Crypto News Aggregator

What Crypto News Aggregator MCP server does

Crypto News Aggregator MCP server gives MCP-compatible clients access to the Free Crypto News API. The underlying service collects reporting from more than 300 RSS sources, including international outlets, and organizes coverage into 21 categories. Available data includes current headlines, breaking news, full-text search, category-filtered results, market information, DeFi coverage, whale activity, regulation, portfolio data, trading signals, and feeds.

The service also contains an archive of more than 662,000 articles dating back to September 2017. Archive searches can use dates, tickers, sentiment, and full text. AI-related API routes provide summaries, sentiment analysis, fact checks, narrative analysis, research mode, archive-based retrieval, and daily briefs.

How it works

The project exposes two MCP connection options. The hosted endpoint is available at https://cryptocurrency.cv/api/mcp and uses Streamable HTTP. A local server can be started with the npm package command shown in the setup section and communicates over stdio.

MCP tools call the hosted Free Crypto News service or the local implementation to retrieve structured results. The broader API has more than 450 routes, while the MCP interface provides more than 40 tools. API responses are JSON-based and article records can include a title, link, description, publication time, source, and relative time label.

The underlying API does not require an API key or signup. It is available for browser, script, and agent requests, with CORS support. Fair-use throttling may apply to abusive traffic, and clients are asked to identify themselves with a User-Agent and cache responses where appropriate.

Setup and configuration

For a hosted connection, configure an MCP client to use:

https://cryptocurrency.cv/api/mcp

For local stdio access, run:

npx -y @nirholas/free-crypto-news-mcp

No environment variables or API credentials are specified as required. The repository also documents direct HTTP access, including endpoints such as /api/news, /api/breaking, /api/search, and /api/ask, but those routes are separate from MCP client configuration.

Tools and capabilities

The Crypto News Aggregator MCP server is suited to agents that need to:

• Retrieve the latest crypto headlines or recent breaking news.
• Search current or archived reporting by phrase, ticker, date, sentiment, or full text.
• Filter results by category, source, page, or result limit.
• Work with Bitcoin, Ethereum, DeFi, Solana, altcoin, market, whale, and regulatory coverage where supported by the API.
• Request AI-generated summaries, sentiment analysis, fact checks, narrative analysis, research results, or daily briefs through the available API capabilities.
• Access information from international sources, including Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish outlets with translation support.

Limitations and notes

The repository identifies its license as source-available with all rights reserved; the hosted API is free to use. The material does not describe the exact schema or argument list for every MCP tool, so integrations requiring a fixed tool contract should consult the hosted OpenAPI document or project documentation.

Coverage depends on the source feeds and the service's collection process. News results are not a substitute for independently verifying reporting. The API advertises unlimited access with a fair-use qualification, so high-volume clients should cache results and avoid abusive request patterns.
