What is the APITube MCP server?

The APITube MCP server is hosted at https://mcp.apitube.io/. It lets AI assistants search and retrieve news by calling tools through the Model Context Protocol. No local install required.

How do I connect Cursor, VS Code, or Windsurf?

Add an mcpServers entry pointing to https://mcp.apitube.io/ and include Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY as a header. Once saved, the client discovers the search_news and suggest tools and you can ask for news in plain language.

How do I connect Claude Desktop?

Run npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.apitube.io/ and pass Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY as a header. The APITube tools then appear inside Claude Desktop.

What tools does the server expose?

The server exposes search_news for querying articles and suggest for ID lookups, plus prompts: monitor_company, topic_sentiment, breaking_news, and compare_coverage.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The server is hosted at mcp.apitube.io, so most clients connect with just a URL and your API key. Only Claude Desktop uses the mcp-remote bridge. One API key works across REST, streaming, and MCP.

Can AI agents discover the API on their own?

Yes. APITube publishes Agent Skills under /.well-known/ following the agentskills.io standard, verifiable via SHA-256 digests, so agents can discover and call the API without manual setup.

What can I ask in plain language?

Examples: "Find positive breaking news about Tesla in English from the last week" or "Compare the volume and sentiment of coverage for Apple vs Google". The server maps your request to search_news and returns results.
