MCP Server — Early Access

Let Claude and Cursor brief articles for you.

Sornic's MCP server lets any AI agent turn article URLs into structured briefings — summary, key takeaways, topics, and difficulty — without leaving your workflow.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI assistants like Claude call external tools directly. Instead of copying article URLs, switching tabs, and pasting summaries back — your AI does it in one step. You just ask.

Available tools

sornic_briefingMain tool

URL → full briefing. Summary, takeaways, topics, difficulty, listen time. Use this for almost everything.

Input: { url: string }
sornic_summarize

URL → summary + takeaways only. Faster, uses fewer credits.

Input: { url: string }
sornic_extract

URL → clean article text. Removes ads, nav, and boilerplate. Useful for feeding text into other tools.

Input: { url: string }
