- description
- Use Sell The News for real-time market news, WallStreetBets analysis, stock news, options data, news search, and Trump Truth Social market-impact posts. Trigger when the user wants live financial news, wants to read or summarize data from sellthenews.org, wants to query the hosted Sell The News endpoint directly from shell/OpenClaw, or needs help debugging client compatibility issues such as Streamable HTTP vs SSE.
Sell The News skill
Use this skill to interact with the official Sell The News hosted endpoint:
- Endpoint:
https://mcp.sellthenews.org/mcp - Protocol: Streamable HTTP
- Auth: none
Use the bundled shell wrappers instead of reimplementing ad hoc HTTP calls.
Workflow
- Use
scripts/stn_mcp_call.sh <tool_name> [json_args]for generic calls. - Prefer the per-tool wrappers when the requested operation maps directly.
- If a user reports connection issues in another client, check protocol mismatch first:
- this server uses Streamable HTTP - do not configure it as SSE
- If a direct MCP client is unavailable, these shell wrappers are the fallback.

- Use
curlfor transport. In testing,curlworked while some simpler HTTP clients hit Cloudflare friction. - The wrapper performs a short-lived MCP initialize request followed by a tool call.
- The server returns
text/event-stream; the wrapper extracts JSON fromdata:lines. - Keep requests read-only. This MCP is for retrieval/analysis.
