Deduped API and MCP server: AI use cases as JSON

Every use case, hot repo and daily news item on Deduped is also a JSON file. Agents can search the catalog, pull one use case with its steps and agent prompt, and hand it to a coding agent. Fields are only ever added under /api/v1/, never renamed.

Endpoints

GET	What you get
`/api/v1/index.json`	Endpoints and counts
`/api/v1/usecases.json`	Every use case, light record (id, repo, title, summary, category, url)
`/api/v1/usecases/<id>.json`	One use case: steps, agent_prompt, requirements, risks, caveat. id = `repo-slug--use-case-slug`
`/api/v1/search.json`	Compact search index, one small file for client side matching
`/api/v1/repos.json`	Hot AI repos of the last 90 days, best first
`/api/v1/repos/<slug>.json`	One hot repo with its use cases
`/api/v1/news.json`	Today's AI news brief, each story once
`/api/openapi.json`	OpenAPI 3.1 spec

Example

curl -s https://dedupedai.com/api/v1/search.json | jq '.items[] | select(.t | test("pdf"; "i")) | .id'
curl -s https://dedupedai.com/api/v1/usecases/<id>.json | jq -r .agent_prompt

MCP server

The deduped-mcp MCP server gives Claude, Cursor and any MCP client four tools: search_use_cases, get_use_case, hot_repos and today_news. It only reads the public JSON above over HTTPS. One Python file, no dependencies.

Claude Code

claude mcp add deduped -- uvx deduped-mcp

  "mcpServers": {
    "deduped": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["deduped-mcp"] }
