  https://github.com/EventRegistry/newsapi-mcp (first-party repo in the EventRegistry GitHub
  organization) and https://www.npmjs.com/package/newsapi-mcp. Tool list obtained by running
  `npx -y newsapi-mcp` locally on 2026-08-13 and issuing a real MCP `tools/list` over stdio.
name: NewsAPI.ai MCP Server
description: >
  Event Registry publishes a first-party Model Context Protocol server, newsapi-mcp, that
  wraps the Event Registry REST API for LLM clients. It is a LOCAL STDIO server: there is no
  hosted endpoint an agent can POST to. A human installs and runs it on a machine, supplying
  a NewsAPI.ai API key via the NEWSAPI_KEY environment variable, before any agent can use it.
deployment:
  mode: local-stdio
  endpoint: null
  install: npx -y newsapi-mcp
  package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/newsapi-mcp
  auth: api-key
  verified: probed
  note: >
    No hosted/remote MCP endpoint is published anywhere on eventregistry.org or newsapi.ai,
    and none is claimed in the repo README. Both hosts are SPAs that answer 200 HTML for any
    path, so no MCP URL could be inferred and none was invented. mode is local-stdio, not
    remote or both.
