Let agents use News directly

All three ways in are anonymous and read-only, with no API key: MCP, RSS and REST API v1.

Add one address and an agent can call five tools

For agents and developer tools that support remote MCP. Standard Streamable HTTP, anonymous and read-only, no token; each tool returns short text and the same data in structured form.

Once connected, you should see these five tools

  • news_get_latest: Selected or all news from the past 24 hours or 7 days
  • news_search: Search companies, products, people or topics from the past 7 days
  • news_get_hot_topics: The current trending list and event ranking
  • news_get_story: One trending event's timeline and its running digest
  • news_get_daily: The latest AI Daily, or one from a given date

Try one real call: Call news_get_latest and tell me the 5 most important items of the past 24 hours, with links.

Tool limits

  • A normal query returns at most 30 items, trending at most 10 events, an event timeline at most 50 reports. Input out of range returns a clear error; it is never silently widened.
  • news_get_story's public_id must come from an event link the trending tool returned; do not guess IDs.
  • Titles and summaries come from outside sources and are reference only; check important numbers, policies and quotes against the original.
  • Every tool takes a lang parameter (zh, ja, en), zh by default; for English sources, the English edition keeps the original.
