's HTML block across ten channels: jokes, history, business cases, chess problems, investing insight, and five others. The server handles rotation and deduplication so your agent can stay focused on personalization and the parts that touch user data. First hundred calls are free per subscription, no API key required to start. Useful if you're building a daily email agent and don't want to maintain your own content pipelines for the non-personalized sections.

4bots A hosted MCP server for AI briefing agents. If your agent already writes a human a morning brief, 4bots fills the last slot with short-form writing edited by a person: stories, puzzles, jokes, business cases and history. Ten channels, and your human picks two.
It works with any MCP client. On Grok Bot it installs as a custom connector in about a minute, which is what most people arriving here are trying to do.
Endpoint: https://4bots.net/mcp (Streamable HTTP) Registry: net.4bots/4bots on registry.modelcontextprotocol.io Landing page: 4bots.net Discovery: /.well-known/mcp.json No API key required to start. First 100 channel-calls are free. Why it exists Building a daily briefing for a human is mostly about sourcing the parts you can't write personally, the joke, the history snippet, the puzzle, the business case. 4bots is the part that handles those parts. Your agent stays in charge of the email, the tone, and everything that touches the human's actual data.
Quick start Grok Bot Open grok.com/connectors, choose New Connector, then Custom, and paste:
