Common questions
Is Fast News MCP safe?
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.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: RAPIDAPI_KEY
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 5 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?

Fast News MCP Server
Real-time news search, trending headlines, topic categories, and local news — exposed as MCP tools so your AI agent can query news in plain language. No HTTP boilerplate required.
The server is hosted by RapidAPI and connects via mcp-remote. All you need is a RapidAPI subscription and your API key.
Demo
See the Fast News API in action: [the-dispatcher-demo.vercel.app](https://the-dispatcher-demo.vercel.app/)
Get an API Key
- Subscribe on RapidAPI (free tier available)
- Your API key appears on the Endpoints tab
Every request needs two headers:
| Header | Value |
|---|---|
x-rapidapi-key | Your API key |
x-rapidapi-host | fast-news-with-previews.p.rapidapi.com |
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Node.js (for npx) and a free RapidAPI subscription.
Add the following to your AI agent's MCP server configuration. Replace YOUR-API-KEY with your RapidAPI key.
{"mcpServers": { "fast-news": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.rapidapi.com", "--header", "x-api-host: fast-news-with-previews.p.rapidapi.com", "--header", "x-api-key: YOUR-API-KEY" ] } } }
The
mcp-remotepackage is installed automatically bynpx. You don't need to install anything manually.
See the per-agent setup instructions below for client-specific details.
Alternative: npm package (secondary option)
Prefer the Quick Start above. Use this only if your setup specifically benefits from a single published package.
This repository is also published as the npm package @wllrdev/fast-news-mcp. It's a thin wrapper around mcp-remote that reads your key from the RAPIDAPI_KEY environment variable instead of the command line:
{"mcpServers": { "fast-news": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@wllrdev/fast-news-mcp"], "env": { "RAPIDAPI_KEY": "YOUR-API-KEY" } } } }
Available Tools
Once connected, your AI agent has access to these tools:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| search_news | Search any topic with filters for language, country, and timeframe. Supports source diversity and built-in deduplication. |
| advanced_search | Like search_news but with post-fetch controls — include/exclude specific sources, require thumbnails, and change sort order. |
| trending_headlines | Top headlines auto-translated into 40+ languages. Optionally filter by country and timeframe. |
| topic_categories | Browse 11 predefined categories: world, national, business, technology, entertainment, sports, science, health, politics, economy, environment. Combine two categories in one request. |
| local_news | News about a specific city, region, or area. |
For full parameter documentation, see the API reference.
