NewsMCP groups news articles into stories across newsrooms. Once you connect it with your own free key, your assistants can search those stories, see which outlets reported each one and where the sources are, and check how widely a claim was reported.

Which assistants use it#

What assistants can do#

NewsMCP connects through the tool's own hosted connector, and it is read only.

Check your key's limits and whether the service is up	Reads on its own

Setup#

Sign up at platform.newsmcp.com and create a free key.
Open Integrations in StellarFirm and pick NewsMCP.
Paste the key, switch on the live option, and press Connect.

Permissions#

Nothing here waits for an Approve because nothing here changes data.
Every NewsMCP plan, the free one included, allows commercial use. Your plan sets how many calls you can make in an hour and how far back stories go.
Revoke the key in NewsMCP whenever you want to cut access.

Good to know#

NewsMCP returns stories and the links to their sources. It never returns the text of an article, so an assistant opens a source page when it needs to read one.
Every story comes with the outlets that reported it and their links.
An assistant treats a claim as confirmed only when independent newsrooms reported it. Newsrooms that only repeat each other count as one.
Your key stays with your account. StellarFirm does not provide one for you.
