NewsAPI + Claude

Search worldwide news headlines, sources and articles from newsapi.org via any AI agent. 3 tools, API-key auth.

Requisitos previos

Las instrucciones de configuración completas están incluidas en el conector (visibles en el store al seleccionarlo). Las variables de entorno requeridas:

NEWSAPI_API_KEY

Paso 1 — Obtener credenciales

This connector wraps the NewsAPI v2 REST API (newsapi.org).

Setup:

  1. Register at https://newsapi.org/register for a free Developer key.
  2. Set NEWSAPI_API_KEY.

Authentication: NewsAPI accepts the key as either the X-Api-Key header (used by this adapter) OR an apiKey query string. We use the header so it doesn't appear in URL logs.

Plan limits — IMPORTANT:

  • Developer (free): 100 requests / day, articles delayed by 24h, no commercial use, results capped at 100 per query.
  • Paid plans: live articles, no daily cap, full historical archive.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Paso 2 — Instalar el adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Paso 3 — Añadir el conector en Claude

Ruta recomendada — funciona en claude.ai web sin tocar ningún archivo de configuración.

  1. Abre claude.ai/customize/connectors.
  2. Pulsa "Add custom connector".
  3. Rellena:
    • Name: NewsAPI
    • URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → pega tu MCP API key (de AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Pulsa Connect para autorizar.
