Webz News Search integrations

Public SDKs for the hosted Webz.io News Search MCP server:

https://news-search-mcp.webz.io/mcp

The MCP server is the source of truth. These packages are thin clients. New filters and tools on the server show up at runtime through tools/list.

Gemini CLI

The webz-io extension connects Gemini CLI directly to seven hosted Webz.io MCP servers: News Search, News, Blogs, Forums, and the three segmentation servers. Tool schemas and OAuth settings are discovered from the live servers.

gemini extensions install https://github.com/Webhose/webz-news-search

Restart Gemini CLI and use /mcp auth <server-name> to connect the products your account can access. For example: /mcp auth webz-news-search. Setup, server list, and examples.

Direct API client

webzio-news-search calls the News Search API (POST /api/news/context) directly with httpx, returns typed results, and ships a JSON tool schema plus run_tool() for any LLM with function calling. Use it when you do not want an MCP client or agent framework in the loop.

The n8n community node n8n-nodes-webz-news-search calls the same endpoint. The built-in n8n MCP Client Tool still talks to the hosted MCP server.

Official MCP Registry

The bundle in mcp-registry/ publishes the hosted server to registry.modelcontextprotocol.io as io.webz/news-search. Aggregators such as PulseMCP and Glama ingest the official registry, so this listing propagates downstream automatically. Publishing requires a one-time DNS TXT record on webz.io — see mcp-registry/PUBLISHING.md.

Groq

No package. Groq's Responses API speaks remote MCP itself, so you pass the hosted server in tools and Groq runs tools/list and tools/call server side.

Reference implementation, runnable examples, and the groq-api-cookbook contribution bundle are in packages/groq.

n8n

Two paths:

  • Community node (n8n-nodes-webz-news-search): calls POST https://api.webz.io/api/news/context. Standalone workflows, structured article output, and optional use as an AI Agent tool.
  • Built-in MCP Client Tool (n8n/): no install step; connect an AI Agent directly to the MCP server so filters still come from tools/list at runtime.

Setup steps and importable workflow templates are in n8n/.

Apify

Not a PyPI package. The Actor is webzio/news-search. Users pay Apify. The Actor calls POST https://api.webz.io/api/news/context with one shared Webz token and writes one dataset row per article.

Docs draft: docs/apify_integration_doc.md

Dify

Not a PyPI package. Dify Marketplace installs a .difypkg plugin from packages/dify. After the listing PR is merged, search for Webz News Search on marketplace.dify.ai. Dify v1.6+ can also add https://news-search-mcp.webz.io/mcp under Tools → MCP without a plugin.
