An AI-native content creation and distribution platform for independent publishers, journalists, and creators. Agents can read published stories with no account, pay per-article for premium content using HTTP 402 payment rails, and (with a Distro API key) publish and manage content via MCP. Reading is free and open; premium articles currently settle through x402/USDC, with Visa CLI available as a separate card-backed rail when enabled; publishing requires authentication.
For agents: AI-native publishing and distribution platform: free article reading, per-article x402/USDC premium access, and MCP-based publishing with a Distro API key.

# DistroVerse
> An AI-native content creation and distribution platform for independent publishers, journalists, and creators. Agents can read published stories with no account, pay per-article for premium content using HTTP 402 payment rails, and (with a Distro API key) publish and manage content via MCP. Reading is free and open; premium articles currently settle through x402/USDC, with Visa CLI available as a separate card-backed rail when enabled; publishing requires authentication.
This file is the agent entry point. Reading paths below require no authentication. Premium content is gated by HTTP 402. Crypto x402 is the live settlement path; Visa CLI is advertised separately for card-backed agent payment experiments. Publishing and content management require a Distro API key — see Authentication.
## Start here
- **Latest stories (no auth)**: https://app.distro.media/feed.xml — global RSS, or call `distro_feed_latest` on the Reader MCP server
- **Search (no auth)**: `distro_search` on the Reader MCP server at https://reader.distro.media/mcp/reader
- **Reader MCP manifest**: https://reader.distro.media/mcp/reader — capabilities, tools, transports, `authentication: none`
- **Publisher MCP manifest**: https://app.distro.media/mcp — publishing tools, `authentication: bearer` (Distro API key)
- **Connect a client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, CLI)**: https://distro.media/connect — copy-paste setup for the Reader and Publisher MCP servers
## Read content (free, no authentication)
- **HTML pages**: https://app.distro.media/newslode/{pub-slug}/{story-slug} — server-rendered article body (`<article>` with headline, byline, date) + JSON-LD NewsArticle metadata; readable without executing JavaScript
- **Markdown export**: https://app.distro.media/story/{id}.md — story body as plain markdown with YAML front matter (ideal for agents). Premium stories return a truncated preview with `paywalled: true` and `cost` in the front matter instead of the full body
- **Reader MCP tools**: `distro_story_read`, `distro_story_render_hud`, `distro_feed_latest`, `distro_search`, `distro_media_series` at https://reader.distro.media/mcp/reader (StreamableHTTP at /mcp/reader/stream, stateless at /mcp/reader/v2) — no auth, public. Premium read/render results withhold the body and provide the canonical HTTP x402 path
- **RSS feed (global)**: https://app.distro.media/feed.xml
- **RSS feed (per publication)**: https://app.distro.media/newslode/{pub-slug}/feed.xml
- **RSS feed (per author)**: https://app.distro.media/author/{author-slug}/feed.xml
- **Sitemap**: https://app.distro.media/sitemap.xml — only published, public content
## Authentication (what to expect)
- **Reading is anonymous.** The Reader MCP server, `.md` export, RSS, and HTML pages need no credential.
- **Paying for premium content needs no account** — an agent chooses an advertised payment rail and pays with its own wallet or approved payment tool (see Payments). No Distro login required to read a paid articl
