Guardian Mcp Server

cyanheads/guardian-mcp-server

Wraps The Guardian's Open Platform API to search and retrieve full article text from their journalism archive spanning 1999 to present. You get three tools: full-text search with section, tag, contributor, and date filters; single-article retrieval by path slug; and a browse mode that surfaces sections, tags, and latest content. Body text comes back HTML-stripped and truncated at 2,000 words with a flag telling you when to fetch the complete version. Needs a free Guardian API key from their developer program. Useful when you're building research tools, news aggregators, or anything that needs access to quality journalism with proper metadata and contributor attribution rather than scraping.
