MCP server for the NewsAgent Data API — scored, classified Russian & English news intelligence for AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Cline).
NewsAgent Data — MCP server
以下摘录自该仓库的 README(片段) · 在 GitHub 读完整 README →
Query scored, classified Russian & English news from any MCP client (Claude
Desktop, Cursor, Cline, etc.). The server wraps the
NewsAgent Data API — every article it returns is
already scored for urgency (0–10), classified by political lean, topic, country
and audience, and de-duplicated.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|------|--------------|
| get_feed | Filtered feed — by country, topic, language, political lean, audience, min urgency, date range |
| search_news | Full-text keyword search across the archive |
| get_breaking | Recent high-urgency news (urgency ≥ 7 by default) |
| coverage_stats | Live totals — articles, sources, countries, languages (no key) |
| list_sources | Source catalog metadata (Standard tier+) |
Setup
1. Get a free API key: https://newsagentdata.com/signup/?plan=free
2. Install deps: pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Add to your MCP client config. **Claude Desktop** (claude_desktop_config.json):
**Cursor / Cline**: point the MCP server command at newsagent_mcp.py the same way, with NEWSAGENT_API_KEY in the env.
4. Restart the client. The five tools appear automatically.
Example prompts
- *"Get breaking sanctions news from Russia scored 7 or higher."*
- *"Search the news for 'central bank rate' in the last 14 days, English only."*
- *"Compare how state vs opposition sources covered Ukraine this week."* (uses get_feed with political_lean)
- *"What's the live coverage — how many countries and sources?"*
The agent picks the right tool and filters; results come back pre-scored and
classified, so no NLP pipeline is needed on your side.
Notes
- Free/Developer tiers have a history window (1–7 days) and daily quotas; the
server surfaces 401/403/429 as clear errors.
- list_sources requires a Standard-tier key; channel handles are never exposed.
- Set NEWSAGENT_API_BASE to override the API host (defaults to
