This package depends on the local newspaper4k checkout at the repository
root (via tool.uv.sources in pyproject.toml), so it always uses the
in-development version of the library.
cd newspaper_mcp
uv syncuv run newspaper-mcp # stdio transport (default)
uv run mcp dev src/newspaper_mcp/server.py # MCP InspectorTo add it to an MCP host (e.g. Claude Code, Claude Desktop), point the host
at uv run --directory /path/to/newspaper_mcp newspaper-mcp as a stdio
server.
search_news requires the optional gnews package, already pulled in via
the newspaper4k[gnews] extra declared in pyproject.toml.
NLP features (nlp(), keyword extraction, summarization) require nltk,
pulled in via the newspaper4k[nlp] extra. On first use, nltk may need
to download its punkt tokenizer data.
All tools perform live network requests to the target news sites; there is no caching between calls.
