Do I need an API key or an account to use the Shinel MCP server?

No. The server is public and read-only. You paste one URL into your AI app and pick no authentication. You never give Shinel Studios a key, a password or access to your accounts.

Is it safe to connect?

Yes. The tools only compute answers from the text you send (a topic, a platform name) and from Shinel's public spec tables. They cannot read your files, your YouTube channel or your chats, and they cannot post, buy or change anything.

What does Shinel Studios log?

Only IP-based rate-limit counters, which expire within minutes. Tool arguments and replies are not stored. Cloudflare, which hosts the endpoint, may keep its usual short-lived request logs.

Yes. There are fair-use limits per IP address: 120 requests and 30 tool calls a minute.

Privacy and safety

No keys, no sign-in. You do not give us an API key, password or account access. Our own keys never leave our server, and these tools do not use them.
Read-only. Every tool only computes an answer from what you send (a topic or a platform name) and our public spec tables. Nothing can post, buy, delete or read your channel.
What we log: only IP-based rate-limit counters (120 requests and 30 tool calls a minute per IP), which expire within minutes. We do not store what you ask or what the tools answer. Cloudflare, which hosts the endpoint, may keep its usual short-lived request logs, and crashes are reported to our error monitor without the request body.
