npx -y claude-news-mcp        # once published to npm, or:
git clone https://github.com/Popy21/claude-news-mcp && cd claude-news-mcp
npm install && node src/index.js

Claude Desktop / Claude Code (claude_desktop_config.json or .mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-news": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "claude-news-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
