Setup

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 sync

Run

uv run newspaper-mcp          # stdio transport (default)
uv run mcp dev src/newspaper_mcp/server.py   # MCP Inspector

To 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.

Notes

  • 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.
