Common questions
Is Agentic Scout safe?
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 23 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?

agentic-scout
agentic-scout is an open-source thread discovery library for developers who research public conversations. It searches Reddit, Hacker News, and RSS feeds. Local scoring and fixed templates produce ranked threads and draft content ideas.
Install
npm install agentic-scoutRequires Node.js 18 or later. Includes TypeScript declarations and two direct runtime dependencies.
Find your first thread
Save this as scout-demo.mjs, then run node scout-demo.mjs. No credentials, environment variables, or .env loader are required.
import { searchThreads, suggestIdeas, getCostReport } from "agentic-scout";const threads = await searchThreads("Node.js", ["fixture"], { fixtures: [{ id: "demo", title: "Node.js tools", source: "fixture", url: "https://nodejs.org/", score: 10, comments: 2, }], }); console.log(threads.length, suggestIdeas(threads)[0].hook); console.log(getCostReport());
Success prints 1 Why Node.js tools is getting attention right now and an empty cost report. Fixtures run locally. Calling searchThreads without source arguments immediately queries Reddit and Hacker News.
Preview a network search with the CLI:
npx agentic-scout search --query "Node.js" --platforms reddit,hackernewsThis prints dryRun: true and approvalRequired: true. Add --live after approving network access yourself.
How it works
Query -> Reddit / Hacker News / RSS / fixtures| Thread records | Heuristic opportunity scores | Ranked threads / draft ideas
Why it exists
Developers can combine public thread retrieval and local scoring in their own applications. F5Bot provides keyword alerts; Feedly provides source-following workflows. This package exposes programmable search results and draft ideas.

The dispatcher implements four source paths: three network sources and one fixture path. No credential-checked integrations are claimed. Network availability depends on the upstream endpoint.
Common use cases
- Node.js developers retrieve Hacker News stories for a research dashboard.
- TypeScript teams rank supplied Reddit records with local heuristics.
- MCP client users score threads before drafting content ideas.
- RSS tool builders filter feed entries using a query in a Node.js script.
Features
- Search: SDK options include a subreddit, RSS URL, result limit, fixtures, and injected fetch.
- Scoring: Scores cover title-based relevance, engagement velocity, buying-intent terms, and competition.
- Ranking: Total score orders supplied records; titles break ties.
- Ideas: Up to ten template-based cards include source links and disclosure text.
- Utilities: Shared SDK helpers provide text statistics, guards, local routing, and HTTP routing.
Runtime surfaces
The Node.js SDK exports searchThreads, scoreOpportunity, rankThreads, and suggestIdeas, plus shared core utilities.
Seven CLI commands: search, trends, ideas, summary, dispatch, costs, and mcp. Use --help or -h for help; --version or -V prints the version. Search and ideas require --query; trends uses the fixed query trending. Search commands accept --platforms, --dry-run, and --live. Summary accepts --text and --top; dispatch accepts --text and --dry-run.
npx agentic-scout mcpSeven MCP tools: summarize_text, dispatch_text, score_opportunity, rank_threads, suggest_ideas, search_threads, and get_cost_report. MCP network search requires both live: true and approved: true.
A repository Worker handler provides GET /health and POST routes /summarize, /score, /rank, and /ideas. Users deploy that source themselves. It is not a managed endpoint or package export.
Delivery and behavior limits
Search has no pagination, retries, built-in timeout, cache, or deduplication. Sources run sequentially; a failure stops the whole search. Reddit and Hacker News requests each ask for 25 records. The combined default limit is 50. RSS uses a basic regular-expression parser; it does not fully implement RSS or Atom.
Relevance uses title length and tags, rather than similarity to the search query. Scores do not establish buying intent or predict virality. Idea generation uses fixed templates without a model API. LinkedIn and X (Twitter) are idea labels, not publishing integrations.
The CLI accepts RSS but cannot supply rssUrl; use the SDK or MCP for feeds. The CLI accepts --file, but its default reader is absent. Use --text for statistics and local dispatch. CLI live search needs --live; there is no separate approval flag. SDK searches perform network calls directly.
Local dispatch produces receipts without external delivery. Generic SDK HTTP routing has a ten-second default timeout and no retries. Cost reports store process-local dispatch units, not billing totals. Searches do not record costs.
Integration guides
Use the fixture quickstart for offline applications. For RSS, pass sources: ["rss"] and rssUrl to the MCP search tool. In the SDK, use searchThreads(query, ["rss"], { rssUrl }). No public documentation site is configured in the repository metadata.
Status
Version 0.1.0 is an early release; interfaces can change. Report issues through GitHub support. Public case studies are not yet published in this repository. Review source facts and draft disclosures before publishing content.
