Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that lets an assistant fetch and search latest news from AP, BBC, NPR, Hacker News and Google News via Apify.

What you can do
  • Fetch latest articles from AP, BBC and NPR
  • Get top stories from Hacker News
  • Search Google News for a topic
  • Forward each request to the nexgendata Apify endpoint and return the results
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to pull current headlines or look up recent coverage on a topic from several major outlets without leaving the chat.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio, typically launched with npx or installed globally with npm, so Node.js is needed. An Apify API token in APIFY_TOKEN is optional; without it the server uses a rate-limited public endpoint. Network access to Apify is required.
Before you install
Requests and results pass through the third-party Apify endpoint. The APIFY_TOKEN credential is optional but grants authenticated access, so keep it out of shared configs. Results depend on Apify actor availability and may be rate-limited without a token.

Installation

In SourceWeft

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

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

How It Works

This MCP server acts as a local stdio bridge to the nexgendata Apify MCP endpoint. When you call a tool, it forwards the request to Apify and returns the results.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
