NewsCatcher News API integration

NewsCatcher News API (v3) searches articles from more than 140,000 news sources: keyword search with boolean operators, latest headlines, breaking news events, articles by author or by link, per-day, per-hour or per-month article counts and the list of indexed sources, filtered by language, country, source, rank, date, theme, sentiment and named entities (IPTC and IAB tags on the IPTC Tags plan). Every search tool sends its parameters as a JSON body (the GET twins of each route are not exposed), the deprecated clustering_variable parameter is left out, and so is the custom_tags filter (its body key must name the customer's own taxonomy, which a fixed parameter cannot). Every call counts against the plan's monthly call quota; get_subscription reports the calls remaining and how many days of history the plan can search. Authentication is the API key of a News API plan, sent in the x-api-token header. CatchAll and the Local News API are separate subscriptions on their own hosts.

The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in NewsCatcher News API.Built from the 8 NewsCatcher News API tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with NewsCatcher 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.

Aggregation count, 1 operation

get_article_countsGet article countsPOSTCounts the articles matching a keyword search per day, hour or month (aggregation_by), with the filters of search_articles. Use it to chart how coverage of a topic evolves. Counts against the plan's monthly call quota.

Author, 1 operation

search_articles_by_authorSearch articles by authorPOSTReturns articles written by an author (exact name match), filtered by language, country, source, date range and NLP data. Counts against the plan's monthly call quota.

Breaking new, 1 operation

get_breaking_newsGet breaking newsPOSTReturns the breaking news events of the last 24 hours, each with its article count and top articles (top_n_articles per event), sorted by relevancy, date or source rank, with optional NLP filters. Counts against the plan's monthly call quota.

Latest headline, 1 operation

get_latest_headlinesGet latest headlinesPOSTReturns the latest headlines published within a time window (when: 7d by default, or 1h, 24h, 30d...), filtered by language, country, source and NLP data, optionally grouped into clusters. Counts against the plan's monthly call quota.

Search, 1 operation

Use NewsCatcher News API from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect NewsCatcher News API in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its NewsCatcher 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"
      }
    }
  }
}
