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 mrfentmen 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

Lets an assistant search The Guardian for news articles and related content without an API key.

What you can do: This local MCP server connects an assistant to The Guardian's news and article search. Based on the registry description, it provides news and article search from The Guardian and requires no key. The manifest does not list individual tools, so the exact tool names and parameters are not documented here.
When to use it: Worth adding when you want an assistant to look up Guardian news coverage or articles while working in a desktop client. It is a narrow, single-source news search rather than a general web search tool.
Requirements: Runs as a local process over stdio, installed from the npm package @mrfentmen/guardian-mcp, so Node.js and npm are needed. No API key, environment variables, or headers are declared. Desktop only; not available as a web executable.

Before you install

No credentials or secrets are requested, and no write, send, or delete actions are described. Search queries are sent to The Guardian's service, so treat queries as data shared with a third party. The manifest lists no tools, so verify actual behavior after installing.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Guardian Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
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.
