NewzAI MCP Server

News MCP Server for AI Agents | NewsAI

A news intelligence layer for MCP clients - not just a thin wrapper around search or RSS.

NewsAI is a news MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible AI agent instant access to real-time headlines and detailed news retrieval across 7 global regions, multiple languages, and any topic.

If you are looking for a serious news MCP, this is built for production agent workflows: no scraping, no RSS parsing, no brittle site adapters - just a single MCP endpoint with structured tools that work out of the box.

What This MCP Actually Does

Most "news MCP" offerings are thin wrappers around generic search or a single feed. NewsAI is positioned differently: MCP is the interface, but the product value is the news retrieval layer behind it.

Instead of forcing agents to browse raw pages or depend on vague web search results, NewsAI lets them ask for:

• Top headlines for a specific region
• Topic coverage from a predefined category like TECHNOLOGY or BUSINESS
• Custom-topic retrieval for any keyword or theme
• Recency-constrained news using lastnhours
• Multilingual retrieval using standard language codes

That makes it useful as an agent-facing news intelligence layer for assistants, research systems, market monitoring, and live RAG pipelines.

Why NewsAI Is Different

Architecture

AI Agent / MCP Client

Structured news results for the agent

The important point is that MCP is the delivery mechanism, not the entire product. The server exposes a compact, agent-usable tool surface on top of a live news retrieval system that already understands regional scope, topic intent, and freshness constraints.

Quick Setup

Add the NewsAI news MCP server to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "newzai": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.newzai.ai/mcp/"
    }
  }
}

Authentication required - Uses Google OAuth. You will be prompted to sign in on first use. No API key management needed for interactive clients.
