MCP server · World News API

world-news-api

World News API publishes a first-party MCP server that exposes eight news tools over stdio. It is a locally installed npm package - there is no hosted remote MCP endpoint - so a human installs and runs it on a machine before any agent can reach the API through it. The server proxies the same REST operations documented in the provider's OpenAPI 3 document and authenticates with the same API key, supplied through the WORLD_NEWS_API_KEY environment variable rather than a per-request header.

About MCP

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol Anthropic introduced for connecting LLM-based agents to external tools and data sources. Providers publish MCP servers that expose their API surface as structured, discoverable tools — an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, etc.) can connect to the server and call its tools without any per-provider integration code.

Browse every MCP server on the APIs.io network or compare with the broader Agent Skill surfaces of the same providers.
