Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for worldwide news search, Hacker News stories, and reading any RSS or Atom feed as JSON.

What you can do
  • Search global online news from the last N hours by keyword, optionally filtered by source country
  • List top, new or best Hacker News stories, or search them by keyword
  • Read an RSS or Atom feed and return its items as JSON
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs current news coverage, tech community discussion from Hacker News, or the contents of a specific RSS/Atom feed, without building separate integrations for each source.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local install. No account needed for the free daily allowance; an optional bearer key in the Authorization header raises the limit and is obtained from the provider's key endpoint. Each tool call costs one credit.
Before you install
Calls are metered at one credit per tool call, so usage beyond the free daily allowance requires a key and may involve paid quota. The optional Authorization bearer key is a secret and should be kept out of logs and shared transcripts. Queries and feed URLs are sent to the provider's endpoint.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open UK Data: News and feeds 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/uk.co.reliness%2Fnews-feeds/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

83% 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.
