ClarityBriefs MCP Server
Free, cross-lingual compact news briefings for AI agents — across 89 languages, in one call.
ClarityBriefs exposes a hosted, read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI agents and assistants can pull token-efficient news briefings on any topic — including foreign-language news pools an English-only agent can't easily reach.
Tools (public, no auth)
A Pro API key (sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>) additionally unlocks briefing-management tools (list / preview / create / pause / resume / rename).
