mcp-news

Global news and market intelligence MCP server — 20 tools covering breaking news, tech (Hacker News), finance (Yahoo Finance), crypto (CoinGecko), science (ArXiv), cybersecurity (CVE/CISA), sports (BBC), and climate…

What it gives an agent

A purpose-built capability behind one MCP connection.

The server owns its domain logic and publishes a tool contract an MCP client can discover. ADK-Rust can load that contract into an agent, normalize each schema for the chosen model provider, and keep the connection lifecycle outside the agent’s business logic.

01

Provides news capabilities through a typed MCP contract.

Architecture

How mcp-news fits into an agent system.

The model never needs the implementation details or credentials of the system behind the server. It sees reviewed tool definitions. The MCP client handles discovery and calls, while the server keeps ownership of validation, policy, and communication with its domain system.

01

ADK-Rust agent

Chooses a capability from the reviewed tool catalog.

02

MCP client

Discovers schemas, sends calls, and receives typed content.

03

mcp-news

Validates the request and owns 20 documented tool contracts.

04

Domain system

Keeps the API, data, credentials, and business rules behind the server.

Connection: stdio · Server framework: ADK MCP SDK + rmcp

This repository does not currently publish a dedicated architecture SVG. The integration diagram above is generated from its documented transport and server boundary; use the official README for implementation-specific details.

Tool catalog

What can an agent ask mcp-news to do?

Each tool has a stable name, a human-readable purpose, and a JSON input contract discovered during MCP initialization. Risk classes come from the project’s registry manifest when one is available.

Governance

Understand the effect of every tool.

A server connection inherits the authority of its credentials and deployment environment. The declarations below come from this project’s README and MCP registry manifest; your application still decides which tools an agent receives and where approval is required.

  • The registry manifest declares read only tool risk classes.

MCP surface

What the current documentation declares.

MCP can carry tools, resources, prompts, structured results, progress, cancellation, and long-running work. This record highlights the modern protocol features explicitly mentioned by this repository.

The current README concentrates on its tool surface. Check the source and release notes before relying on optional MCP capabilities beyond tool discovery and invocation.

Install and connect

Follow the project’s documented starting point.

Install the server in the environment that owns its credentials and domain access. Add it to your MCP host, verify the discovered tools, and narrow the toolset before giving it to a production agent.

Install
cargo install mcp-news
MCP client configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "news": {
      "command": "mcp-news",
      "env": {
        "GNEWS_API_KEY": "optional",
        "NEWSAPI_KEY": "optional"
      }
    }
  }
}

Commands and configuration are extracted from the public README. Confirm prerequisites, environment variables, and release-specific options in the official documentation before deployment.
