These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

It passed 1 of 1 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.
You need to fill in: ALLNEWSAPI_KEY, X-API-Key
Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Get access to real-time and historical news data including top headlines from global sources via AllNewsAPI. Supports multiple filter options including keyword search, category, language and more. This Model Context Protocol server lets MCP clients (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and others) search news articles, fetch top headlines, and check your API usage.
You'll need an API key — get one at allnewsapi.com.
Pick one of the two ways to connect.
Point your client at the hosted server and pass your API key in the X-API-Key header:
{
"mcpServers": { "allnewsapi": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://mcp.allnewsapi.com/mcp", "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" } } } }
Prefer a URL-only setup? Use https://mcp.allnewsapi.com/mcp?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE instead of the header.
The key can be supplied three ways, in this order of precedence: the X-API-Key header, the apikey query parameter, or an Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE header (a fallback for clients that only support bearer tokens).
Runs the server on your machine via npx — no clone or build needed:
{
"mcpServers": { "allnewsapi": { "command": "npx", "args": ["allnewsapi-mcp@latest", "--apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"] } } }
You can also supply the key as an ALLNEWSAPI_KEY environment variable instead of --apikey.
Claude Desktop
Edit your config (Settings → Developer → Edit Config) and add the local or hosted snippet above. Full guide: modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user.
Cursor
Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new MCP Server. Name it "AllNewsAPI", choose the command type, and enter:
npx allnewsapi-mcp@latest --apikey YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
VS Code
code --add-mcp '{"name":"allnewsapi","command":"npx","args":["allnewsapi-mcp@latest","--apikey","YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"]}'
The server is then available to your GitHub Copilot agent. Full guide: VS Code MCP docs.
Windsurf
Add the local or hosted snippet above to your MCP config. Full guide: Windsurf MCP docs.
Claude Code
Add it from the terminal — local:
claude mcp add allnewsapi -- npx allnewsapi-mcp@latest --apikey YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
Or the hosted server:
claude mcp add --transport http allnewsapi https://mcp.allnewsapi.com/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
Claude Cowork
Cowork runs inside Claude Desktop. Add the hosted server as a custom connector — Customize → Connectors → + — and enter the URL with your key:
https://mcp.allnewsapi.com/mcp?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
For a local setup, use the Claude Desktop config shown above.
OpenWork
OpenWork is an open-source Cowork alternative with MCP support. Add AllNewsAPI using either the local command (npx allnewsapi-mcp@latest --apikey YOUR_API_KEY_HERE) or the hosted URL above, following OpenWork's MCP configuration.
Any other MCP client: point it at the hosted URL (https://mcp.allnewsapi.com/mcp) or run the npx allnewsapi-mcp@latest command with your API key.
