MCP News Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that extends LLM capabilities with real-time news data integration.

Overview

This MCP server allows Large Language Models to access current news data through NewsAPI integration. It provides real-time context and information to enhance LLM responses with up-to-date news content.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (v16 or higher)
  • NewsAPI key (get one at https://newsapi.org)
  • GitHub Personal Access Token (for GitHub integration)

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-news-server.git
cd mcp-news-server
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Create a .env file in the root directory with your API keys:
NEWS_API_KEY=your_news_api_key_here
GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_github_token_here

Configuration

The MCP server configuration is managed through the mcp.json file. Here's how to configure different servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "news": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "dist/index.js"

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
