Syften MCP tools (8)
As the server lists them. Names and descriptions are the vendor's own.
-
get_monitoring_configReturn the authenticated Syften account's monitoring configuration, including plan limits, enabled communities, main filters, Twitter/X filters, YouTube filters, and monitored Slack communities.
-
get_delivery_configReturn the authenticated Syften account's alert delivery configuration, including email, Slack, webhook, and RSS status. Secrets and bearer tokens are not returned.
-
get_filter_healthReturn filter and delivery health diagnostics using Syften's existing linter for main, Twitter/X, and YouTube filters plus delivery configuration checks.
-
get_filter_syntaxReturn a concise reference for Syften main filter syntax, including supported operators, composition rules, MCP-specific usage notes, examples, and unsupported syntax.
-
preview_filterSearch Syften's archive with a proposed main filter. Returns lint diagnostics, approximate archive hit counts, a live-filtered sample of matching public conversations, and quota usage. Pro includes 1,000,000 fetched items per calendar month shared with REST archive searches; items removed by filtering also count. Start with cursor set to an empty string, then pass next_cursor as cursor to page backward. Continue while next_cursor is present, even when live filtering leaves an empty items array. Twitter/X and YouTube add-on filters are not included.
-
set_filtersReplace one or more configured filter sources for the authenticated Syften account. Omitted sources remain unchanged; an empty array clears that source. This changes account configuration and may remove existing filters. Ask for explicit user approval immediately before every call, even if the filters were previously discussed, planned, or previewed.
-
get_matchesReturn stored Syften matches for the authenticated account, including each match's id and seen status. Fetching does not mark matches seen. Use set_match_seen to update their status. By default returns the last 100 matches across all filters and AI verdict states. Optionally select an exact configured account filter, search match content with Syften filter syntax, choose an AI verdict state, and/or set an RFC3339 or relative time range. Start with cursor set to an empty string, then pass next_cursor as cursor to page backward without skipping matches with identical timestamps.
-
set_match_seenMark one stored match in the authenticated account as seen or unseen. Use the id returned by get_matches. Returns the id and updated seen status.
