Lection MCP server

A hosted (remote) Model Context Protocol server for Lection, a tool that turns web pages into structured tables and exports them to CSV, Excel, Google Sheets or a webhook on a schedule.

Endpoint: https://www.lection.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
Nothing to install, no API key for the public YouTube tools.
Account tools use OAuth 2.1 (Supabase). Protected-resource metadata: https://www.lection.app/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource

`youtube_comments`	Top-level comments of a public video: author, text, likes, replies, date.
`lection_browser_tools_info`	How to export Instagram comments/followers or LinkedIn connections with Lection (those sites need a login, so they run in the Lection browser extension).

Tool	What it does
`my_lection_account`	Plan, schedule limits, allowed destinations, cloud credits.
`list_my_saved_scrapes`	Recent saved scrapes.
