News Mcp Server

Overview

News Mcp Server is a Model Context Protocol server that brings real-time news from major sources directly into your AI assistant. It pulls the latest stories from AP, BBC, NPR, Hacker News, and Google News, making current events accessible as tools your AI can invoke on demand.

The server runs locally through the npm package @thenextgennexus/news-mcp-server, communicating with your system via stdio. Installation is straightforward using npx -y @thenextgennexus/news-mcp-server. You'll need to provide an APIFY_TOKEN via environment variables to authenticate with the news sources. The latest release is v1.0.1, and the full source code is available at TheNextGenNexus/web-intelligence-mcp-servers on GitHub.

News Mcp Server is listed in the Development category on mcp.site and works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients.
