What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

news
Search already-synthesized news events — pre-built story digests — or fetch one by id. Each story comes with a generated headline, one-liner, abstract, key actors, and industry/event-type labels. Use it for a quick digest of what happened, for deal/incident-type or industry filte
get_story
Expand one story: full summary, classification, actors, and source links. Use this after any search, when the user wants more than the digest line for a particular story. It is the only tool that can return a story's complete source list.
check_coverage
Judge how widely and how independently a claim has been reported. Answers "is this real?" rather than returning a list. Reports the number of INDEPENDENT newsrooms — outlets that reported it themselves — separately from the number of domains that carried it, which includes syndic
check_limits
Report what this caller may do right now — and never spend any of it to find out. Answers the questions the `news` tool descriptions cannot: how many searches are left this hour, how far back this plan reaches, the largest `limit` it allows, how many searches may run at once, and
check_health
Check whether the NewsMCP REST API is reachable and healthy. Does not require an API token. Use when diagnosing connectivity, not for searching news. For allowances and remaining budget use `check_limits` instead. Returns: str: Health status reported by the API.

Common questions

Is NewsMCP safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?
