APITube News — Claude Code MCP server: news search
Adds live and archived news search to an agent, with filters for sentiment and entities. Use it when a coding chat needs current news data.
claude mcp add --transport http apitube-news https://mcp.apitube.io/What APITube News does
APITube News exposes a hosted news service through MCP and Streamable HTTP. The endpoint is https://mcp.apitube.io/, so there is no local process to keep running. Results arrive as structured records rather than scraped page HTML.
The server provides two tools. search_news handles queries with keyword, language, country, source, date, sentiment, and entity filters. suggest resolves a name into IDs for an entity, topic, category, or industry. Articles include sentiment and extracted entities. A valid API key is required for searches.
In Claude Code, add the remote server with the HTTP transport command. Authentication uses Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY> or X-API-Key: <API_KEY>. The setup connects to the hosted service instead of installing a package in the project.
What it helps with
- search current coverage of a company or topic
- filter articles by country, language, or source
- find stories within a date range
- select coverage by sentiment
- resolve names into filterable entity IDs
Example prompts for the agent
- Find recent English-language coverage of Tesla and keep articles with positive sentiment.
- Search earthquake reports from the last week, grouped by country and filtered by source.
- Resolve “OpenAI” to its entity ID, then use that ID for a focused news search.
