Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP endpoint that gives an assistant news from 17 outlets, tagged by left/center/right bias, with one-sided blindspot detection.

What you can do
  • Retrieve news stories drawn from 17 outlets.
  • See each outlet's political bias tag (left, center or right).
  • Identify blindspots where coverage is one-sided.
  • No tool list is published, so exact operations are not documented.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to compare how outlets across the political spectrum cover a story, or to flag topics covered from only one side. Less relevant if you need general web search or non-news sources.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at news.heyitsmejosh.com; no package, account, API key or header is declared. Network access to that host is required.
Before you install
Bias tags and blindspot labels are editorial judgments supplied by the service, so treat them as one perspective rather than fact. Queries go to a third-party host, and no authentication or privacy terms are declared.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Sidewise 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.nulljosh%2Fnewsline/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

Score

35% of the applicable checks met

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.

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

  • Auth declaredRequired10 pts

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