Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account AllNewsAPI for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

AllNewsAPI lets an assistant search real-time and historical news articles, fetch top headlines, and check API quota through a hosted or local MCP server.

What you can do: Search news articles by keyword, date range, language, country, region, category, publisher, or sort order, optionally with full article content
Fetch top headlines filtered by country, category, language, sentiment, or named entity
Filter and enrich results with AI sentiment scores, detected entities, and short summaries
Check the current plan, request limits, and remaining quota
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to pull current or historical news coverage, monitor headlines by country or topic, or filter stories by sentiment or named entity while researching or drafting content.
Requirements: An AllNewsAPI key from allnewsapi.com. Either connect to the hosted endpoint at mcp.allnewsapi.com with the key in the X-API-Key header (or an apikey query parameter or bearer token), or run the npm package allnewsapi-mcp via npx with --apikey or the ALLNEWSAPI_KEY environment variable. Network access is required.

Before you install

The API key is a billable credential: it can be passed in a URL query parameter, which may end up in logs or shared configs, so prefer the header or environment variable. Advanced filters such as country, region, category, publisher, language, attributes, and sortby require a paid plan, and usage counts against your quota. Search queries and filters are sent to AllNewsAPI's servers.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open AllNewsAPI in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Connect X-API-Key credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
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/io.github.AllNewsAPI%2Fmcp-server/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

README

AllNewsAPI MCP

[npm] [Listed on mcpservers.org] [AllNewsAPI/mcp-server MCP server]

[AllNewsAPI/mcp-server MCP server]

Get access to real-time and historical news data including top headlines from global sources via AllNewsAPI. Supports multiple filter options including keyword search, category, language and more. This Model Context Protocol server lets MCP clients (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and others) search news articles, fetch top headlines, and check your API usage.

You'll need an API key — get one at allnewsapi.com.

Quick start

Pick one of the two ways to connect.

Hosted (no install)

Point your client at the hosted server and pass your API key in the X-API-Key header:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "allnewsapi": {      "type": "remote",      "url": "https://mcp.allnewsapi.com/mcp",      "headers": {        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"      }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "allnewsapi": {      "type": "remote",      "url": "https://mcp.allnewsapi.com/mcp",      "headers": {        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"      }    }  }}

Prefer a URL-only setup? Use https://mcp.allnewsapi.com/mcp?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE instead of the header.

The key can be supplied three ways, in this order of precedence: the X-API-Key header, the apikey query parameter, or an Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE header (a fallback for clients that only support bearer tokens).

Local (npx)

Runs the server on your machine via npx — no clone or build needed:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "allnewsapi": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["allnewsapi-mcp@latest", "--apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"]    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "allnewsapi": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["allnewsapi-mcp@latest", "--apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"]    }  }}

You can also supply the key as an ALLNEWSAPI_KEY environment variable instead of --apikey.

Client-specific setup

Claude Desktop

Edit your config (Settings → Developer → Edit Config) and add the local or hosted snippet above. Full guide: modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user.

Cursor

Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new MCP Server. Name it "AllNewsAPI", choose the command type, and enter:

VS Code

bash

code --add-mcp '{"name":"allnewsapi","command":"npx","args":["allnewsapi-mcp@latest","--apikey","YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"]}'

code --add-mcp '{"name":"allnewsapi","command":"npx","args":["allnewsapi-mcp@latest","--apikey","YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"]}'

The server is then available to your GitHub Copilot agent. Full guide: VS Code MCP docs.

Windsurf

Add the local or hosted snippet above to your MCP config. Full guide: Windsurf MCP docs.

Claude Code

Add it from the terminal — local:

Or the hosted server:

bash

claude mcp add --transport http allnewsapi https://mcp.allnewsapi.com/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"

claude mcp add --transport http allnewsapi https://mcp.allnewsapi.com/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"

Claude Cowork

Cowork runs inside Claude Desktop. Add the hosted server as a custom connector — Customize → Connectors → + — and enter the URL with your key:

For a local setup, use the Claude Desktop config shown above.

OpenWork

OpenWork is an open-source Cowork alternative with MCP support. Add AllNewsAPI using either the local command (npx allnewsapi-mcp@latest --apikey YOUR_API_KEY_HERE) or the hosted URL above, following OpenWork's MCP configuration.

Any other MCP client: point it at the hosted URL (https://mcp.allnewsapi.com/mcp) or run the npx allnewsapi-mcp@latest command with your API key.

Returned articles may also include AI sentiment scores, detected entities, and a short AI summary when available.
