LABSCO SUMMARY

One story arrives once with its sources, not eight times from eight outlets.

Clustering and deduplication happen before ranking, so the briefing is a list of events rather than a list of headlines. get_news_detail then expands any single event into its context and article list, which is where the original reporting lives. Filtering runs on slugs the server itself hands you, so the topic and region vocabularies do not have to be guessed.

What it is

A news feed organised around events rather than articles, with the sources behind each event kept attached.

What you get

The top events happening now, clustered and deduplicated across outlets and ranked by importance.
A time window you choose in hours, so overnight and last-week are the same query with a different number.
The full record behind one event, including its context and every source article.
Topic and region slugs listed by the server, ready to filter with, plus paging and a choice of ordering.

Requirements

Nothing — no account, no key.

Setup effort

One command — claude mcp add newsmcp -- npx -y @newsmcp/server

See installation options

USE CASES

01

Catching up on what broke overnight in a single pass

The hours parameter sets the window, and the result is a ranked set of events rather than a feed you scroll.

get_newsget_news_detail

02

Narrowing the feed to one region and one subject

Filtering runs on slugs, and the server publishes both vocabularies, so the filter values do not have to be guessed.

get_regionsget_topicsget_news

03

Getting from a summary to the original reporting

When a story matters, the summary is the start. The event record carries every source article that fed the cluster.

get_news_detail

4 tools

Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.

`get_news`

Get top news events happening in the world right now. Returns AI-clustered, deduplicated news stories ranked by importance. Present results as a multi-story news briefing — cover the top events, not just one. Each event should be 1-2 lines with its summary and 1-2 source links. Prioritize suppressing rich link cards/previews over pretty link labels. For Discord-style clients, output source URLs directly as '<https://...>' and do not use masked markdown links. Never emit raw standalone URLs outside no-preview wrappers. Only deep-dive into a specific event if the user asks for detail.
