An MCP server that delivers real-time cryptocurrency news from NewsData.io and exposes tools for latest headlines, keyword search and summarisation prompts.
https://github.com/kukapay/crypto-news-mcpStop building yet another news scraper. If you're developing AI agents that need current cryptocurrency market information, this MCP server delivers real-time news from NewsData.io with zero fuss.
Your AI agents are making decisions with stale information. Whether you're building trading analysis tools, market research assistants, or content generation systems, outdated news means missed opportunities and poor recommendations.
Building your own news pipeline means dealing with rate limits, parsing inconsistent formats, handling failures, and maintaining API integrations. That's weeks of development time that could be spent on your actual product.
Three focused tools that handle the heavy lifting:
get_latest_news() - Grab the freshest crypto headlines instantly. No parameters needed - just current market-moving stories with timestamps.
get_crypto_news(query, max_pages) - Search for specific coins, events, or topics with built-in pagination. Looking for "ethereum staking" news from the last few days? Done. Need 50 articles about "bitcoin ETF" developments? The pagination handles it automatically.
summarize_news prompt - Generates ready-to-use prompts that your AI can process immediately. Instead of raw news data, you get structured requests that produce coherent market analysis.
Trading Bot Intelligence: Your bot needs to know if there's breaking news about a position. Call get_crypto_news("bitcoin", max_pages=2) and get formatted articles with dates, sources, and descriptions - perfect for sentiment analysis or risk assessment.
Research Dashboard: Building a crypto research tool? The search functionality with pagination means you can pull comprehensive coverage on any topic without hitting API limits or dealing with incomplete data sets.
Content Generation: Need to write market updates? The summarization prompt takes any search query and generates an AI-ready request: "Please summarize the latest news about ethereum based on the following data..." with all the articles pre-loaded.
NewsData.io provides reliable, professional-grade news data. You get structured JSON responses with titles, URLs, publication dates, and source attribution - everything needed for serious applications.
The MCP protocol means this plugs directly into Claude Desktop, but you can also run it standalone and integrate with any AI system that speaks HTTP.
Setup is straightforward: clone the repo, install three dependencies, add your NewsData.io API key, and you're pulling live crypto news in minutes. No complex authentication flows or webhook configurations.
NewsData.io handles the hard parts: global news source coverage, deduplication, spam filtering, and consistent formatting. This MCP server gives you that professional news infrastructure without the monthly enterprise fees or complex integrations.
The pagination support means you can pull comprehensive coverage without managing multiple API calls or handling rate limits manually. The structured output is designed for AI consumption - no parsing HTML or dealing with inconsistent data formats.
Ready to give your AI agents the market intelligence they need? The server includes Smithery integration for one-command installation with Claude Desktop, or you can run it standalone for custom integrations.
Your AI agents deserve better than yesterday's news.
