MCP News Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that extends LLM capabilities with real-time news data integration.

Overview

This MCP server allows Large Language Models to access current news data through NewsAPI integration. It provides real-time context and information to enhance LLM responses with up-to-date news content.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16 or higher)
• NewsAPI key (get one at https://newsapi.org)
• GitHub Personal Access Token (for GitHub integration)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-news-server.git
cd mcp-news-server

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root directory with your API keys:

NEWS_API_KEY=your_news_api_key_here
GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_github_token_here

Configuration

The MCP server configuration is managed through the mcp.json file. Here's how to configure different servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "news": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NEWS_API_KEY": "your_news_api_key_here"
      }

  }
}
