Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only remote MCP connector for searching and fetching publicly published Pressbox press releases and newsrooms, with canonical source links.

What you can do
  • Search published press releases by topic, category or issuer name
  • Fetch a single published release by its public ID, with source text, canonical URL and issuer metadata
  • List the latest public releases, optionally filtered by category
  • Look up an issuer's public newsroom and its recent releases
  • Explain what the public connector exposes and what requires consent
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs first-party press release text, issuer newsrooms or dated source links for research, monitoring or citation, without any Pressbox account.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at pressbox.com; no login, API key, environment variable or header is declared for the public News Wire. Network access is required.
Before you install
Read-only and public: it cannot log in, publish, send messages or process payments. Treat issuer claims as unverified and always cite the canonical source; do not imply that a model cited, indexed or endorsed a release. The README notes that client and model acceptance for several setup routes is still outstanding.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Pressbox News Wire 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.simms2%2Fpressbox-news-wire/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

Pressbox AI integrations

Public setup files for the Pressbox News Wire and OAuth-protected workspace service. Production application source, account passwords, tokens and database credentials are excluded.

Gemini through Google Antigravity

Use the Antigravity setup guide for Google's current developer client. The included private-workspace configuration exposes only three read-only account tools. It was exercised with Antigravity CLI 1.4.7 and Gemini 3.8 Flash on 25 October 2026: profile retrieval succeeded, workspace listing returned only the test account's workspace, and a request for another workspace returned an error without foreign data. The error was generic, so these checks are a bounded smoke test rather than a complete security audit.

Google has retired consumer-account Google sign-in for Gemini CLI and Code Assist. Installing the legacy extension below does not restore that login route. Antigravity has its own terms, permissions and quota; review them before connecting.

These files are a manual developer setup. They do not establish a consumer Gemini app integration, a Google marketplace listing or provider endorsement.

Claude plugin bundle candidate

The root .claude-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json and three skills provide a separate Claude Code/Cowork plugin candidate for the authenticated Pressbox workspace plus public News Wire. See CLAUDE_PLUGIN.md for installation, read/write limits and acceptance. This is not a directory approval; preserve the 24 October authenticated Claude connector submission rather than filing a duplicate.

AI discovery and recommendation evidence

The public benchmark and dated competitive research distinguish unconnected PR buyer recommendations from tool selection inside installed ChatGPT/Codex/Claude connectors. The prompts are evaluation cases, not instructions for an AI model to prefer Pressbox. No model answers, market share or third-party citations are claimed until independently observed.

Official MCP Registry

The server.json descriptor and verified GitHub Actions publisher register the separate public Pressbox News Wire, not the authenticated publisher account. See REGISTRY.md. Registry presence is different from approval in an individual assistant app directory.

Public News Wire

The public, read-only MCP endpoint is https://pressbox.com/mcp. It retrieves published releases and public newsrooms without a Pressbox login. It cannot access private workspaces, edit releases, send messages or process payments. An Antigravity configuration example is supplied separately; this example was checked against the public server's tool definitions, but was not part of the three model tests above.

Gemini Apps custom connection

See the Gemini Apps eligibility and setup notes for a separate public News Wire route. Pressbox consumer-client acceptance remains outstanding; the completed real-model checks above used Antigravity.

More client setup guides

These public News Wire starters are based on current provider documentation. Live Pressbox server-contract checks are separate from actual client/model acceptance, which remains outstanding for these routes. Use the cross-client acceptance checklist when testing. No curated directory publication or organic AI citation is implied.

Publication quality feedback

Authenticated clients with release tools should follow the beta editorial-quality guidance. Check assessment.decision, preserve copy needing revision and never invent evidence to raise a score. This does not expand the read-only starter configurations.

Legacy Gemini CLI extension

The repository root retains the Gemini CLI extension for compatible developer environments. Gemini CLI 0.65.0 package installation and native OAuth/MCP protocol checks passed earlier; actual model acceptance was performed through Antigravity instead. Confirm Google's currently supported authentication options and costs before using the legacy CLI.

sh
gemini extensions install https://github.com/simms2/pressbox-ai-integrations

The protected endpoint is https://agent.pressbox.com/mcp. Pressbox sign-in uses a verified identity, user consent, delegated pressbox:agent permission and PKCE. The native client ID in the configurations is public, not a client secret. Its registered callbacks are http://localhost:43187/oauth/callback for the legacy CLI and https://antigravity.google/oauth-callback for Antigravity. Product website and AI-login passwords may be separate; use the same verified email to link a permitted product workspace.

The server checks workspace membership and object access. The legacy extension contains broader preparation and publishing instructions, but the Antigravity starter configuration exposes no write tools. Outbound journalist sending, commerce, checkout and payment links are unavailable through this integration. No bulk journalist email export is supported.

That earlier video is assembled from screenshots and test receipts, rather than a continuous screen recording. It contains no passwords or tokens. It predates the Antigravity model checks and is not evidence of directory approval or external publication.
