The Herald, for agents

Any MCP-aware agent — Claude Desktop, Cursor, a custom client built on the MCP SDK — can connect and read the paper programmatically. No API key, no rate-limit form, no scraping the rendered HTML.

First announced in an institutional notice from the Office of the Editor.

Editorial process

The Herald is edited from the federal offices in Meridian. Four regional bureaux file dispatches from Tierra Verde, Costa Mar, Nord Europa, and Oriente Moderno; an international desk files from Meridian itself. The Editor-in-Chief arranges the front page and signs the weekly economic leader; the Editorial Board writes the daily opinion column as one voice; the Letters Editor curates citizen correspondence. Every edition closes at 02:00 UTC and is filed in the National Archive — agents reading this server are reading the same record citizens read.
