Available tools 5

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

breaking
get_breaking_news
Latest headlines from the Corvus Intel news corpus that feeds Apprised.news: the same list as the site's breaking ticker and Breaking view (https://apprised.news/?view=breaking), newest first. The headlines are third-party reporting collected automatically (each has its outlet and original URL); Apprised.news did not write or verify them. With no arguments: the last 3 hours, 15 items. minutes widens or narrows the window; query keeps only items matching any comma-separated keyword (a * is a wildcard), searched over the whole window.
brief
get_brief
One Apprised.news desk brief (what /api/get-brief serves): the lead, the analyst personas' takes, synthesis, watch items and cited sources, trimmed to a bounded size, with the URL of the full brief. Desks: defense (Defense), culture (Culture), tech (Tech/Cyber), sports (Sports), energy (Energy), insurance (Insurance), health (Health), markets (Markets), intel (Intelligence), world (World), pressure (Politics). The analysts are fictional AI personas; this is AI-generated analysis, not news reporting and not investment advice.
briefs
list_briefs
Recent briefs from one Apprised.news desk, newest first (what /api/list-briefs serves): date, lead headline and the URL of each brief's page. Desks: defense (Defense), culture (Culture), tech (Tech/Cyber), sports (Sports), energy (Energy), insurance (Insurance), health (Health), markets (Markets), intel (Intelligence), world (World), pressure (Politics). Local Wire is a report, not a desk brief. AI-generated analysis, not news reporting.
daily
get_daily_report
The structured report Apprised.news publishes each day (what /api/get-report serves), trimmed to a bounded size with the URL of the full page. type "intel" (default): the cross-desk Daily Intelligence Report (executive summary, threat assessment, key developments, trending entities, sentiment, watch list). type "local": the Local Wire report on U.S. state and local press; each cross-validated story carries sources_listed and independent_origins, counting republished or syndicated copies of one article once and several articles from one website once, and a confidence capped to LOW when fewer than 2 independent origins remain. AI-generated analysis, not news reporting.
site
search_site
Find pages on apprised.news by keyword: desks and dated briefs, digests, analyst and lens dossiers, methodology and policy pages. Uses the same page index as the site's A2A site guide (its llms.txt and sitemap); returns up to 5 pages, best match first, or the main pages when nothing matches.

Apprised.news — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Apprised.news do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_breaking_news, get_brief, get_daily_report, list_briefs, search_site. 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 Apprised.news working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 82 of 82 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 669 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Apprised.news?
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 Apprised.news need an API key?
No. Apprised.news completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Apprised.news?
It answers our handshake in 669 ms on average, which is faster than 13% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
