Fast News MCP

Real-time news search, trending headlines, topic categories, and local news — exposed as MCP tools so your AI agent can query news in plain language. No HTTP boilerplate required. The server is hosted by RapidAPI and connects via[`mcp-remote`. All you need is a RapidAPI subscription and your API key. See the Fast News API in action:**](https://github.com/geelen/mcp-remote)[the-dispatcher-demo.vercel.app** **Prerequisites:**](https://the-dispatcher-demo.vercel.app/)[Node.js(for`npx`) and a free](https://nodejs.org)[RapidAPI subscription. Add the following to your AI agent's MCP server configuration. Replace`YOUR-API-KEY`with your RapidAPI key. ``` `{ "mcpServers": { "fast-news": { "command": "npx", "args": ](https://rapidapi.com/SemicolonBandit/api/fast-news-with-previews)[ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.rapidapi.com", "--header", "x-api-host: fast-news-with-previews.p.rapidapi.com", "--header", "x-api-key: YOUR-API-KEY" ] } } }` ``` The`mcp-remote`package is installed automatically by`npx`. You don't need to install anything manually. See the[per-agent setup instructionsbelow for client-specific details. **Prefer the Quick Start above.**Use this only if your setup specifically benefits from a single published package. This repository is also published as the npm package](#setup-for-your-ai-agent)[`@wllrdev/fast-news-mcp`. It's a thin wrapper around`mcp-remote`that reads your key from the`RAPIDAPI_KEY`environment variable instead of the command line: ``` `{ "mcpServers": { "fast-news": { "command": "npx", "args": ](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wllrdev/fast-news-mcp)["-y", "@wllrdev/fast-news-mcp"], "env": { "RAPIDAPI_KEY": "YOUR-API-KEY" } } } }` ``` Once connected, your AI agent has access to these tools: For full parameter documentation, see the[API reference. Find your client below and expand it for setup steps. ``` `claude mcp add fast-news -- npx mcp-remote https://mcp.rapidapi.com --header "x-api-host: fast-news-with-previews.p.rapidapi.com" --header "x-api-key: YOUR-API-KEY"` ``` Add`--scope user`to make it available globally across all projects.
