Same measurement, no browser
The MCP server hands Claude, Cursor or any MCP client the same four measurements on the same free key, so you can ask for them instead of pasting a handle. The n8n community node runs them inside a scheduled workflow and fires only when something in the niche pops. Both are published packages on the engine behind these tools, so the numbers never disagree.
More coming. They all feed the same job, which is finding the uploads that beat their own channel and working out why, and the paid app at bangermap.com is the one that remembers, so the channels you track re-scan themselves and tell you what is new.
