MCP NewsAPI.ai

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for NewsAPI.ai (the Event Registry news intelligence API). It lets AI assistants like Claude search news articles and events (clusters of articles about the same happening), resolve names to entity URIs, see what is trending, and keep an eye on the account's token budget.

⚠️ NewsAPI.ai is metered in tokens

Every search spends tokens from your plan, and a free plan has a small budget. This server is built to be frugal:

characters, so a call is cheap in tokens and* in your assistant's context window.

  • Result counts default to 10 (articles/events) and article bodies to **300

(historical data costs extra tokens per year touched). allowarchive requires datestart and the datestart → dateend (default: today) range may span at most 1 year. A datestart/dateend older than 31 days without allow_archive is rejected with an explanation instead of silently returning nothing.

  • Searches are limited to the last 31 days unless you pass allow_archive: true

before they reach the API.

  • A search with no filter at all is rejected locally, before it can spend anything.
  • A session token budget (default 200 tokens, see below) stops runaway loops

URIs before searching.

  • The suggest tools and getusage are free — use them to resolve entities to
  • get_usage shows the remaining budget.

Costs measured against a live account (31-day window):

Plans and pricing change — see newsapi.ai/pricing and docs/api-notes.md.

Features

Ten read-only tools:

What's deliberately out of scope for v1

Topic pages and saved searches, the analytics service (text categorization, sentiment of arbitrary text), story clustering, article mentions, aggregation result types (conceptAggr, timeAggr, …) and multi-tenant configuration.
