概览

AI 生成的概览

本地 MCP 服务器，通过 RapidAPI 的 Fast News with Previews API 让助手进行新闻搜索、热门头条、主题分类和本地新闻查询。

可以做什么: 按主题搜索新闻，可按语言、国家和时间范围筛选，具备来源多样性和去重，并可在获取后控制包含或排除来源、要求缩略图及更改排序。获取热门头条，可按国家和时间范围筛选，并自动翻译成多种语言。浏览预设的主题分类，可在一次请求中组合两个分类。查找特定城市、地区或区域的新闻。
适用场景: 适合让助手用自然语言回答时事、热门话题或本地新闻相关问题，无需自己编写 HTTP 调用。适用于研究和新闻监测类提示，而非存档或全文文章检索。
运行要求: 需要 Node.js 以使用 npx，因为它是通过 mcp-remote 或 npm 包在本地运行。需要订阅 RapidAPI 上的 Fast News with Previews API 并获取 API 密钥，通过 RAPIDAPI_KEY 环境变量或 x-api-key 请求头（配合 x-api-host）提供。需要访问 RapidAPI 的网络连接。

安装前请注意

需要 RapidAPI 密钥，会在命令行或配置中传递，请勿放入共享文件。请求和查询会发送到第三方 RapidAPI 服务，使用受该订阅套餐和配额限制。这些工具只读取新闻，不会写入或更改数据。

安装

在 SourceWeft 中

打开控制台中的 Fast News MCP，将其添加到工作区。
为需要使用其工具的对话启用该服务。

Desktop only，通过 STDIO。 STDIO 服务会启动本地进程，因此需要 SourceWeft 桌面宿主。

其他 MCP 客户端

参照仓库中的启动说明。

README

Fast News MCP Server

[npm version] [RapidAPI] [License]

Real-time news search, trending headlines, topic categories, and local news — exposed as MCP tools so your AI agent can query news in plain language. No HTTP boilerplate required.

The server is hosted by RapidAPI and connects via mcp-remote. All you need is a RapidAPI subscription and your API key.

Demo

See the Fast News API in action: the-dispatcher-demo.vercel.app

Get an API Key

Subscribe on RapidAPI (free tier available)
Your API key appears on the Endpoints tab

Every request needs two headers:

Quick Start

Prerequisites: Node.js (for npx) and a free RapidAPI subscription.

Add the following to your AI agent's MCP server configuration. Replace YOUR-API-KEY with your RapidAPI key.

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "fast-news": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "mcp-remote",        "https://mcp.rapidapi.com",        "--header",        "x-api-host: fast-news-with-previews.p.rapidapi.com",        "--header",        "x-api-key: YOUR-API-KEY"      ]    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "fast-news": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "mcp-remote",        "https://mcp.rapidapi.com",        "--header",        "x-api-host: fast-news-with-previews.p.rapidapi.com",        "--header",        "x-api-key: YOUR-API-KEY"      ]    }  }}

The mcp-remote package is installed automatically by npx. You don't need to install anything manually.

See the per-agent setup instructions below for client-specific details.

Alternative: npm package (secondary option)

Prefer the Quick Start above. Use this only if your setup specifically benefits from a single published package.

This repository is also published as the npm package @wllrdev/fast-news-mcp. It's a thin wrapper around mcp-remote that reads your key from the RAPIDAPI_KEY environment variable instead of the command line:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "fast-news": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@wllrdev/fast-news-mcp"],      "env": {        "RAPIDAPI_KEY": "YOUR-API-KEY"      }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "fast-news": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@wllrdev/fast-news-mcp"],      "env": {        "RAPIDAPI_KEY": "YOUR-API-KEY"      }    }  }}

Available Tools

Once connected, your AI agent has access to these tools:

Tool	Description
search_news	Search any topic with filters for language, country, and timeframe. Supports source diversity and built-in deduplication.
advanced_search	Like search_news but with post-fetch controls — include/exclude specific sources, require thumbnails, and change sort order.
trending_headlines	Top headlines auto-translated into 40+ languages. Optionally filter by country and timeframe.
topic_categories	Browse 11 predefined categories: world, national, business, technology, entertainment, sports, science, health, politics, economy, environment. Combine two categories in one request.
local_news	News about a specific city, region, or area.

For full parameter documentation, see the API reference.
