CiteWire

Overview

CiteWire is a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants to free news sources and article APIs with attribution at its core. Instead of switching between tools, Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients can call CiteWire's resources directly as integrated capabilities.

The server runs locally on your machine via npx -y citewire with no authentication required. Built as an npm package speaking MCP over stdio, it launches ready to use. CiteWire v0.2.0 is published under the MIT license, with full source code available at Openly-Useful/citewire on GitHub.

CiteWire is listed in the Development category on mcp.site and works with any MCP client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this project, you can claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
