Connect NewsMCP and your agent gets 5 tools, among them check_coverage, check_health, check_limits. It answers at https://mcp.newsmcp.com/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 11 of 11 times since 3 September 2026; the last check, on 19 October 2026, succeeded.

Description as the publisher wrote it.

The 5 tools NewsMCP offers

ToolWhat it does
check_coverageJudge how widely and how independently a claim has been reported. Answers "is this real?" rather than returning a list. Reports the number of INDEPENDENT newsrooms — outlets that reported it themselves — separately from the number of domain
Inputs: claim, days_back, api_key, response_format
check_healthCheck whether the NewsMCP REST API is reachable and healthy. Does not require an API token. Use when diagnosing connectivity, not for searching news. For allowances and remaining budget use `check_limits` instead. Returns: str: Health statu
check_limitsReport what this caller may do right now — and never spend any of it to find out. Answers the questions the `news` tool descriptions cannot: how many searches are left this hour, how far back this plan reaches, the largest `limit` it allows
Inputs: api_key, response_format
get_storyExpand one story: full summary, classification, actors, and source links. Use this after any search, when the user wants more than the digest line for a particular story. It is the only tool that can return a story's complete source list.
Inputs: event_id, include_sources, api_key, response_format
newsSearch already-synthesized news events — pre-built story digests — or fetch one by id. Each story comes with a generated headline, one-liner, abstract, key actors, and industry/event-type labels. Use it for a quick digest of what happened,
