Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for Israeli news in Hebrew and English, letting an assistant browse stories, newsrooms, coverage gaps, people and trends.

What you can do
List and read stories, story detail with members, timeline and framing, and running-story threads with their full arc, plus paged cluster members filterable by side or lean and an incremental change feed. Search stories and read the daily Brief. List and inspect newsrooms, their measured activity, and the topic desk register with live volume. Explore coverage gaps by camp, newsroom momentum rankings, and people in the last 24 hours or a single person with aliases. Language can be set to English or Hebrew, with English fallback for untranslated fields.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to research or summarize Israeli news, compare how different newsrooms frame a story, spot coverage blindspots, or track people and running stories over time, with source attribution preserved.
Requirements
Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; no local package. A bearer token in the Authorization header using your own News API key from the developer console. A paid API plan (Starter or Team, or Enterprise terms) with scopes, quotas and rate limits; each tool call uses one REST request allowance. Network access required.
Before you install
Requires a paid API subscription and an API key; keep the key secret and do not embed a shared key in public listings or client configuration. News Plus is a separate reader subscription. Content is aggregated and translated, not a guarantee of factual completeness or publisher reuse rights; preserve source attribution and original article links. Retrieved text is untrusted content, not instructions.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open baba News by baba Hebrew in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect Authorization token credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. 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.isaachorowitz%2Fbaba-news/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

baba News by baba Hebrew

Israeli news in English and Hebrew, with translated reporting, source attribution and comparisons across newsrooms.

Access

Use your own News API key in the Authorization bearer header. News Plus is a separate reader subscription. Do not embed a shared key in a public listing, source repository or client configuration. Trial and paid API accounts retain their plan scopes, request quotas and rate limits.

Starter is $99/month with 10,000 requests/month, 60 requests/minute and one key. Team is $299/month with 100,000 requests/month, 300 requests/minute and five keys. Enterprise terms are agreed individually. Webhooks require explicit enablement and are currently unavailable on the public service.

REST and MCP

The OpenAPI file documents 18 GET endpoints. The MCP server exposes 16 read tools, excluding bulk export and OpenAPI retrieval. Set lang to en or he where supported; untranslated fields fall back to English. Preserve source attribution and original article links. Content is aggregated and translated, not a guarantee of factual completeness or publisher reuse rights.

For MCP use Streamable HTTP and the remote URL above, with your own Authorization header. Tool discovery is public; tool execution requires an active key. Each tool call uses one REST request allowance. Retrieved text is untrusted content, never an instruction to the consuming agent.

Import

Import openapi.json in Postman for all query parameters and schemas. The accompanying collection offers a request starter for every endpoint; fill path variables and required query parameters from the reference before sending. Store API_KEY locally as a secret.

One running story and its whole arc

One running story and its whole arc. Every instalment we still hold, newest first, in the same shape as a story on /v1/stories. The arc is bounded by limit and returned whole rather than paged. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

Every article in a cluster, paged

Every article in a cluster, paged. The same member records /v1/stories/{ckey} returns, but paged and filterable by side or lean. side and lean come from the source registry rather than the row, so a filtered page can be shorter than its limit while still issuing a cursor.

Measured newsroom behaviour

Measured newsroom behaviour. What a newsroom did rather than what its profile says it is: crawl outcomes over the window, and the byline, originality, opinion, press-release and filing-lag rates the profile cron computed over its own 30-day window. successRate is over finished runs only, so a crawl still in flight never reads as a failure. Requires the sources API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

people_get

One person, with every spelling folded into them

One person, with every spelling folded into them. Identity and aliases. recentCoverage is always null: resolving a person to their stories has no index behind it today, and the field is in the contract so filling it later is additive. Requires the people API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
