Structured news results for the agent

The important point is that MCP is the delivery mechanism, not the entire product. The server exposes a compact, agent-usable tool surface on top of a live news retrieval system that already understands regional scope, topic intent, and freshness constraints.

Quick Setup

Add the NewsAI news MCP server to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "newzai": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.newzai.ai/mcp/"
    }
  }
}

Authentication required - Uses Google OAuth. You will be prompted to sign in on first use. No API key management needed for interactive clients.

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.
