How It Works
What is Journalist MCP?
A journalist intelligence API that plugs directly into the AI tools you already use - giving your agent access to real-time media data through natural language.
A journalist intelligence API
Real-time data on journalists, their beats, recent articles, and verified contact details - structured and ready for any workflow.
Connects to your AI tools
Works as an MCP server inside Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible agent. No new UI to learn - just talk to your AI.
Natural language queries
Ask in plain English - "find reporters covering fintech regulation" - instead of wrestling with filters and boolean search.
The Problem
Media databases are broken
Stale data, manual workflows, and zero context on what journalists actually cover today.
Stale coverage data
Legacy databases scrape quarterly and call it current. You're pitching journalists who changed beats six months ago - and wondering why nobody replies.
Spreadsheet-era list building
Copy-pasting names from Google searches into spreadsheets. By the time the list is done, the news cycle has moved on without you.
No beat-level insight
You have no idea what a journalist actually covers until you've read their last 50 articles. Most tools give you a beat label from 2022 and call it done.
Untargeted blast pitching
The same pitch to 200 journalists, hoping someone bites. Open rates crater, domain reputation suffers, and the reporters who matter learn to ignore you.
Capabilities
One API, every workflow
Discovery, validation, list building, and campaign tracking - all accessible through natural language queries to your AI agent.
Semantic Journalist Search
Query by topic, angle, or thesis - not keywords. Returns journalists ranked by how closely their recent coverage matches your pitch, with article-level evidence.
Instant Media Lists
Describe your story angle in plain English. Get a ranked, de-duplicated media list with contact details and coverage rationale in under a minute.
Verified Contact Data
Emails checked against current mastheads and bylines. No more bounced pitches to journalists who left the publication three months ago.
Pitch Analytics
Track opens, clicks, and resulting coverage per journalist. See which angles land and which reporters engage - then iterate on what works.
Composable Workflows
Chain discovery, research, list building, and outreach into repeatable sequences. Your AI agent orchestrates - you review and send.
Integrations
Native in your AI client
Connects via the Model Context Protocol. No dashboard to learn - query journalist data directly from the tools your team already uses.
Claude
Connect Journalist MCP as a tool in Claude. Ask for journalists by topic, publication, or coverage history - get ranked results with article evidence and verified contact details, all inside the conversation.
ChatGPT
The same journalist intelligence, available as a ChatGPT plugin. Build media lists, validate contacts, and draft targeted pitches without leaving the conversation.
We used to spend three days building media lists for a single campaign. Now I ask Claude to pull journalists who covered fintech funding rounds this quarter, and I have a verified list in 20 minutes. Our pitch-to-coverage ratio has doubled.
