Using a different agent?

Overtone also ships as an MCP server — drop one block into your config and it works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, Kimi, and any MCP-compatible runtime.

Requires uv (curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh). Free tier — no API key needed.
Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "overtone-news": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["overtone-news-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
Settings → MCP → Add server, or paste into ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "overtone-news": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["overtone-news-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
Append to ~/.codex/config.toml
[[mcp_servers]]
name = "overtone-news"
command = "uvx"
args = ["overtone-news-mcp"]
Run the server on stdio with this command:
uvx overtone-news-mcp
Tools exposed: news, tone, pulse, emerging, velocity, timeseries, report.
