What you can do with News API

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Article, 1 operation

get_everythingGet everythingGETSearches millions of articles from news sources worldwide.

Headline, 1 operation

get_top_headlinesGet top headlinesGETRetrieves current top headlines by country, category, or source.

Source, 1 operation

get_sourcesGet sourcesGETLists available news sources with their details and categories.

News API API rate limits

100 requests per day

Free tier limited to 100 requests/day; paid plans have higher limits

These are the limits News API documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the News API documentation for current values.

Use News API from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect News API in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its News API operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
