  "what_it_does": "Monitors Reddit, Hacker News, X/Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, GitHub, YouTube, Slack communities, and general web/forum sources for keyword mentions, delivering alerts via email, Slack, RSS, webhook, or API.",
  "ai_features": "\"AI filtering\" suppresses spammy/duplicate/weak-match results (vendor-described noise reduction, no model specifics disclosed); vendor also states onboarding is automated by having the system \"research your company\" to seed initial filters - unverified beyond vendor copy.",

  "mcp_url": "https://github.com/syntax-syndicate/social-listening (third-party MCP server built against Syften's data; not a vendor-published repo)",
  "mcp_auth": "Community server presumably authenticates with a Syften API key (matching Syften's own API auth model); not independently confirmed for this specific repo.",
  "api_gate": "paid - API access ships from the Standard tier ($49.95/mo); the Entry tier ($29.95/mo) has no API. Webhooks and Syften's own vendor-marketed \"MCP support\" are gated to Syften PRO ($119.95/mo).",

  "notes": "Syften's own pricing page advertises \"MCP support\" as a named PRO-tier feature, implying a first-party server, but no public vendor docs page or repo URL could be located during this research (both syften.com/mcp and syften.com/docs returned 404) - so mcp_status is logged as community, backed only by the third-party repo in hand, per the hard law that an MCP claim requires a URL. Re-check for an official server before the next directory pass. A second, unrelated Reddit-monitoring tool (dancolta/subscope, a free Claude Code plugin reading public RSS feeds) also surfaced during this search - not Syften-specific, but a relevant adjacent tool for the same use case.",
