News Feed is an MCP server that aggregates news feeds and articles from multiple sources for consumption by Model Context Protocol clients. Built on TypeScript and FastMCP, the server connects language models to RSS feeds and news publications, allowing AI agents to pull real-time headlines and full article text directly into their workspace. Software developers, researchers, and technical writers use News Feed to integrate live reporting, industry updates, and current affairs into automated workflows without manually searching online aggregators. By serving news content over standard MCP transports, the tool allows models to query curated feeds, extract specific articles, and reference recent events in conversations. It provides a structured data bridge between media distribution endpoints and AI coding environments or conversational interfaces.

Follow these steps to configure News Feed in your MCP environment: 1. For local development or debugging, test the server in your terminal using FastMCP: bash npx fastmcp dev src/index.ts 2. To install locally in Cursor, open Cursor Settings, navigate to MCP Tools, choose New MCP Server, and update your mcp.json configuration: json { "mcpServers": { "news": { "command": "npx", "args": ["tsx", "PATH/TO/PROJECT/src/index.ts"] } } } Replace PATH/TO/PROJECT with the local directory path where the repository is cloned. 3. Alternatively, connect via a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint deployed through Smithery by adding this snippet to mcp.json with your API key: json { "mcpServers": { "news": { "type": "streamableHttp", "url": "https://server.smithery.ai/@SpaceStation09/newsfeed-mcp/mcp?api_key=<YOUR_KEY>" } } }
Part of MCP Servers
You can run News Feed locally by pointing your MCP configuration file to the cloned repository using npx and tsx. Alternatively, you can use the hosted streamable HTTP endpoint provided by Smithery by adding your API key to your MCP client configuration.
News Feed aggregates live news from various RSS sources and supports retrieving article text. It acts as an MCP bridge, allowing AI models to fetch real-time updates and parse articles directly during ongoing conversations or development workflows.
News Feed works with clients supporting the Model Context Protocol, such as Cursor. It can also be tested and debugged in the terminal using FastMCP or mcp-cli.
The project is hosted publicly on GitHub at https://github.com/SpaceStation09/newsFeed-mcp, where users can inspect source code, report issues, and follow ongoing development.
