Summary
Three news sources, one tool set, no signup.
The GDELT half is the unusual part. Alongside "what is on HackerNews" you can ask how much coverage a topic is getting this week and get a volume curve back, rather than another list of links.
What it is
An MCP server that puts three kinds of news source behind one tool set: RSS and Atom feeds, the HackerNews API, and GDELT's multilingual global news index covering 100+ countries.
What you get
- Any RSS or Atom feed fetched by URL
- News by category — tech, ai, general, business, crypto, science — across 16 built-in sources
- Feeds searched by keyword, and the built-in catalogue listed
- HackerNews top, new, best, Ask, Show and Jobs stories, and the comments on any one of them
- HackerNews stories filtered by keyword
- Worldwide news searched, filtered by country code, or plotted as coverage volume over time
Requirements
Pip install news-aggregator-mcp-server, or run it with uvx. No API key for any of the three sources.
Setup effort
One command — pip install news-aggregator-mcp-server
