Connect Voidly to Claude Desktop
Add the Voidly censorship observatory to Claude Desktop as an MCP server.
Voidly is the open observatory of global internet censorship — measured, predicted, and machine-readable. Once connected, Claude Desktop can check whether a domain is blocked in a country, compare censorship across countries, pull citable incident reports, and read 7-day shutdown forecasts — all from live data, no API key required for the public read endpoints.
