Entra News
Wraps Merill Fernando's Entra.news newsletter archive in a searchable MCP interface. Exposes four tools: semantic hybrid search across all issues, issue retrieval by number or date, archive browsing with year/month filters, and a tool mention finder for community projects. Downloads a ~15MB SQLite database with FTS5 and sqlite-vec on first run, checks weekly for updates. Defaults to BM25 keyword search but switches to OpenAI embeddings if you set an API key. Reach for this when you need to surface Microsoft Entra coverage, Conditional Access changes, or community tooling mentions without manually digging through past issues. The database gets rebuilt automatically via GitHub Actions every Sunday.
