Overview

What is 📰 News MCP Server?

This server integrates news data with AI analysis through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides three tools—news retrieval with AI summaries, pros/cons analysis, and timeline building—allowing users to combine news articles with Claude’s analytical capabilities.

How to use 📰 News MCP Server?

Requires Python 3.13+, API keys from NewsAPI (free) and Anthropic (paid), and either UV or pip for dependencies. Set keys in a .env file, then run python news.py and connect to Claude Desktop by adding the server to claude_desktop_config.json.

Key features of 📰 News MCP Server

Frequently asked questions

1

Do I need API keys?

Yes. You must obtain a free NewsAPI key and a paid Anthropic (Claude) API key, then add them to a `.env` file.

2

What are the costs involved?

NewsAPI’s free tier allows 1 000 requests/month. Claude API is pay‑per‑token (~$0.25/1M tokens for the Haiku model). Moderate use typically costs $5–15/month.

3

What if "no articles found"?

Check that `NEWS_API_KEY` is correctly set in `.env` and that the key is valid on NewsAPI’s website.

4

What if Claude analysis fails?

Verify `CLAUDE_API_KEY` is correct, ensure you have credits on your Anthropic account, and confirm network access to `api.anthropic.com`.

5

What runtime and dependencies are required?

Python 3.13+, plus the packages `httpx`, `mcp[cli]`, and `python-dotenv`. UV is recommended for dependency management.
