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 pranciskus 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

Local MCP server that gives an assistant real-time world news events clustered from hundreds of sources, filterable by topic, region and time.

What you can do: List top news events with topic, geographic and time filters
Open a single event's full detail with context and all its sources
Look up the available topic categories
Look up the available geographic regions (100+)
Query the same data over a REST API instead of MCP
When to use it: Useful when an assistant needs current world news or background on recent events, for example summarizing what happened in a region or on a topic, or pulling sources for a story. It is a lightweight, free addition for research and news-aware workflows.
Requirements: Runs locally over stdio via npx, so Node.js and network access are needed. No API key, account or environment variables are declared.

Before you install

News content comes from third-party sources and is clustered and ranked by the provider, so accuracy and ranking should be verified against the cited sources. Queries are sent to the provider's service; no credentials are requested.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Newsmcp 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.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
