Code Editors Setup

Connect your editor to the hosted MCP Server and search news from inside your assistant. The server lives at https://mcp.apitube.io/, speaks HTTP JSON-RPC, and authenticates with an Authorization: Bearer header — no install or local process to maintain.

Install in one click

Paste your API key and press the button for your editor. Cursor and VS Code accept a full server config through a deeplink, so there is no JSON file to open and no path to look up. Claude Code takes the same config as a single terminal command.

Your API key

Paste your key to get a ready-to-click link. Without it the buttons install the literal YOUR_API_KEY, which you then have to replace by hand.

Add to CursorInstall in VS CodeInstall in VS Code Insiders

Each link carries the whole server entry, so the editor stores it for you: Cursor writes apitube-news into ~/.cursor/mcp.json, VS Code into your user mcp.json. Editors without a deeplink — Claude Desktop and Windsurf — are configured manually 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):

{
  "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

Once connected, ask your assistant a natural-language question:

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.
