Setup complexity is MEDIUM. Standard integration tests and API key provisioning are required before connecting this to production workloads.
2
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

News MCP Server for VnExpress

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents (like Claude) to directly interact with VnExpress, Vietnam's most-read electronic newspaper. This server enables searching for news detailedly, reading latest updates via RSS, and parsing full article content in clean text format.

Features

Get Latest News: Fetch real-time headlines from specific categories (World, Business, Sports, etc.) using RSS feeds.
Search & Explore: deeply search for articles with advanced filters (keywords, time range, media type, categories).
Read Content: Extract clean, readable text from any VnExpress article URL, removing ads, scripts, and clutter for optimal AI processing.

Installation & Usage

You can use this server directly without installing it manually by using npx.

1. Prerequisites

Node.js installed on your machine.

2. Configuration for Claude Desktop

Add the following configuration to your Claude Desktop config file (usually located at %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "news-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "news-mcp-server-vnexpress",
        "--stdio"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop, and the tools will be available.

Available Tools

1. `news-latest`

Fetches the latest news headlines from RSS feeds.

Inputs:
- category (string, optional): The category to fetch. Default: tin-moi-nhat (Latest News).
  - Options: the-gioi, thoi-su, kinh-doanh, giai-tri, the-thao, phap-luat, gia-duc, suc-khoe, doi-song, du-lich, khoa-hoc-cong-nghe, xe, y-kien, tam-su, cuoi.
Output: Raw XML content from the RSS feed containing titles, links, pubDates, and summaries.

2. `news-explorer`

Search and filter for specific articles.

Inputs:
- search_q (string, required): Keywords to search for.
- cate_code (enum, optional): Filter by category code (e.g., the-gioi, kinhdoanh). Default: all.
- media_type (enum, optional): Filter by content type (text, image, video, infographic). Default: all.
- date_format (enum, optional): Time range (day, week, month, year). Default: all.
- page (number, optional): Page number for pagination.
Output: A YAML-formatted list of articles including title, link, description, and comment count.

3. `news_reader`

Reads the full content of a specific article.

Inputs:
- url (string, required): The full URL of the VnExpress article.
Output: Clean, plain text content of the article body. HTML tags, styles, and scripts are stripped out using Cheerio to ensure the AI receives only high-quality token-efficient text.

Technical Details

Framework: Built using the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk.
RSS Parsing: news-latest connects directly to VnExpress RSS endpoints (https://vnexpress.net/rss/*).
Web Scraping: news-explorer constructs search queries against timkiem.vnexpress.net and parses the HTML results using regex and DOM manipulation.
Content Extraction: news_reader fetches the article HTML and uses Cheerio to locate the <section class="page-detail">, stripping unnecessary DOM elements (script, style, iframe) to return pure content.
