Overtone News MCP Server
An MCP server that gives any agent real-time news plus the contextual intelligence to use it well — tone distribution, emerging stories, narrative shifts, spike alerts, and tone-over-time charts — powered by Overtone's publisher network.
Works with any MCP-compatible client: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, Kimi K2, and more.

Why this exists
News APIs return articles. That's the easy part. The hard part is everything an agent actually needs to reason about current events:
- What's the tone of coverage on a topic — is the public mood angry, hopeful, informational, fearful?
- What's emerging right now that had zero coverage yesterday?
- Where is the narrative turning — which topics are shifting tone fastest?
- Is there a spike in anger or fear around something I'm watching?
- How has tone trended over time on a given story?
