Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that gives an assistant ranked news momentum signals and "what changed since" deltas on companies, people or topics, with links.

What you can do
  • Find accelerating story-events, optionally scoped to a beat, with trend, momentum, acceleration, outlet count, a runway hint and why-now.
  • Check what is new or has shifted in coverage of a company, person or topic since a given time, split into new versus updated story-events with importance and links.
  • Both tools return structured JSON with confidence and links to original reporting, not article text.
When to use it
Useful for recurring monitoring or research loops where an assistant needs to decide what to ride, publish or watch, or to answer "what's new since my last check" on an entity rather than re-running a stateless search.
Requirements
A remote streamable-HTTP endpoint; no API key is needed during the beta, and the free tier is limited to 15 calls per day. No local runtime, environment variables or headers are declared.
Before you install
Coverage is about 296 mainstream US/English sources and roughly two hours behind live, so it is not suited to sub-minute reactions. It is a beta with no SLA, returns signals and links only, and the free tier caps usage at 15 calls per day.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Newswake 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/io.github.almaestilo%2Fnewswake/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

newswake

News momentum & "what changed" — outcome tools for AI agents. An MCP server that returns decided answers about how news is moving, not a pile of articles.

Live: https://newswake-ajq8t.ondigitalocean.app · MCP endpoint: https://newswake-ajq8t.ondigitalocean.app/mcp (streamable-http, no key in beta, 15 calls/day free).

Why

Search APIs (Exa, Tavily, Brave, Perplexity) are stateless — every call re-searches from zero and remembers nothing about what a topic looked like last week. So an agent doing a recurring check on a company has no clean way to answer "what's new since last time," and the LLM can't reliably fake it. newswake tracks persistent story-events hour by hour, so "momentum" and "what changed" are real time-series.

Tools

  • find_trending(topic?, limit?) — story-events accelerating in attention right now: trend, momentum, a runway hint (ride now vs window closing), why-now, and a link. Scope to any beat.
  • whats_changed(entity, since?) — the delta on a company/person/topic: new vs updated story-events since a timestamp, with links. The stateful answer a search API can't give.

Both return structured JSON with confidence + links to original reporting — never article text.

Honest scope

~296 mainstream sources, US/English, ~2h behind live (built for monitoring/research loops, not sub-minute reactions). Beta; no SLA. Signals + links only.

Tools

whats_changed

The DELTA on an entity — what is new or has shifted in news coverage of a company/person/topic since a given time. Returns new vs updated story-events, trend, importance, and links. This is the stateful "what changed since my last check" that stateless search tools cannot answer. ~296 mainstream sources, signals + links only.
