# MCP News Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that extends LLM capabilities with real-time news data integration.

## Overview

This MCP server allows Large Language Models to access current news data through NewsAPI integration. It provides real-time context and information to enhance LLM responses with up-to-date news content.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js (v16 or higher)
- NewsAPI key (get one at [https://newsapi.org](https://newsapi.org))
- GitHub Personal Access Token (for GitHub integration)

## Installation

1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-news-server.git
cd mcp-news-server
```

2. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```

3. Create a `.env` file in the root directory with your API keys:
```
NEWS_API_KEY=your_news_api_key_here
GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_github_token_here
```

## Configuration

The MCP server configuration is managed through the `mcp.json` file. Here's how to configure different servers:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "news": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NEWS_API_KEY": "your_news_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
