CTC Monitor MCP exposes a global tech-news intelligence feed over MCP, returning clustered, translated, and region-aware stories from hundreds of sources. It supports tools for retrieving top stories, searching the index, viewing stats and maps, inspecting clusters, listing regions, and generating per-region digests.
From the registry: Global tech news from 500+ sources — China, SEA, India, MENA, Africa, LatAm, Europe.
Please install the `ctc-monitor-mcp` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).
Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install Node.js and npm** — Node.js and npm are required to run the server via npx or install it globally with npm.
- **Get a CTC Monitor API key** — Sign in at the Compare the Cloud Monitor site with a work email, verify your email, and save the generated API key. Personal email providers are not accepted. (https://www.comparethecloud.net/monitor)
Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `npx`
- args: ["ctc-monitor-mcp"]
- required environment variables:
- `CTC_MONITOR_API_KEY`: API key for accessing the CTC Monitor feed. (example: `<your-api-key>`)
Note: The README also offers `npm install -g ctc-monitor-mcp`, but the simplest portable setup is to run it via `npx ctc-monitor-mcp`. The server communicates over stdio using JSON-RPC.
Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.CTC_MONITOR_API_KEYrequiredAPI key used for rate limiting and authenticating access to the CTC Monitor feed.MCP server for searching Airweave collections with natural language queries.
