Machine access

Ask Niched from inside your editor.

Niched exposes its evidence over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client can query it while you are choosing software. Read only. An MCP client has no browser session, so it identifies itself with a free access token - that is what lets Niched show you your own query history.

One endpoint. Copy, paste, done.

Endpoint

https://niched.dev/api/mcp/

Client configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "niched": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://niched.dev/api/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Create a token above and this config will include it automatically.

Claude Code one-liner

claude mcp add --transport http niched https://niched.dev/api/mcp/ --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Include the trailing slash. The transport is Streamable HTTP, so requests are POSTed withAccept: application/json, text/event-stream. Opening the URL in a browser will not work and is not meant to.

What it will not do

There is no recommendation tool.

Niched has not published a reviewed niche verdict yet, so the server cannot return one. Adoption is observed integration, not a ranking: the most-downloaded product in a category is not therefore the right one for your constraints. Every response carries that limit in its own payload so a model repeating it has to repeat the caveat too.

What it will do

Return dated evidence and name the gaps.

Every measurement carries a capture date and its source. Where Niched holds nothing, the response says so rather than returning a zero. Pricing, buyer outcomes, and satisfaction are currently unmeasured for most products, and the server reports that directly.
