trthaber-mcp 🇹🇷

mcp-name: io.github.mohammad-abbasi-sh/trthaber-mcp

Unofficial read-only MCP server for trthaber.com (TRT Haber), the Turkish public broadcaster's news site — headlines by category, breaking news (son dakika), full article text, keyword search over the current listings, and the category list.

Built by Mohammad Abbasi as part of the "Turkey MCP factory" (Sepehr-style pipeline). Not affiliated with trthaber.com or TRT.

For AI agents

Add to your MCP client config (stdio):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trthaber": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["trthaber-mcp==0.1.1"]
    }
  }
}

Or run locally: python -m trthaber_mcp.server (needs mcp<2, curl-cffi).

Example output (trthaber_get_article / Güney Torid meteor-shower story, 5 Nov 2026):

{"title": "Güney Torid göktaşı yağmuru bu gece nadir görülen ateş topları oluşturacak",

How it works

trthaber.com serves its homepage, category pages (/haber/<category>/), article pages (/haber/<category>/<slug>-<id>.html) and the breaking-news page (/son-dakika-haberleri, ~120 articles, newest first) fully server-rendered — no login, no API key, no session cookies. Category pages carry 15 headline links each in the fixtures. Article pages carry the title in <h1>, the spot in <h2 class="news-spot">, publish/modify dates in an inline JSON blob, description and image in meta tags, and the full body as consecutive <p> elements inside news-detail-container (the run ends at the news-tags block). There is no author byline anywhere on the site, and no NewsArticle JSON-LD (only an Organization block). One site feature does NOT work server-side and is documented, not faked: the site's own search (/arama.html) is JS + CSRF-token POST gated (POST /ajax/getCsrfToken/search/), and a tokenless GET returns a 200 page with an empty results container — so trthaber_search_news scans the current listings instead. Transport uses Chrome TLS impersonation (curl-cffi, chrome120); requests are spaced ~0.8s apart; everything is read-only.

Install

uvx trthaber-mcp==0.1.1        # run directly (needs uv)
# or
pip install trthaber-mcp==0.1.1
trthaber-mcp    # starts the MCP server on stdio

Tests

python -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -e .
.venv/bin/python -m unittest discover -s tests -v

Offline tests run on recorded fixtures (real pages fetched 2026-11-08); live tests hit trthaber.com. 26/26 green at build time (14 offline + 12 live) plus an MCP stdio smoke test.

Roadmap

• "Çok okunanlar" (most read) if the site ever exposes it server-side

• Video/social-video listings (/sosyal-videolar/)

• Live TV schedule (/canli-yayin-izle.html is a stream page, not data)
