Every MCP tool, its parameters, and what each call costs live in the MCP docs, including setup for ChatGPT, Cursor and Claude Code.
For Claude Desktop's local MCP, install the CLI, run commentscraper login, then add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json. This is separate from the hosted web connector above.

-H "Authorization: Bearer adl_your_api_key"Returns newline-delimited JSON by default. Add ?format=json for a single JSON object, and page with ?limit= and the x-next-cursor response header. Filter by ?since= and ?until= (ISO 8601).

Add an https endpoint from your account and pick the events to receive. We POST a JSON payload when each event fires.

}Every delivery is signed. The X-Adlicio-Signature header is sha256= followed by the HMAC-SHA256 of the raw request body, keyed by your endpoint secret. Compare it against your own computation before trusting the payload. Retries reuse the same id, so dedupe on it.
import crypto from "node:crypto";
// body is the RAW request bytes, secret is your "whsec_..." endpoint secret.
function verify(body, header, secret) {
const expected =
"sha256=" + crypto.createHmac("sha256", secret).update(body).digest("hex");
return header === expected;
