NewzAI MCP Server — Claude Code MCP server: how to install
Connects AI assistants to live headlines and regional news queries across seven countries. Useful for building research agents and market feeds without web scrapers.
claude mcp add --transport http newzai https://api.newzai.ai/mcp/What NewzAI MCP Server does
This MCP server runs as a remote HTTP service at https://api.newzai.ai/mcp/ without local scraper maintenance. It exposes three structured tools: fetch_news_headlines for top front-page stories, search_news_predefined_category for standard sections like TECHNOLOGY or BUSINESS, and search_news_for_any_category for custom keyword queries.
Search queries accept freshness limits via last_n_hours and page size limits with top_k defaulting to 20 items. The backend covers 7 regions: India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Canada, and Germany. Standard language codes handle localized results.
Initial setup requires a Google OAuth sign-in flow. Headless agents running in environments without interactive browser access will fail on the first authorization step.
What it helps with
- pull current front-page headlines by country
- track topic-specific news within a set hour window
- retrieve technology and business category feeds directly into prompts
- filter regional stories by standard language codes
Example prompts for the agent
- Get the top news headlines from the United States right now.
- Find recent articles about electric vehicles in Germany from the last 24 hours.
- Show me business news updates from the United Kingdom.
