Overview
NewsAgent Data wraps the NewsAgent Data API so any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline) can query news that is already urgency-scored (0–10), classified by a 9-category political lean, and tagged by topic, country and audience — across 190+ countries, 40+ languages and 12,000+ sources including 2,600+ live Telegram channels.
Tools
- get_feed — filtered feed (country, topic, language, lean, audience, min urgency, date range)
- search_news — full-text keyword search across the archive
- get_breaking — recent high-urgency items (urgency ≥ 7 by default)
- coverage_stats — live totals: articles, sources, countries, languages (no key required)
- list_sources — source catalog metadata (Standard tier+)
