# HANKOOKILBO MCP — AI Connector HANKOOKILBO MCP publishes 10 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/entertainment/hankookilbo-mcp/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Entertainment & Media](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/entertainment/) # HANKOOKILBO MCP Hankook Ilbo headlines, section articles and search in Korean Listed in Claude · 10 published tools · Community-listed [Claude connector docs](https://github.com/hkilbo/hankookilbo-mcp) [hankookilbo.com](https://www.hankookilbo.com/) Overview ## What HANKOOKILBO MCP does Hankook Ilbo is a South Korean daily. The connector exposes its public metadata: headlines, section-level article recommendations, and a search that accepts a natural-language question rather than keywords. Results carry title, publication date, desk, byline, a link to the original, and part of the article text. Two tools sit outside the news set and return the paper's daily and MBTI horoscope metadata. The listing and its documentation are written in Korean, which is the language the content is served in. The connector is community-listed. ### Who it is for Korean-language readers and media monitors tracking Hankook Ilbo coverage. ### Tool surface Ten tools answered without credentials. Six return article lists under different cuts, from headlines and latest through recommended, timely and most-read, while search\_news takes a natural-language query, list\_sections enumerates the desk structure, and two horoscope tools return published metadata. Availability ## Where HANKOOKILBO MCP is listed HANKOOKILBO MCP is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Hankookilbo 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 HANKOOKILBO MCP publishes 10 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 45% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Entertainment & Media publishes 11, so this one sits one tool below its bucket's median, 8th of 13. It falls in the 7-10 tools band, which holds 14.6% of the Claude directory. ### Measured against the live endpoint A direct call to the endpoint returned 10 tools, matching the 10 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07. #### Tools the server actually returns - `list_recommended_articles` - `list_timely_news` - `list_popular_news` - `list_latest_news` - `list_most_read_news` - `get_daily_horoscope` - `get_mbti_horoscope` - `list_top_headlines` - `search_news` - `list_sections` HANKOOKILBO MCP 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 Hankookilbo Verification Community-listed (61.5% of the Claude directory) Filed under Media & Entertainment Endpoint `https://mcp.hankookilbo.com/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://github.com/hkilbo/hankookilbo-mcp) Published tools 10 · 7-10 tools band Depth rank in Entertainment & Media 8 of 13 Snapshot August 2026 HANKOOKILBO MCP 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.
