AllNewsAPI

AllNewsAPI is a remote MCP server: there is nothing to install. Its endpoint is https://mcp.allnewsapi.com/mcp, served over Streamable HTTP. In an assistant that accepts remote MCP servers (often under a setting named connectors, integrations or tools), add a new server and give it this URL; in a client configured by file, add it as a remote (HTTP) server with the same URL.

The registry entry declares an HTTP header for the connection: X-API-Key (required, secret). A secret header usually carries an API key or token issued by the service; clients that accept custom headers set it with the server's URL.

It can also run locally from a Node.js package published to the npm registry: allnewsapi-mcp version 1.1.9. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs Node.js; clients usually start it with npx — the usual command is npx -y allnewsapi-mcp@1.1.9. It reads the environment variable ALLNEWSAPI_KEY (secret); set it in the client's configuration for this server. Required arguments: --apikey.

In the mcpServers JSON format that many desktop and editor MCP clients read, the entry looks like this (placeholders in angle brackets):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "allnewsapi-mcp@1.1.9"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ALLNEWSAPI_KEY": "<secret>"
      }
    }
  }
}
