News, blogs, forums, and segmentation

webz.io
MCP servers online /mcp requires a Bearer token

Webz.io MCP Servers

Pick the server that matches the data you need. Each endpoint answers a different question, and each one uses your Webz token. Rate limits and credits stay on your Webz account.

Search servers (news, blogs, forums) return the posts themselves. Segmentation servers return counts instead, such as the top sites, authors, people, or companies for a query, up to 10 buckets per call.

Opening an endpoint in a browser returns 401 Unauthorized. Browsers do not send your API token. Use an MCP client configuration instead.

MCP servers

Copy the config for the server you want, or use the full config further down to add all of them.

Step 1: Get your API token

Before connecting a server, get your Webz.io API token:

  1. Go to webz.io
  2. Log in to your account
  3. Open your Dashboard
  4. Copy your API Token
Important: Keep your token secure. Never share it publicly or commit it to git.

Step 2: Connect your AI client

Replace YOUR_WEBZ_TOKEN with your API token from Step 1. Merge this into mcpServers. Do not replace the whole file. Delete any server you do not need.

Web clients

Use the endpoint of the server you want. Add another connector if you need a second server.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT (web)

Cloud

ChatGPT uses Plugins (not Connectors). Requires a paid plan and Developer Mode.

  1. Go to chatgpt.com on your computer
  2. Click your profile picture or username (bottom corner), then Settings
  3. Open Apps & Connectors, scroll to Advanced settings, and turn on Developer mode
  4. Click Add plugin (top right of the chat area)
  5. Name it after the server, for example Webz News or Webz Forums
  6. Set the URL to that server's endpoint from the list above
  7. Authentication: OAuth (leave Client ID and Secret empty if asked)
  8. Complete OAuth and paste your Webz API token on the authorize page
  9. In a new chat, type @ and select the plugin
Developer Mode is required for custom MCP plugins on personal ChatGPT accounts. Paid plan required: Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu.
Claude.ai

Claude.ai (web)

Cloud

Add a custom connector in Claude.ai settings. Requires a paid plan.

  1. Requires a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise)
  2. Go to claude.ai, then Settings, then Connectors
  3. Click Add custom connector
  4. Name it after the server, for example Webz News or Webz Segmentation
  5. Set the URL to that server's endpoint from the list above
  6. Leave OAuth Client ID and Secret empty
  7. Click Add, then open a new chat
  8. In chat, click +, then Connectors, and enable the connector
  9. Click Connect and paste your Webz API token on the authorize page

Recommended: environment variable token

Set the token once in your shell profile:

export WEBZ_API_TOKEN="your-webz-api-token"

Then use this config. Cursor replaces ${env:WEBZ_API_TOKEN} at runtime.

      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:WEBZ_API_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}
Why an environment variable? The token stays out of git and out of the config file.

Done!
