{
  "mcpServers": {
    "manimohans-verge-news-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/verge-news-mcp/build/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You can run a compact MCP server that fetches and searches The Verge news feed. It exposes tools to get today’s headlines, a random slice of the past week, and keyword-based searches, making it easy to build apps or chat assistants that stay up to date with Verge coverage.

How to use

Connect to the Verge News MCP server from any MCP client. You will access three built-in tools: get-daily-news to fetch the latest 24 hours of Verge articles, get-weekly-news to retrieve a random selection from the past seven days, and search-news to find articles containing a keyword.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and npm installed on your system.

Clone the repository, install dependencies, and build the project.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/manimohans/verge-news-mcp.git
cd verge-news-mcp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

Additional notes

Configuration in MCP clients uses a local runtime command. The server runs as a local process accessed via a stdio interface.

Configuration and notes

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "verge_news": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/verge-news-mcp/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

If the server fails to start, verify that Node.js and npm are installed, then confirm the build output exists at the specified path. Ensure you use the exact path to the built index.js as shown in the configuration snippet.
