Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Daily Kos endpoint catalog — 4 endpoints, 6 documented request parameters, and 4 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
4 documented Daily Kos endpoints, grouped into 4 request families — Article, Headlines and News, plus 1 more.
6 request parameters are documented across those Daily Kos endpoints, 6 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
4 of the 4 Daily Kos endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 4 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Daily Kos endpoints document their error responses (400, 404 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
4 hosted MCP tools back the Daily Kos endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/dailykos/articleReturns metadata and text paragraphs from a canonical staff-authored Daily Kos /news/ story. Community stories and photographer-owned images are not included.
MCP tool dailykos_article
/dailykos/headlinesReturns the current stories for one Daily Kos category. `section` is required and takes one of 24 slugs such as `news/elections`, `news/courts`, `cartoon` or `announcements`; any other value returns a 400. Some categories can be empty, which comes back as an empty `items` list.
MCP tool dailykos_headlines
/dailykos/newsReturns the current staff-written Daily Kos stories, about 10 items, each with title, URL, summary, publication time and author. Community stories and image URLs are left out because the site licenses them separately. Takes no parameters.
MCP tool dailykos_news
/dailykos/sectionsLists the 24 Daily Kos categories accepted by `dailykos-headlines`, including nested slugs such as `news/elections` and `news/whitehouse`. Each entry has the `slug`, display `name` and category `url`. Dynamic tag archives are not part of this set.

No. The supported taxonomy is the discovered set of 24 WordPress categories. Tags change as writers publish and reader diaries use a different content surface, so build recurring headline pulls from exact category slugs and reserve article extraction for the validated staff-story URL form.
