## What it 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.
