TOOL
search_content_catalog
Search registered Marketplace content metadata by topic.
Build against the independent publisher discovery and licensing layer.
ContentDividend exposes public endpoints for discovering Marketplace publishers, searching registered content metadata, browsing categories, inspecting publisher inventories, reading live Network totals, and starting structured licensing inquiries.
Model Context Protocol
Connect an AI agent directly to ContentDividend discovery tools.
ContentDividend now exposes a stateless, read-only MCP endpoint using protocol version 2026-07-28. The first MCP release intentionally exposes discovery tools only: agents can search and inspect publisher metadata, but cannot autonomously submit a licensing request or send a private message.

Transport: stateless HTTP POST · Protocol: 2026-07-28 · Capability: tools · Write actions: disabled
TOOL
list_marketplace_categories
List current content categories represented by Marketplace publishers.
TOOL
get_marketplace_category
Inspect one category and the publishers participating in it.
TOOL
list_marketplace_publishers
List publishers that voluntarily accept licensing inquiries.
TOOL
get_publisher
Retrieve one publisher's public licensing and discovery record.
TOOL
get_publisher_inventory
Inspect public registered-page metadata for one Marketplace publisher.
TOOL
get_network_stats
Read current aggregate ContentDividend Network totals.
Read-only by design: The MCP server does not expose a tool that submits
licensing requests, sends messages, changes publisher data, registers pages, or creates deals.
An AI agent can identify a relevant licensing pathway, but a human remains responsible for
initiating the actual licensing request.
Public discovery APIs
Start with metadata. Narrow to the publisher. Then ask for rights.
These public discovery endpoints do not require a publisher dashboard login. They expose public Marketplace and registry metadata—not private account information or stored raw publisher content.

Licensing request API
Discovery can lead directly to a structured licensing inquiry.
After identifying a relevant publisher, a requester can use the public licensing-request flow. Submitting a request creates an inquiry; it does not itself grant any content rights.
POST
Submit Licensing Request
Start a structured licensing inquiry tied to a Marketplace publisher. Required fields and anti-spam validation are enforced by the application.

Integration boundaries
What public API access means—and what it does not mean.
Public discovery metadata
Public endpoints are designed to expose Marketplace, registry, category, inventory and licensing-discovery metadata. They are not intended to expose private publisher account information.
No automatic content license
API access, search results, public URLs, Marketplace listings and inventories do not grant rights to copy, scrape, train on, reproduce, summarize, distribute or commercially exploit publisher content.
No raw content dump
The public discovery APIs return metadata and public URLs. They do not provide a bulk endpoint for downloading stored raw publisher content.
Availability may evolve
Public discovery endpoints currently support the workflows documented here. ContentDividend may add authentication, quotas, commercial API plans or additional developer controls as the network grows.
Rights boundary: Discovery is permission to evaluate and ask. Appropriate authorization or licensing terms must come from the applicable rights holder before protected publisher content is used.
Machine-readable Developer Manifest
The Developer Manifest lists current public endpoints, methods, parameters and intended uses in JSON.
