# Newsflash — AI Connector Newsflash publishes 5 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/data-analytics/newsflash/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Data & Analytics](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/data-analytics/) # Newsflash Deduplicated news events with corroboration counts from 260-plus outlets Listed in Claude · 5 published tools · Community-listed [Claude connector docs](https://newsflash.sh/docs) [newsflash.sh](https://newsflash.sh/) Overview ## What Newsflash does Newsflash crawls coverage from more than 260 outlets and collapses it, so that many articles about the same happening resolve to a single event carrying its sources and a confidence score set by the number of independent outlets behind it. That structure is the difference from a headline feed: a query returns one ranked event rather than a wall of near-identical stories. Filtering works by keyword, source, category and time window, with semantic search for concept-level queries. The raw article layer stays reachable when per-outlet coverage is what matters. A trial tier works with no account at a 24-hour lookback, a free key extends history to 30 days, and the premium tier opens the full archive. ### Who it is for Analysts, journalists and agent builders who need corroborated news signal. ### Tool surface Five tools answered without credentials: get\_events over the deduped graph, get\_event for one happening with every corroborating article, search\_articles for the raw layer beneath it, list\_sources for what is tracked, and corpus\_stats for size and freshness. Read paths only. Availability ## Where Newsflash is listed Newsflash is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Newsflash has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Newsflash publishes 5 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 22.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Data & Analytics publishes 12, so this one sits 7 tools below its bucket's median, 151st of 198. It falls in the 4-6 tools band, which holds 16.2% of the Claude directory. ### Measured against the live endpoint A direct call to the endpoint returned 5 tools, matching the 5 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07. #### Tools the server actually returns - `get_events` - `get_event` - `search_articles` - `list_sources` - `corpus_stats` Newsflash publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher Newsflash Verification Community-listed (61.5% of the Claude directory) Filed under Data & Analytics Endpoint `https://newsflash.sh/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://newsflash.sh/docs) Published tools 5 · 4-6 tools band Depth rank in Data & Analytics 151 of 198 Snapshot August 2026 Newsflash is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality. In the publisher's words ## How Newsflash describes it > Newsflash is news and signal infrastructure built for AI agents. Instead of raw headlines, it serves a deduplicated event graph: coverage from 260+ global outlets is continuously crawled and collapsed so that one real-world happening becomes one event, with its corroborating sources attached and a confidence score derived from how many independent outlets confirm it. Your agent asks "what actually happened?" and gets a ranked, corroborated answer instead of forty near-duplicate articles. What you can do with it in Claude: - Monitor breaking news in real time, filtered by keyword, source, or category, with semantic search for concept-level queries ("monetary easing", not just exact strings). - Judge reliability at a glance: every event carries its corroboration count and confidence score. - Drill into any event to see every underlying article — outlet, URL, and timestamp. - Search the raw article layer when you need per-outlet coverage, and inspect the tracked source list and live corpus statistics. Newsflash works instantly with no account or API key (rate-limited trial tier, 24-hour lookback). A free API key raises limits and history to 30 days; the premium tier unlocks the full multi-year archive. All tools are strictly read-only. No cookies, no trackers.
