## MCP tools (3)

### `announce_launch_newsroom` (~458 tokens)

Announce a launch (press release on newsroom page, $1)

Announce a product launch, release, or update with a press release. PRICE: $1 USDC per call. Use when the user says things like "announce my launch", "write a press release", "publish a press release for my product", "announce our new version". Given a product URL, Agent Press Wire drafts a factual 350-450 word AP-style press release from the page and publishes it on a public, search-indexed newsroom page (IndexNow ping to Bing/Yandex). Returns the headline, newsroom URL, and the release in markdown. About 20 seconds. For distribution to real news sites, use distribute_press_release instead. Charges REAL USDC on Base mainnet from the user's own wallet (X402_PRIVATE_KEY) via x402. Two steps: call first WITHOUT confirm_token (or with quote_only=true) to get the price and a confirm_token; show the user the exact price and get explicit approval; then call again with identical parameters and that confirm_token (single use, expires in 10 minutes). It only pays if the price is <= MAX_SPEND_USD, the lifetime total stays <= MAX_TOTAL_SPEND_USD, and the server's payment terms match the pinned Agent Press Wire wallet and price; otherwise it returns the quote without paying. The service only settles payment if the job succeeds.

Input parameters:

- `announcement` (string): What is being announced (launch, new version, feature, funding, milestone). Strongly recommended: without it only news visible on the page is written about, and the call fails uncharged if there is n…
- `company` (string): Optional company or project name.
- `confirm_token` (string): confirm_token from a previous quote of this tool with the exact same parameters, passed only after the user approved the quoted price. Without it the call only quotes.
- `contact` (string): Optional media contact line (name, email or URL) printed at the end.
- `product_url` (string, required): Public URL of the product, launch page, or repo being announced.
- `quote_only` (boolean): If true, never pay: just return the x402 price quote and a confirm_token. Use this first to show the user the price.

### `distribute_press_release` (~572 tokens)

Write and distribute a press release over a newswire ($99 / $299)

Write a press release and distribute it over a newswire to get press coverage. PRICE: tier "wire" = $99 USDC (500+ news sites plus 100+ TV and radio network sites); tier "premium" = $299 USDC (everything in wire plus AP News, USA Today, Barchart, StreetInsider). Use when the user says things like "get press coverage", "write and distribute a press release", "send a press release to news sites", "put out a press release on the wire", "PR distribution". Drafts a 450-600 word AP-style release from the product URL; it goes through editorial review and is distributed, usually same day on weekdays. Returns an order_id; poll get_release_status for live links. Not accepted: crypto token sales, gambling, adult, health/cure claims, cannabis. Charges REAL USDC on Base mainnet from the user's own wallet (X402_PRIVATE_KEY) via x402. Two steps: call first WITHOUT confirm_token (or with quote_only=true) to get the price and a confirm_token; show the user the exact price and get explicit approval; then call again with identical parameters and that confirm_token (single use, expires in 10 minutes). It only pays if the price is <= MAX_SPEND_USD, the lifetime total stays <= MAX_TOTAL_SPEND_USD, and the server's payment terms match the pinned Agent Press Wire wallet and price; otherwise it returns the quote without paying. The service only settles payment if the job succeeds.

Input parameters:

- `announcement` (string): What is being announced (launch, new version, feature, funding, milestone). Strongly recommended: without it only news visible on the page is written about, and the call fails uncharged if there is n…
- `city` (string, required): City of the announcing company (newswire dateline).
- `company` (string): Optional company or project name.
- `confirm_token` (string): confirm_token from a previous quote of this tool with the exact same parameters, passed only after the user approved the quoted price. Without it the call only quotes.
- `contact_email` (string, required): Media contact email printed on the release (required by newswires).
- `country` (string, required): Country name, e.g. 'United States'.
- `product_url` (string, required): Public URL of the product, launch page, or repo being announced.
- `quote_only` (boolean): If true, never pay: just return the x402 price quote and a confirm_token. Use this first to show the user the price.
- `tier` (string, required): "wire" = $99 (500+ news sites); "premium" = $299 (adds AP News, USA Today, Barchart, StreetInsider).

### `get_release_status` (~79 tokens)

Get press release distribution status (free)

FREE. Check the status of a newswire press release order from distribute_press_release (order id like w_ab12cd34ef) and get live links to the published coverage once distributed.

Input parameters:

- `order_id` (string, required): The order_id returned by distribute_press_release, e.g. w_3f9d0a1b2c.
