Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Newswake every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 2

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

trending
find_trending
What news is ACCELERATING right now — a ranked list of story-events climbing in attention, optionally scoped to a beat/topic. Each returns trend, momentum, acceleration, outlet count, a runway hint (act now vs window closing), why-now, and a link. Use to decide what to ride/publish/watch. ~2h behind live, ~296 mainstream sources, signals + links only.
whats
whats_changed
The DELTA on an entity — what is new or has shifted in news coverage of a company/person/topic since a given time. Returns new vs updated story-events, trend, importance, and links. This is the stateful "what changed since my last check" that stateless search tools cannot answer. ~296 mainstream sources, signals + links only.

Newswake — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Newswake do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_trending, whats_changed. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Newswake working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 371 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Newswake?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Newswake need an API key?
No. Newswake completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Newswake?
It answers our handshake in 371 ms on average, which is faster than 36% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Newswake open source?
We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
