NewsData

The NewsData.io MCP Server lets you connect NewsData.io’s news tools to Claude and other language model clients, enabling you to search latest, crypto, market, and archival news from within your AI assistant. It centralizes access to multiple news data streams and lets you filter by keywords, country, language, category, and more, so you can build natural language queries into your workflows.

How to use

Connect the NewsData.io MCP Server to your MCP client using either a local standard input/output (stdio) setup or an HTTP server mode. Once connected, you can ask your assistant natural language questions to retrieve tailored news results. Examples include asking for the latest AI news, crypto news for specific coins, market news for certain tickers, or historical archives for a given date range. You can also browse available sources by country, language, or category and apply filters such as keywords, sentiment, and deduplication.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing are Node.js version 18 or newer and a NewsData.io API key.

Install dependencies and build the MCP server locally.

Additional setup and configuration

You must provide your NewsData.io API key to enable the MCP server to query NewsData.io endpoints.
