Overview

MT Newswires is a provider-hosted MCP server that gives AI agents access to MT Newswires' real-time global financial news feed. The service covers equities, fixed income, commodities, FX, and macroeconomic events, with original reporting across more than 45,000 securities and roughly 28,000 stories per month from MT Newswires' global newsroom. The MCP service is delivered via the viaNexus / BlueSkyAPI backend at https://vast-mcp.blueskyapi.com/mcp.

The server is designed to plug into Claude (and other MCP clients) as a custom connector. Once connected, an agent can search recent news, fetch full story content, and set up persistent "rules" that filter the stream for tickers, sectors, or topics of interest. This makes it suitable for live market monitoring, research workflows, and event-driven analysis where freshness and provenance matter.

Access requires an active MT Newswires subscription. There is no public GitHub repo to self-host; the server is operated by MT Newswires and partners, and integration is gated by credentials provided after contacting MT Newswires.
