newsmcp — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Streams real-time global news into AI agents with category and regional filters. Operates out of the box without tokens or account sign-ups.
claude mcp add newsmcp -- npx -y @newsmcp/serverWhat newsmcp does
This MCP server delivers curated event feeds gathered from hundreds of publications worldwide. Incoming articles are clustered and ranked by relevance, which helps an agent parse current events without noise. The get_news tool handles filtered listings, while get_news_detail uncovers context and underlying reference sources.
Setup requires no subscription or secret keys. The runtime only needs Node.js, because the process executes straight through npx. If your workflow bypasses MCP, the same aggregated streams are exposed via a standard REST endpoint at https://newsmcp.io/v1.
What it helps with
- feed breaking world events directly into an agent's context
- narrow down news feeds across 100+ geographical areas and categories
- retrieve complete context and source links for a specific story
- pull clustered news without registering for API credentials
Example prompts for the agent
- Fetch today's top European technology developments using
get_news. - Retrieve context and every source link for this story via
get_news_detail. - List supported territories and subject tags with
get_regionsandget_topics.
