+# News Aggregation MCP Server
+
+Get latest news from AP, BBC, NPR, Hacker News, and Google News — powered by [nexgendata](https://apify.com/nexgendata) on Apify.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Using npx (recommended)
+
+```bash
+npx @nexgendata/news-mcp-server
+```
+
+### Install globally
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @nexgendata/news-mcp-server
+```
+
+## Configure with Claude Desktop
+
+Add to your Claude Desktop config (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS):
+
+```json
+{
+      "mcpServers": {
+            "news-mcp-server": {
+                  "command": "npx",
+                  "args": [
+                        "-y",
+                        "@nexgendata/news-mcp-server"
+                  ],
+                  "env": {
+                        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token-optional"
+                  }
+            }
+      }
+}
+```
+
+## Configure with Cline
+
+Add the same configuration to your Cline MCP settings.
+
+## Available Tools
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `get_ap_news` | Get latest articles from Associated Press |
+| `get_bbc_news` | Get latest articles from BBC News |
+| `get_npr_news` | Get latest articles from NPR |
+| `get_hacker_news` | Get top stories from Hacker News |
+| `search_google_news` | Search Google News for a topic |
+
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Required | Description |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| `APIFY_TOKEN` | No | Your Apify API token for authenticated access. Without it, the server uses the public endpoint (rate-limited). |
+
+## How It Works
+
+This MCP server acts as a local stdio bridge to the [nexgendata Apify MCP endpoint](https://nexgendata--news-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp). When you call a tool, it forwards the request to Apify and returns the results.
