Sentor MCP Server
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NIKX-Tech/sentor-mcp/prod/logo.png" width="70" alt="Sentor Logo">
Entity-based sentiment analysis for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
    <br>   
Sentor is an entity-based sentiment analysis platform powered by fine-tuned BERT models. This MCP server exposes Sentor's ML APIs as tools your AI assistant can call directly — score sentiment toward specific entities in text, cluster documents by topic, and generate topic labels, all from a single natural-language prompt.

🎯 What It Does
Once connected, your AI assistant gains four tools:
| Tool | What it does | |------|-------------| | analyze_sentiment | Score sentiment toward named entities (brands, products, features, people) in one or more documents. Returns per-document and per-sentence breakdowns. | | cluster_documents | Group 5+ documents into thematic clusters using BERTopic + HDBSCAN. Automatically discovers the number of clusters. | | name_topic | Generate a 3–5 word descriptive label for each cluster using an LLM (e.g. "Shipping Delay Complaints"). | | health_check | Verify the Sentor API is reachable and ML models are loaded. |
Example prompt after setup: > "Analyse these 50 customer reviews for sentiment toward our checkout flow and delivery speed. Then cluster them by topic and name each cluster."

🚀 Quick Start
Claude Desktop
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"sentor": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["sentor-mcp"],
"env": {
"SENTOR_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. A hammer icon appears in the tool selector — Sentor is ready.
No
uvx? Install it withpip install uv, or usesentor-mcpdirectly afterpip install sentor-mcp.
---
Cursor / Windsurf
Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project-level) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):
{
"mcpServers": {
"sentor": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["sentor-mcp"],
"env": {
"SENTOR_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
---
Claude.ai Web (Remote MCP)
Run the HTTP server and connect by URL:
docker run -e SENTOR_API_KEY=your_api_key -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/nikx-tech/sentor-mcp:latest
Then in Claude.ai → Settings → Integrations → Add MCP Server: `` http://your-server:8080/sse ``

🔧 Tools Reference
analyze_sentiment(docs, language="en")
Analyse entity-level sentiment in one or more documents.
docs = [
{
"doc_id": "review-1",
"doc": "The delivery was fast but the packaging was completely crushed.",
"entities": ["delivery", "packaging"]
}
]
# Returns: predicted_label, probabilities, per-sentence details
Supported languages: en (English), nl (Dutch)
---
cluster_documents(documents, language="en")
Group documents into thematic clusters. Requires at least 5 documents.
documents = [
{"doc_id": "r1", "text": "Great product quality, very happy.", "entities": ["product"]},
# ... at least 5 documents
]
# Returns: clusters with cluster_id, document_count, documents, top_words
# Cluster -1 = outliers that did not fit any topic
---
name_topic(cluster_id, documents, top_words, entities, language="en")
Generate a short label for a cluster. Pass data directly from cluster_documents output.
name_topic(
cluster_id=0,
documents=cluster["documents"],
top_words=cluster["top_words"],
entities=["BrandName"], # exclude your brand from the label
language="en"
)
# Returns: { "topic_name": "Shipping Delay Complaints", "generation_method": "LLM" }
---
health_check()
# Returns: { "status": "healthy", "version": "1.0.0", "llm_status": "available" }

💬 Usage Examples
Single document: > "Use Sentor to analyse the sentiment of this review toward Apple and iPhone: [paste text]"
Batch analysis: > "I have 100 customer reviews. Use Sentor to score sentiment toward 'delivery' and 'support' in each one, then tell me the ratio of positive to negative."
Full pipeline: > "Use Sentor to: 1) analyse sentiment in these 200 reviews for 'product quality' and 'price', 2) cluster them by topic, 3) name each cluster, 4) summarise the findings."
Competitive analysis: > "Analyse these tweets for sentiment toward Apple, Samsung, and Google separately using Sentor, then compare the results."

🐳 Remote Deployment
Run as a hosted HTTP/SSE server for AI tools that support remote MCP endpoints.
Docker:
docker build -t sentor-mcp .
docker run \
-e SENTOR_API_KEY=your_key \
-p 8080:8080 \
sentor-mcp
The server exposes:
GET /sse— SSE stream (MCP transport)POST /messages— message endpoint
Environment variables:
| Variable | Default | Description | |----------|---------|-------------| | SENTOR_API_KEY | — | Required. Your Sentor API key. | | SENTOR_BASE_URL | https://sentor.app/api | Override to point at a self-hosted Sentor instance. | | PORT | 8080 | HTTP server port. |
