Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted, read-only MCP server that gives assistants token-efficient news briefings on any topic, including foreign-language sources across 89 languages.

What you can do
  • Get a compact briefing on a topic, with headline, summary, source, URL, language and publish date per article
  • Search recent news in the ClarityBriefs database for headlines and sources, up to 10 matches
  • Request cross-lingual coverage by passing source languages so foreign-language news pools are searched too
  • List popular public briefing topics as ideas to track
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs quick, cited news context on a topic without calling a live news API, especially when coverage in non-English languages matters. Also handy for suggesting topics worth following.
Requirements
A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; no account or key for the public tools. Claude Desktop needs the mcp-remote bridge via npx, which requires Node.js. An optional Bearer API key unlocks Pro briefing-management tools.
Before you install
Public tools are anonymous and read-only; the optional API key is sent as an Authorization Bearer header and should be kept private. Results come from a third-party database and link to original publishers, which the terms ask you to cite along with claritybriefs.com. AI training and bulk use are licensed, not free.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Claritybriefs in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.claritybriefs%2Fmcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

ClarityBriefs MCP Server

Free, cross-lingual compact news briefings for AI agents — across 89 languages, in one call.

ClarityBriefs exposes a hosted, read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI agents and assistants can pull token-efficient news briefings on any topic — including foreign-language news pools an English-only agent can't easily reach.

Tools (public, no auth)

ToolWhat it does
get_compact_briefCompact briefing on a topic. Cross-lingual: pass source_languages (e.g. ["ko","ja","de"]) to also search foreign news pools — each article tagged with its source language.
search_newsRecent news headlines + sources for a topic.
suggest_topicsPopular public topics to brief on.

A Pro API key (sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>) additionally unlocks briefing-management tools (list / preview / create / pause / resume / rename).

Connect from Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop talks to local (stdio) MCP servers, so use the mcp-remote bridge to reach this hosted HTTP server. Requires Node.js.

Edit your claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config) and add:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "claritybriefs": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://claritybriefs.com/api/mcp"]    }  }}

For the Pro tools, add your API key:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "claritybriefs": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://claritybriefs.com/api/mcp",        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"      ]    }  }}

Quit Claude Desktop fully (Cmd+Q) and reopen. The tools appear under the connectors / tools icon.

Call it directly (any MCP client)

bash
curl -s https://claritybriefs.com/api/mcp \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","id":1,"params":{        "name":"get_compact_brief",        "arguments":{"topic":"artificial intelligence regulation","language":"en","source_languages":["ko","ja","de"],"limit":6}}}'

Each returned article includes headline, summary, source, url, language, published.
