Community MCP Paid, self-serve Community & Dark Social RESEARCHED Checked 2026-08-24
RESEARCHED Facts from public sources with URLs. No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 0.

Vendor: https://syften.com · entry id 15-syften · source 15-community-dark-social.md line 83

What it does
Monitors Reddit, Hacker News, X/Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, GitHub, YouTube, Slack communities, and general web/forum sources for keyword mentions, delivering alerts via email, Slack, RSS, webhook, or API.
AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it
"AI filtering" suppresses spammy/duplicate/weak-match results (vendor-described noise reduction, no model specifics disclosed); vendor also states onboarding is automated by having the system "research your company" to seed initial filters - unverified beyond vendor copy.
RevOps role
Reddit/HN/forum-native "dark social" mention-monitoring layer, positioned as a lighter-weight, solo-operator-priced alternative to enterprise social-listening suites like Brandwatch or Meltwater.
MCP server
Status bucket
Community MCP
Auth
Community server presumably authenticates with a Syften API key (matching Syften's own API auth model); not independently confirmed for this specific repo.
Parsed URLs
1 found in the mcp_url field

A working server exists but somebody other than the vendor built it. It can be abandoned without the vendor noticing. The status was established on 2026-08-24 and has not been re-fetched since.

mcp_status, verbatim from the file:

community

mcp_url, verbatim from the file:

https://github.com/syntax-syndicate/social-listening (third-party MCP server built against Syften's data; not a vendor-published repo)

Access gate
Gate bucket
Paid, self-serve
Can a solo operator reach it
Yes, by paying, no sales call

api_gate, verbatim from the file:

paid - API access ships from the Standard tier ($49.95/mo); the Entry tier ($29.95/mo) has no API. Webhooks and Syften's own vendor-marketed "MCP support" are gated to Syften PRO ($119.95/mo).

API documentation

No documentation URL recorded.

263 of 293 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank.

GitHub health

Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build.

The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale.

A github.com URL already appears somewhere in this entry, which is a seed for that rail and not a measurement of repo health:

Jobs it can do

A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records.

Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 55 job vocabulary. 271 of 293 entries carry at least one tag; 827 tags are assigned in total.

Sources

4 source URLs. Raw sources field, verbatim:

https://syften.com, https://syften.com/pricing, https://github.com/syntax-syndicate/social-listening, https://github.com/dancolta/subscope

Notes, verbatim from the file
Syften's own pricing page advertises "MCP support" as a named PRO-tier feature, implying a first-party server, but no public vendor docs page or repo URL could be located during this research (both syften.com/mcp and syften.com/docs returned 404) - so mcp_status is logged as community, backed only by the third-party repo in hand, per the hard law that an MCP claim requires a URL. Re-check for an official server before the next directory pass. A second, unrelated Reddit-monitoring tool (dancolta/subscope, a free Claude Code plugin reading public RSS feeds) also surfaced during this search - not Syften-specific, but a relevant adjacent tool for the same use case.
