MCP server for the Mention API to monitor web and social media
Most monitoring and observability work still happens through a UI a human drives. Mention MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. MCP server for the Mention API to monitor web and social media.
A production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for social listening and monitoring through the Mention API. Built with TypeScript, comprehensive error handling, structured logging, and modular architecture.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
The server publishes 12 tools. What each one is for:
get_account_info — Retrieve account details and subscription planget_app_data — Get available languages, countries, sourceslist_alerts — List all monitoring alerts with paginationget_alert — Get detailed information about specific alertscreate_basic_alert — Create alerts with simple keyword matchingcreate_advanced_alert — Create alerts with boolean query syntaxupdate_alert — Modify existing alert criteria and settingspause_alert — Temporarily pause monitoring for specific alertsunpause_alert — Resume monitoring for paused alertsfetch_mentions — Retrieve mentions with advanced filteringfetch_alert_stats — Get comprehensive statistics for alertsDevelopment — The Development tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: MCP_MENTION_API_KEY, MCP_MENTION_API_BASE_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Among the monitoring and observability options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Mention's toolset — get_account_info, get_app_data, list_alerts and 9 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by MaelitoP; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Mention's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
