Code Editors Setup ​

Connect your editor to the MCP Server to search news in your AI assistant. Use https://mcp.apitube.io/ with an Authorization: Bearer header. The server supports HTTP JSON-RPC.

Install in one click ​

Paste your API key and choose your editor. For Cursor and VS Code, the button opens a link that adds the server configuration. For Claude Code, copy and run the terminal command.

Paste your key before choosing an editor. Otherwise, replace YOUR_API_KEY in the editor after setup.

Add to CursorInstall in VS CodeInstall in VS Code Insiders

Cursor saves apitube-news in ~/.cursor/mcp.json. VS Code saves it in your user mcp.json. For Claude Desktop and Windsurf, use the manual setup instructions below.

Before you start ​

  1. Get an API key at apitube.io.
  2. Replace YOUR_API_KEY in every config below with your key.
  3. Restart the editor after saving the config.
TIP

The configs below use the hosted server directly. For clients that can only launch local (stdio) servers — like Claude Desktop — bridge the remote server with mcp-remote, as shown in that tab.

Configuration by editor ​

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per project):

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apitube-news": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apitube.io/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Open Settings → MCP to confirm apitube-news is connected.

Verify it works ​

After connecting, ask your assistant for news:

text
Find positive breaking news about Tesla in English from the last week

The assistant calls the search_news tool and returns matching articles. For the full filter set and troubleshooting, see the MCP Server reference.
