OpenClaw Skill

clawhub install newsmcp-skill

Lightweight alternative — a single SKILL.md that teaches the agent to call the REST API via curl. No dependencies. See newsmcp-skill on ClawHub.

MCP Tools

Four tools. That's the interface.

`get_news`

Top events happening right now. Filter by topic, region, time window.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`topics`	string	—	Comma-separated topic slugs: `politics,technology`
`geo`	string	—	Comma-separated region slugs: `europe,lithuania`
`hours`	number	24	Time window in hours (1–168)
`page`	number	1	Page number
`per_page`	number	20	Results per page (max 50)
`order_by`	string	`-sources_count`	Sort field (see below)

Sort options: -sources_count, -impact_score, -last_seen_at, -entries_count (prefix - for descending)

`get_news_detail`

Full details on a single event — all source articles, AI-generated context, impact analysis, entity tags.

Parameter	Type	Description
`event_id`	string	Event UUID from `get_news` results

`get_topics`

Lists every topic category available for filtering. No parameters.

crime culture economy education environment health military politics science society sports technology

`get_regions`

Lists every geographic region — 6 continents and 24 countries — available for filtering. No parameters.

How agents use it

Prompt	What happens
"What's happening in the world?"	`get_news` with defaults — top 20 events by source coverage
"Any tech news from Europe today?"	`get_news` with `topics=technology`, `geo=europe`, `hours=24`
"Tell me more about that earthquake"	`get_news_detail` with the event UUID
"What topics can I filter by?"	`get_topics` — returns the full list
"Show me news from Asia this week"	`get_news` with `geo=asia`, `hours=168`

REST API

Don't need MCP? Hit the endpoints directly. Same data, same filters.

Base URL: https://newsmcp.io/v1

Method	Endpoint	Description
`GET`	`/news/`	List news events with optional filtering
`GET`	`/news/{id}/`	Single event with full article list
`GET`	`/news/topics/`	All topic categories
`GET`	`/news/regions/`	All geographic regions

Query parameters

All parameters are optional. Combine freely.

# Latest events
curl -s https://newsmcp.io/v1/news/ | jq

# Filter by topic
curl -s "https://newsmcp.io/v1/news/?topics=technology" | jq

# Filter by region
curl -s "https://newsmcp.io/v1/news/?geo=europe" | jq

How it works

Collect — Hundreds of news sources are scraped continuously
Cluster — Articles about the same event are grouped using vector embeddings
Classify — Each event is tagged with topics and geographic entities
Rank — Events are scored by source count, impact, and recency
Serve — Clean JSON via REST API and MCP server

Events update in real-time as new articles appear. The clustering AI merges duplicate coverage automatically.

Configuration

Point to a different API backend:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "newsmcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@newsmcp/server"],
      "env": {
        "NEWS_API_BASE_URL": "https://your-api.example.com/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

Releases (GitHub Actions + OIDC)

Publishing is tag-driven via .github/workflows/release.yml:

Trigger: push tag v*.*.*
Publishes @newsmcp/server and @newsmcp/openclaw to npm via Trusted Publishing (OIDC)
Publishes MCP metadata with mcp-publisher login github-oidc
Creates a GitHub release with generated notes

One-time setup

npm package settings: For @newsmcp/server and @newsmcp/openclaw, add a Trusted Publisher pointing to:
- Owner: pranciskus
- Repository: newsmcp
- Workflow file: .github/workflows/release.yml
- Environment: leave empty (unless you intentionally use one)
MCP Registry: Ensure the repo/package is authorized for GitHub OIDC publishing in MCP Registry.

Release flow

Bump versions in:
- packages/mcp-server/package.json
- packages/openclaw-plugin/package.json
- packages/mcp-server/server.json
- package-lock.json
Commit and push to main
Create and push tag:

git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "vX.Y.Z"
git push origin vX.Y.Z

The workflow does the publish and GitHub release automatically.
