概覽

AI 產生的概覽

本機 MCP 伺服器，透過 RapidAPI 的 Fast News with Previews API，讓助理進行新聞搜尋、熱門頭條、主題分類與地方新聞查詢。

可以做什麼: 依主題搜尋新聞，可依語言、國家與時間範圍篩選，具備來源多樣性與去重，並可在取得後控制包含或排除來源、要求縮圖及變更排序。取得熱門頭條，可依國家與時間範圍篩選，並自動翻譯成多種語言。瀏覽預設的主題分類，可在一次請求中組合兩個分類。查找特定城市、地區或區域的新聞。
適用情境: 適合讓助理用自然語言回答時事、熱門話題或地方新聞相關問題，無須自行撰寫 HTTP 呼叫。適用於研究與新聞監測類提示，而非典藏或全文文章檢索。
執行需求: 需要 Node.js 以使用 npx，因為它是透過 mcp-remote 或 npm 套件在本機執行。需要訂閱 RapidAPI 上的 Fast News with Previews API 並取得 API 金鑰，透過 RAPIDAPI_KEY 環境變數或 x-api-key 標頭（搭配 x-api-host）提供。需要連線至 RapidAPI 的網路存取。

安裝前請注意

需要 RapidAPI 金鑰，會在命令列或設定中傳遞，請勿放入共用檔案。請求與查詢會傳送至第三方 RapidAPI 服務，使用情形受該訂閱方案與配額限制。這些工具僅讀取新聞，不會寫入或變更資料。

安裝

在 SourceWeft 中

開啟儀表板中的 Fast News MCP，將其新增到工作區。
為需要使用其工具的對話啟用該服務。

Desktop only，透過 STDIO。 STDIO 服務會啟動本機處理程序，因此需要 SourceWeft 桌面主機。

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.
