What is the Curated MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Curated MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Curated account. It provides structured and secure access to your newsletters, letting your agent manage publications, curate content, draft issues, and handle subscribers for you.

  • Draft issue creation: Let your agent create new draft issues for any of your newsletters, making it easy to start new editions with the right content and settings.
  • Curated link collection: Easily add new links, articles, or resources to your publication's collection, so your newsletter always has fresh, relevant content.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Curated MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Curated tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Curated and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Curated tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Curated scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.
