Available tools 6

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

article
get_article
Fetch one BedrockNews story by id. Returns the transformed article plus its full structured analysis (GRIN scores, extraction graph, key stats, trajectory, what-to-watch). Pass fields:'grin' to get just the analysis payload without the heavy body text. Story ids contain slashes (e.g. 'ledger/2026/apr/06/iran-war-math-doesnt-work') — pass them verbatim.
categories
list_categories
The BedrockNews category taxonomy: ids (valid values for list_stories' category filter), display names, and which editorial framework each category runs (grin | culture | auto).
extraction
get_extraction_graph
Return a story's extraction map as a real graph — nodes + edges data, not a picture. This is the load-bearing artifact for agents: re-render it in any style, or analyze who extracts value from whom. 'Not found' can mean the story has no graph (culture/research modes, or older transforms).
related
get_related
Related BedrockNews stories for a given article — same section, ranked by editorial-mode match, plumb, source affinity, and recency.
site
get_site_info
BedrockNews metadata: what the site is, how the GRIN/CLAIMS/NOVEL frameworks work, terms of use + attribution, and every machine-readable surface. Also returns the full capability map (every tool, prompt, and resource) — call this first.
stories
list_stories
Discover BedrockNews stories with GRIN-aware filters. Filter by verdict ('extractive' | 'mixed' | 'generative'), plumb range (0-100 analytical-clarity score), editorialMode ('grin' news/politics | 'culture' | 'research' | 'ledger'), category (see list_categories), date window (since/before, ISO 8601), or a title search (substring match on titles, not full text). Sorted newest first; paginated via cursor. Returns compact story briefs — use get_article for full analysis.

BedrockNews — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can BedrockNews do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_article, get_extraction_graph, get_related, get_site_info, list_categories, list_stories. 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 BedrockNews 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 466 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect BedrockNews?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does BedrockNews need an API key?
No. BedrockNews completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is BedrockNews?
It answers our handshake in 466 ms on average, which is faster than 25% 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.
