MCP support

The hosted MCP server is available at `https://news-search-mcp.webz.io/mcp`. MCP clients discover its tools and filters at runtime through `tools/list`.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Webz News Search integrations

Public SDKs for the hosted Webz.io News Search MCP server:

https://news-search-mcp.webz.io/mcp

The MCP server is the source of truth. These packages are thin clients. New filters and tools on the server show up at runtime through tools/list.

Gemini CLI

The webz-io extension connects Gemini CLI directly to seven hosted Webz.io MCP servers: News Search, News, Blogs, Forums, and the three segmentation servers. Tool schemas and OAuth settings are discovered from the live servers.

gemini extensions install https://github.com/Webhose/webz-news-search

Restart Gemini CLI and use /mcp auth <server-name> to connect the products your account can access. For example: /mcp auth webz-news-search. Setup, server list, and examples.

Kiro Power

The webz-io Power connects Kiro to all seven hosted Webz.io MCP servers, with skills for public web research and content segmentation. Import packages/kiro-power from the Kiro Powers panel to connect your Webz.io account. Installation, authentication, and examples.

Webz.io product access and credits are required. Privacy Policy · Support.

Direct API client

webzio-news-search calls the News Search API (POST /api/news/context) directly with httpx, returns typed results, and ships a JSON tool schema plus run_tool() for any LLM with function calling. Use it when you do not want an MCP client or agent framework in the loop.

The n8n community node n8n-nodes-webz-news-search calls the same endpoint. The built-in n8n MCP Client Tool still talks to the hosted MCP server.

Official MCP Registry

The bundle in mcp-registry/ publishes the hosted server to registry.modelcontextprotocol.io as io.webz/news-search. Aggregators such as PulseMCP and Glama ingest the official registry, so this listing propagates downstream automatically. Publishing requires a one-time DNS TXT record on webz.io — see mcp-registry/PUBLISHING.md.

Groq

No package. Groq's Responses API speaks remote MCP itself, so you pass the hosted server in tools and Groq runs tools/list and tools/call server side.

Reference implementation, runnable examples, and the groq-api-cookbook contribution bundle are in packages/groq.

n8n

Two paths:

  • Community node (n8n-nodes-webz-news-search): calls POST https://api.webz.io/api/news/context. Standalone workflows, structured article output, and optional use as an AI Agent tool.
  • Built-in MCP Client Tool (n8n/): no install step; connect an AI Agent directly to the MCP server so filters still come from tools/list at runtime.

Setup steps and importable workflow templates are in n8n/.

Apify

Not a PyPI package. The Actor is webzio/news-search. Users pay Apify. The Actor calls POST https://api.webz.io/api/news/context with one shared Webz token and writes one dataset row per article.

Docs draft: docs/apify_integration_doc.md

Dify

Not a PyPI package. Dify Marketplace installs a .difypkg plugin from packages/dify. After the listing PR is merged, search for Webz News Search on marketplace.dify.ai. Dify v1.6+ can also add https://news-search-mcp.webz.io/mcp under Tools → MCP without a plugin.

New to MCP?

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.
