How to Set Up and Use Kotlin News
Kotlin News MCP Server provides AI assistants with real-time access to news headlines and articles through the NewsAPI service. Built with Kotlin and exposing an SSE endpoint, it offers two tools — top headlines by category and full-text news search with date filtering — making it easy to pull current tech and Kotlin ecosystem news into your AI workflows.
Prerequisites
- Java 17+ or JDK installed
- IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio (the project is run from an IDE)
- A free NewsAPI key from newsapi.org
- MCP-compatible client that supports SSE transport (e.g., Cursor)
Register for a NewsAPI key
Go to newsapi.org and sign up for a free account. Copy your API key from the dashboard — it is required as the NEWS_API_KEY environment variable.
Clone the repository
Clone the kotlin-news-mcp-server repository and navigate into the project directory.
git clone https://github.com/nishantpardamwar/kotlin-news-mcp-server.git
cd kotlin-news-mcp-server/mcpserverSet the NEWS_API_KEY environment variable
In IntelliJ IDEA, open Run > Edit Configurations for the Application.kt run target and add NEWS_API_KEY as an environment variable with your NewsAPI key value.
Run the server from IntelliJ
Open Application.kt in IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio, click the Run button. The server starts on http://localhost:3001 and exposes an SSE endpoint at /sse.
Configure your MCP client
Add the SSE endpoint to your MCP client config so it can discover and call the news tools.
Kotlin News Examples
Client configuration
Cursor MCP configuration connecting to the locally running Kotlin News server via SSE.

"mcpServers": {
"kotlin-news": {
"url": "http://localhost:3001/sse"
}
}
}Prompts to try
Once connected, try these prompts to fetch news through the MCP tools.
- "Show me the top technology headlines right now"
- "Search for news about Kotlin Multiplatform from the past week"
- "Find the most popular articles about Android development published after 2024-01-01"
- "Get the latest science and health headlines"Troubleshooting Kotlin News
Server starts but news tools return 401 Unauthorized
Your NEWS_API_KEY is missing or incorrect. In IntelliJ, go to Run > Edit Configurations, find the Application.kt config, and verify the environment variable is set to your actual key from newsapi.org.
MCP client cannot connect to the SSE endpoint
Confirm the server is running by visiting http://localhost:3001 in a browser. If the port is taken, check for other processes using port 3001 with: lsof -i :3001. You may need to change the port in the application config.
get-top-headline returns empty results for a category
The free NewsAPI tier has coverage limitations by country. The category parameter must be one of: business, entertainment, general, health, science, sports, or technology — typos will return empty results.
