## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 97/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
  - The authorisation server supports Client ID Metadata Documents, the current MCP client-registration mechanism.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 79/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 7299 tokens (~104/item across 70 items; 70 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 63/100
  - Stability observed for 19 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 99/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 97% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - All 7 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 70 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (70)

### `get_stream_posts` (~186 tokens)

Read stream posts

Read one page of stored posts from an accessible Synoptic stream, newest first. Requires authentication and permission to read its posts; custom-target restrictions apply. Returns up to 50 posts with an optional continuation token. Use date bounds for historical updates or search_stream_posts for text queries. This call reads existing content and does not start monitoring or fetch external sources.

Input parameters:

- `fromDate` (string): Inclusive lower bound on post createdAt, as ISO 8601 with a timezone
- `id` (string, required): Synoptic stream ID from search or streams_all
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of posts in this page; defaults to 10

- `toDate` (string): Inclusive upper bound on post createdAt, as ISO 8601 with a timezone

Output parameters:

- `items` (array): Stored posts in this page, newest first
- `nextToken` (string): Continuation token for older posts; omitted when this query has no further page

### `streams_all` (~134 tokens)

Browse public streams

List one page of active public streams in the Synoptic catalog without signing in. Returns stored stream metadata, optionally filtered by minimum follower count. Use nextToken to continue browsing, search to find a source or topic, and get_stream to inspect a result. Listing a stream does not follow it or grant access to its posts.

- `stream` (object)

### `publish_stream` (~79 tokens)

Publish stream

Publish an owned draft stream, setting its state to ACTIVE. May notify users; the returned state is authoritative. Publishing can’t be undone through MCP. Use create_stream_post to add posts.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): ID of a DRAFT stream you own. It needs at least one post from create_stream_post unless it is a custom-target stream.

Output parameters:

- `stream` (object)

### `delete_stream` (~77 tokens)

Delete stream

Delete an owned free stream. Unfollows and notifies its followers, removes it from collections, API key publish permissions and source routes, and cannot be undone. Paid streams can only be deleted in the Synoptic app. Requires the exact stream ID.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): ID of a free stream you own, from streams_created.

Output parameters:

- `success` (boolean)

### `get_stream_custom_targets` (~84 tokens)

Read stream targets

Read configured custom-target values for an accessible stream, such as the selected accounts, channels, repositories, or tracking criteria supported by that feed. Use get_stream for target-format instructions. Followers receive their own selections; the stream owner receives the union of all followers’ targets. Confirms saved selections, not collector health or delivery timing.

Input parameters:

- `streamId` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `customTargets` (array)

### `set_stream_custom_targets` (~249 tokens)

Replace Synoptic stream targets

Replace the signed-in user’s selected targets on a Synoptic custom-target stream and return the saved list. Targets, such as accounts, channels, repositories, or keywords in the format get_stream describes, choose which of the stream’s posts the user receives. Posts for removed targets stop appearing in the user’s stream reads, post searches, and WebSocket API delivery, and in open Synoptic app feeds after they reconnect; an empty list leaves none. Removed targets are then also removed from the user’s collection sources limited to specific targets, and such a source left with no targets is deleted. The stream’s owner receives all followers’ targets and may use them to decide what to collect. Requires an active direct subscription; values must match the stream’s target format and fit the subscription’s target allowance. Does not purchase access or confirm that targets are collected.

Input parameters:

- `customTargets` (array, required): Complete replacement list in the stream’s required target format. An empty array clears all selections. Use get_stream_custom_targets to inspect saved values or patch_stream_custom_targets for a narr…
- `streamId` (string, required): ID of an existing custom-target stream. Use get_stream to read its target-format instructions.

Output parameters:

- `customTargets` (array)

### `patch_stream_custom_targets` (~278 tokens)

Add or remove Synoptic stream targets

Add or remove targets in the signed-in user’s selection on a Synoptic custom-target stream, keeping other targets, and return the resulting list. Targets, such as accounts, channels, repositories, or keywords in the format get_stream describes, choose which of the stream’s posts the user receives. Posts for removed targets stop appearing in the user’s stream reads, post searches, and WebSocket API delivery, and in open Synoptic app feeds after they reconnect. Removed targets are then also removed from the user’s collection sources limited to specific targets, and such a source left with no targets is deleted. The stream’s owner receives all followers’ targets and may use them to decide what to collect. Requires following the stream and an active direct subscription; every resulting target, including existing ones, must match the stream’s target format, and the list must fit the subscription’s target allowance. Does not purchase access or confirm that targets are collected.

Input parameters:

- `add` (array): Target values to add in the stream’s required format. Existing values are retained. A value in both add and remove remains selected.
- `remove` (array): Saved target values to remove. At least one of add or remove must contain a value.

## Common questions

### What is the Synoptic MCP server?

Synoptic is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.synoptic/synoptic. Follow live feeds from Twitter/X, Telegram, press releases, SEC filings and more; publish your own. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.api.synoptic.com/mcp).

### Is the Synoptic MCP server safe to use?

Synoptic scores 90 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Synoptic MCP server expose?

Synoptic exposes 70 tools: get_stream_posts, streams_all, search, get_stream, fetch, and 65 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 7,299 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Synoptic MCP server require authentication?

Yes. Synoptic asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

### Is the Synoptic MCP server still maintained?

Synoptic is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
