News Mcp Server
Wire your coding agent to pull deduplicated headlines from major outlets and Hacker News while you research markets, competitors, or launch timing.
Overview
com.thenextgennexus/news-mcp-server is a MCP server for the Idea phase that aggregates AP, BBC, NPR, Hacker News, and Google News with topic filtering and deduplication for agent-driven research.
What is this MCP server?
- Aggregates AP, BBC, NPR, Hacker News, and Google News in one MCP surface
- Topic filtering so agents fetch news aligned to your niche or hypothesis
- Deduplication across sources to cut repeat stories in agent context
- Remote streamable-http MCP—no local scraper to maintain
- Runs through Apify infrastructure with Bearer auth on the proxy endpoint
- 5 named news sources: AP, BBC, NPR, Hacker News, Google News
- Protocol: MCP remote streamable-http via Apify-hosted proxy
- Auth: required secret Authorization header (Apify API token)
What problem does it solve?
Manually checking multiple news sites burns time and floods your agent with duplicate stories when you only need a focused pulse on a market or competitor.
Who is it for?
Solo builders scoping a niche, tracking competitor mentions, or drafting positioning who want one MCP tool instead of bespoke RSS or scraping scripts.
Skip if: Teams that need paywalled financial terminals, guaranteed real-time alerting, or compliance-grade media archives without Apify dependency.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you connect the remote MCP endpoint with an Apify token, your agent can fetch filtered, deduplicated cross-source news briefs inside the same thread where you reason about what to build.
- Topic-filtered news results from five major cross-source feeds
- Deduped headline sets suitable for agent summaries and competitive scans
- Repeatable in-chat news pulls without custom scraping code
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
News aggregation is most valuable before you commit to build—when you need fast, multi-source signal on trends, competitors, and audience narratives. Research is where cross-source feeds replace manual tab-hopping; topic filtering and dedup turn noisy headlines into something an agent can summarize or compare.
How it compares
MCP news integration for agents, not a standalone SEO or social listening suite.
