Winston AI MCP Server

Winston AI MCP Server (Apify Actor)

Run the Winston AI Model Context Protocol (MCP) server via this Apify Actor, giving language models real-time access to advanced AI text and image detection, plagiarism checks, and sophisticated text comparison capabilities. Use your Apify credits to integrate Winston AI's powerful detection features into your AI workflows—no fine-tuning required. ⚡️

This Actor proxies the Winston AI MCP Server, allowing AI clients to integrate directly with Winston AI's detection and analysis capabilities. It requires a valid Winston AI API Key for authentication.

About this MCP Server: To understand how to connect to and utilize MCP servers, please refer to the official Model Context Protocol documentation at mcp.apify.com.

Connection URL

MCP clients can connect to this server at:

https://mcp-servers--winston-ai-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp

Client configuration

To connect to this MCP server, use the following configuration in your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "winston-ai": {
      "url": "https://mcp-servers--winston-ai-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"
      },
      "env": {
        "WINSTONAI_API_KEY": "YOUR_WINSTON_AI_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN with your actual Apify API token (find it in the Apify Console). Also, set WINSTONAI_API_KEY with your actual Winston AI API Key, which you can obtain at https://dev.gowinston.ai. This key is essential for the Actor to authenticate with the Winston AI service.

Notes and Best Practices

• Authentication: This Apify Actor requires your Apify API token for access. The Actor itself authenticates with the Winston AI service using the WINSTONAI_API_KEY provided as an environment variable to the Actor. This key is crucial for the Actor's functionality. Obtain yours at https://dev.gowinston.ai.
• Rate Limits and Quotas: Winston AI APIs and your Actor may enforce rate limits and have associated credit costs. Implement backoff/retry where appropriate and monitor your usage.
• Content Limits: Be aware of minimum and maximum character/text/image size limits for Winston AI tools.
• Compliance: Ensure your usage complies with your organization’s data governance and Winston AI’s terms of service.
