The official smry plugin gives Claude, ChatGPT, and Codex a read-only MCP tool for fetching clean, source-grounded text from public articles and YouTube transcripts.
- Reads a public article or YouTube URL on request.
- Returns source metadata and cleaned text for summarization, analysis, comparison, quotation, and question answering.
- Rejects local files and private-network targets.
- Does not bypass hard paywalls or private access controls.
The plugin connects to the public Streamable HTTP endpoint:
https://api.smry.ai/mcp
No authentication is required. The server exposes one read-only tool:
get_article.
Add this repository as a Claude Code plugin marketplace, then install smry.
The included .mcp.json configures the hosted MCP server automatically.
For direct MCP setup and other clients, see the smry MCP documentation.
