NewsAPI + ChatGPT

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

Prerequisiti

Le istruzioni di setup complete sono incluse nel connettore stesso (visibili nello store quando lo selezioni). Le variabili d'ambiente richieste sono:

NEWSAPI_API_KEY

Step 1 — Ottieni le credenziali

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)

Step 2 — Installa l'adapter

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

Step 3 — Aggiungi il connettore in ChatGPT

ChatGPT supporta server MCP tramite la funzione Connectors (piani Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise). Il piano gratuito non supporta connettori personalizzati.

  1. Apri ChatGPT → Impostazioni → Connectors (o clicca l'icona 🔧 nel composer → Manage connectors).
  2. Clicca "Add custom connector".
  3. Compila:
    • Name: NewsAPI
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → incolla la tua MCP API key (da AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Clicca Connect per autorizzare.
