Features

Tools

  • search_articles - Search NYTimes articles from the last 30 days based on a keyword
    • Takes keyword as a required parameter
    • Returns a list of articles with title, abstract, URL, published date, and author

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

Installation

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "nyt": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/your/build/index.js"], "env": { "NYTIMES_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here" } } } }

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root of your project and add your New York Times API key:

NYTIMES_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Running the Server

After building the project, you can run the server with:

node build/index.js

The server will start and listen for MCP requests over stdio.

GitHub Badge

Glama performs regular codebase and documentation scans to:

  • Confirm that the MCP server is working as expected.
  • Confirm that there are no obvious security issues with dependencies of the server.
  • Extract server characteristics such as tools, resources, prompts, and required parameters.

Our directory badge helps users to quickly asses that the MCP server is safe, server capabilities, and instructions for installing the server.
