News Mcp Server

com.thenextgennexus/news-mcp-server

Pulls headlines and articles from AP News, BBC, NPR, Hacker News, and Google News through a unified interface with built-in deduplication across sources. Exposes search_news for keyword and date filtering, get_press_releases for PR Newswire content, monitor_reddit and monitor_hackernews for community signal, plus media_sentiment and source_compare tools for analyzing coverage trends and cross-outlet framing. Runs on Apify infrastructure at roughly $0.002 per tool call, making it cheaper than fixed-price services like NewsAPI when your agent only needs periodic checks. Good fit for brand monitoring workflows, equity research bots that scan ticker mentions, or any agent that needs to compare how the same story lands across different outlets without manually orchestrating multiple API clients.
