NicheDB MCP sunucusu

NicheDB

Sources in, feeds out. An open platform for databases that only ever grow: game releases, package registries, government filings, and any other public data with a big seed and daily growth. One Postgres, one Redis, and every row reachable by web, RSS, JSON, API, CLI and MCP.

The first deployment is nichedb.dev. Run your own on anything that has Postgres and Redis.

The model

Thing	What it is
collection	A niche: games, packages, filings.
source	One adapter pointed at one upstream, fetched on its own cadence. Steam's new-releases list. The npm changes feed. EDGAR Form D filings.
item	One row a source produced. Title, URL, when (with time_known and precision), tags, and the adapter's payload in data.
feed	A saved query over a collection. Has a page, RSS and JSON Feed renderings, an API endpoint, and followers who are told when it changes by push, email or signed webhook.

Adapters are one file each in packages/adapters/src. One hundred and sixty-one ship today across forty-six collections:

The way out (OpenSaaS)

nichedb serves its own OpenSaaS descriptor at /.well-known/opensaas.json: the plans as the checkout sells them (prepaid terms, none renews itself) and the actions that are real here, each as the page a person opens and the endpoint an agent calls with an OpenAccess bearer: subscribe (POST /api/v1/billing/subscribe, answers pending with the checkout page), cancel (POST /api/v1/billing/cancel, one click, today, nothing refunded), unsubscribe (a page: /settings, where the follows that send mail are turned off), export (POST /api/v1/account/export, one JSON document at once), delete (POST /api/v1/account/delete, confirmed by a link to the account email, immediate, nothing kept). The same doors as pages: /account/billing, /account/export, /account/delete. The opensaas adapter reads other services' descriptors into the saas collection, one row per plan with the service's own steps and confirm for the way in and the way out shown beside each other.

People (/c/profiles)

One entry per person, assembled from every app that serves their OpenProfile.md. The openprofiles adapter pages each app's listing (/api/openprofiles?since=…), fetches every document from the host that listed it, and merges documents that share an identity key (the Web URL, any Accounts URL, Email, DID) into one profile; a shared name alone never merges. The page is /c/profiles/<slug>-<id> (the id resolves, the name is cosmetic, a wrong name 301s) or /c/profiles/<handle> once the owner took one, and …/openprofile.md next to it is the file, text/markdown, CORS open, with <link rel="openprofile"> on the page.

A person claims their entry with This is me (proven by the email the profile lists, or a link back to the page from their site or show; admins may claim for an email) and edits it from the page, PUT /api/v1/profiles/<ref> (JSON overlay or a whole text/markdown file), nichedb profile edit, or the update_profile MCP tool, with a session, an API key, or an OpenAccess token carrying openprofile:edit. What the owner writes is an overlay that wins over every source and survives every re-read; a section written as none is removed. The Broadcast and Guest sections (OpenBroadcast, OpenGuest) are what the podcasters and guests feeds cut on.

The page shows the three identity fields OpenProfile 0.4 makes defaults, read from the Markdown: Emoji (one grapheme or an OpenEmoji :shortcode:) beside the name, Pronouns as written beside the handle (absent is unstated, never inferred), and Web (with Website, Homepage and Site read as the same key). The API and MCP answers carry them as emoji, pronouns and web; owners set them in the editor, as emoji/pronouns/web in a PUT or update_profile, or with nichedb profile edit <ref> --emoji … --pronouns … --web ….

Professional facets come only from what the person (or a public page an adapter already reads) published: a Title: (or Job Title:, Role:, Position:) identity line and a Company: (or Employer:) line, read case-insensitively; Company: Acme (https://acme.com), [Acme](https://acme.com), acme.com and a bare name all read, and Title: CEO at Acme names both. A seniority (c-suite, vp, director, manager, senior, entry, or none) is derived from keywords in the title. The API and MCP answers carry title, company ({name, domain}), seniority and facets; the collection items are tagged title:<slug>, company:<domain> (a slug of the name when there is no domain) and seniority:<level>, so ?tags= filters them like any other facet, and GET /api/v1/profiles (and search_profiles, nichedb profiles) take title, company, seniority and tags. GET /api/v1/profiles?linkedin=<url> (find_profile_by_linkedin, nichedb profiles --linkedin) answers the public profile a LinkedIn page belongs to. There is no lookup by email, on purpose: it would tell anyone holding an address whether its owner is listed. | directory | outreachgraph | no | | sites | opensite | no | | algorithms | nist-dads (NIST's Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures, every entry with its definition and relations; public domain), wikidata-algorithms (every algorithm and data structure on Wikidata, with who devised it, when, and its complexity; CC0), pwc-archive (the Papers With Code methods and datasets catalogues as archived on Hugging Face, call-centre spam dropped; CC BY-SA 4.0), rosetta-code (every programming task with the languages it is solved in; GFDL), thealgorithms (The Algorithms' implementations by language from each repo's DIRECTORY.md; MIT). docs/algorithms.md | no | | models | modelsdev (every AI model and what it costs, from models.dev; MIT). One row per provider offering rather than per model, because the same model reaches you from many of the 223 providers at as many prices: price per million tokens in, out and cached, context and output limits, modalities and capability flags, 8,179 of them. Plus the lab catalogue, one entry per model as its maker published it with a page of its own, and the providers themselves. openmodel (a provider's own file at /.well-known/openmodel.json, believed only when served from the origin it describes; the same vocabulary as the models.dev rows beside it, so one feed catches both). docs/models.md | no | | mcp | mcp-registry (the official registry: one row per server at its newest version, with packages, remotes and status), docker-mcp (Docker's catalogue: pull counts, categories, licences and the tools each server exposes), smithery (how often each server is actually called through Smithery's proxy), awesome-mcp (the punkpeye, wong2 and appcypher lists plus the protocol repo's reference servers), aitmpl-mcps (ready-made configs), github-mcp-topics (repositories tagged for MCP, newest push first), installmap-yc-mcp (Y Combinator companies that run a server, from Installmap's CC BY crawl, as OpenMCP records with the endpoint probed, plus each company's accounts and founders; the companies and founders also go to profiles as OpenProfiles through installmap-yc-people), glama-mcp (Glama's directory, last, so it adds only the servers none of the others carry, and only those Glama has quality-scored at 3.5 or more whose repository belongs to the lister, which leaves out the clone spam; licensed data, so every Glama row shows "MCP data from Glama" and a link to its Glama listing). Deduplicated on URL: the first source to carry a server keeps it. docs/mcp-and-workflows.md | keyless (GITHUB_TOKEN raises the search and enrichment rate limits) except glama-mcp, which needs GLAMA_API_KEY and stays paused without it | | workflows | reddit-workflows (the r/ClaudeWorkflows library, one post per workflow with its rating, freshness, level and categories parsed out of the post), awesome-claude-code (read from the CSV the list is generated from, so entries its maintainer has marked dead are skipped), aitmpl-components (settings bundles, agent loops and behaviour mods), github-agent-topics (repositories tagged for Claude Code, skills and subagents). Served at /workflows as well as /c/workflows. docs/mcp-and-workflows.md | keyless (GITHUB_TOKEN optional, as above) | | skills | aitmpl-skills (890 skills with install counts and the command that installs each), awesome-claude-code-skills (the hand-picked ones). /skills | no | | agents | aitmpl-agents (420 subagents by category), awesome-agents (the community lists that name each subagent rather than the bundle it ships in; VoltAgent seeded). /agents | no | | commands | aitmpl-commands (290 slash commands with install counts). /commands | no | | plugins | plugin-marketplaces (every plugin declared in the .claude-plugin/marketplace.json of the repos you name, the official one included). /plugins | no | | hooks | aitmpl-hooks (what runs before and after a tool call, a prompt or a session). /hooks | no |

Moderators

A niche can have moderators: people who review what is suggested for its collection without operating it. Anyone signed in applies at /<niche>/moderate (three questions); the application is a claim marked with the role, listed on /admin/knowledge with every other claim, and only an admin decides it. An approved moderator is a niche member with a share cap of zero and no score row: moderating earns nothing and is not a rung on the ladder. More than one person may moderate a niche. Moderators see the suggestion queue at /admin/submissions filtered to the collections their niches feed, approve into that collection only, and get the Queue link in the nav.

Sites (/c/sites)

One record per page, read the way OpenSite says: the title, the line, the picture and the kind a card is drawn from, the canonical address it is keyed by, the author, the feeds, and the og:, twitter: and JSON-LD tags verbatim. The opensite adapter walks each house site from its front page and sitemap, a hundred pages a run, honouring robots.txt and a site's own /.well-known/opensite.json. Any other address is read the moment somebody pastes it at /c/sites/add, which then shows every tag and the card as X, Slack, iMessage, Discord, LinkedIn and WhatsApp would draw it; the same read is POST /api/v1/sites { "url" }, and GET /api/v1/sites?url= answers the kept record or reads the page when it is older than an hour. A whole list, up to ten thousand addresses pasted or uploaded on the same page (or POST /api/v1/sites/bulk with JSON urls or a text body), becomes a source of the submitter's: the worker walks it 250 pages a run, a minute apart, and /s/<slug> shows the progress; a signed-in account is needed, since a list makes the deployment fetch on a schedule. The page is /c/sites/<host>/<path>, query string and all, because a page's identity can be in its query.

Lyrics (/lyrics)

Lyrics for Profullstack's own bands (Þrøngva, Velocity Vibe, Meine Mutter), read and written by the nixamp radio servers: /lyrics, /lyrics/<artist>, /lyrics/<artist>/<title>, and GET/POST/DELETE /api/v1/lyrics. Our own words only (source is embedded, author or transcribed); nothing is imported from lyrics sites. Writing takes a key with the lyrics permission (scripts/lyrics-key.js). See docs/lyrics.md.

Top-level domains (/tlds)

Every label in IANA's root, read daily and diffed into a change log nobody else publishes, with each registrar's one-year price to register, renew, transfer and restore beside it: Porkbun, Dynadot, Cloudflare and OVHcloud today, and any registrar that serves an OpenTLD file. Faceted by type, renewal band, registrar, script, status and registry, sortable on every column, renewal first, with the renewal trap (a second year at twice the first or more) as a filter of its own. /tlds/check asks each registry over RDAP whether a name is taken, and never calls a 404 "available". The same rows are GET /api/v1/tlds (JSON or CSV), MCP (search_tlds, get_tld, tld_changes, check_domain) and the CLI (nichedb tlds, nichedb check). See docs/tlds.md.

House aggregators

Ten of the sites we run publish a public feed or API of their own, and each is read here through it, keyless, the way any other reader would. The endpoint is the one checked live on 2026-09-12 (c0upons on 2026-09-13); the slug is the seeded source.

Site	Endpoint	Collection	Source slug	Kinds
p0dcasters.com	/opml (every show: feed, site, title)	podcasts	p0dcasters-shows	show
saasrow.com	/api/v1/products (offset paged, 100 a page)	saas	saasrow-products	product
d0rz.com	/asks/rss.xml, /offers/rss.xml	marketplace	d0rz-marketplace	ask, offer
bl0ggers.com	/asks/rss.xml, /offers/rss.xml	marketplace	bl0ggers-marketplace	ask, offer
aiornot.vote	/rss.xml, /rss/featured.xml, /rss/trending.xml	ai-media	aiornot-media	submission
agenticjobs.work	/api/v1/jobs (offset paged, 100 a page)	jobs	agenticjobs-postings	job
outreachgraph.com	/api/v1/public/directory (cursor paged, 200 a page; companies and sites by domain, people only when self-published)	directory	outreachgraph-directory	company, site, person
tsbb.dev	/api/v1/forums, then /f/{slug}/feed.xml per forum	forums	tsbb-topics	post
c0upons.com	/api/coupons (offset paged, 200 a page, store joined in; rows with source: nichedb skipped)	coupons	c0upons-coupons	coupon
bittorrented.com	PostgREST rpc/browse_dht_torrents on the site's own Supabase, by date from a cursor, 500 a page (the site has no submit or export endpoint)	dht	bittorrented-dht	torrent
c0ncerts.com	none yet: /api/events answers 501 "coming soon" and /api/v1/events 404s	—	—	—

saasrow's /api/v1/listings is per-account and needs a key, so only the public products directory is read. A submission aiornot carries on more than one feed is stored once and tagged with each feed. tsbb's cross-board /api/v1/latest does not say which forum a topic is in, which is why the walk is per forum.
