SentiSift SDKs

Official client libraries for the SentiSift comment-moderation and intelligence API. Three published packages, all open source for the integration code so developers can read, audit, and contribute.

Package	Source	Registry	Install
sentisift (Python)	python/	PyPI	pip install sentisift
@sentisift/client (Node/TypeScript)	node/	npm	npm install @sentisift/client
sentisift-mcp (MCP server)	mcp/	PyPI	uvx sentisift-mcp

What is SentiSift?

SentiSift filters bots, spam, and noise out of comment sections without silencing real voices. It scores each comment on five independent axes (sentiment, eloquence, length, behavioral patterns, commercial signals) and returns moderation decisions plus crowd-level analytics. On paid tiers, it also contributes constructive perspectives when a discussion skews one-sided ("Influence").

Quick start

Python

pip install sentisift

from sentisift import SentiSift

client = SentiSift()  # reads SENTISIFT_API_KEY from env
result = client.analyze(
    article_url="https://example.com/article/1",
    comments=[
        {"text": "Great article!", "author": "alice", "time": "2026-04-18T10:00:00"},
    ],
)

Node / TypeScript

npm install @sentisift/client

import { SentiSift } from "@sentisift/client";

const client = new SentiSift();
const result = await client.analyze({
  articleUrl: "https://example.com/article/1",
  comments: [{ text: "Great article!", author: "alice", time: "2026-04-18T10:00:00" }],
});

MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Continue)

uvx sentisift-mcp     # one-shot run via uv
# or
pip install sentisift-mcp     # then add to your MCP host's config

Then add the SentiSift entry to your host's MCP config (Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor's ~/.cursor/mcp.json, VS Code's settings.json, etc.). See mcp/README.md for host-specific snippets.

Architecture

The full SentiSift API service (auth, billing, scoring pipeline, scrapers) lives in a separate private repository. This public repository contains only the client-facing packages and their integration code, OpenAPI-derived models, and tests.

Documentation is hosted on sentisift.com:

• HTML reference: api-docs.html
• LLM-friendly Markdown mirror: api-docs.md
• OpenAPI 3.1 spec: openapi.json
• AI-agent integration guide: AGENTS.md
• llmstxt.org index: llms.txt
