# MCP Servers with a search_articles tool Every MCP server Pod knows of that exposes a search_articles tool. 8 servers, ordered by decision readiness and adoption — GitHub stars and npm downloads where available, then reported issue volume. Pod has connected to 7 of them; the rest are publisher-reported and unverified. ## [Newsflash](/mcp/newsflash) Newsflash is news and signal infrastructure built for AI agents. Instead of raw headlines, it serves a deduplicated event graph: coverage from 260+ global outlets is continuously crawled and collapsed so that one real-world happening becomes one event, with its corroborating sources attached and a confidence score derived from how many independent outlets confirm it. Your agent asks "what actually happened?" and gets a ranked, corroborated answer instead of forty near-duplicate articles. What you can do with it in Claude: - Monitor breaking news in real time, filtered by keyword, source, or category, with semantic search for concept-level queries ("monetary easing", not just exact strings). - Judge reliability at a glance: every event carries its corroboration count and confidence score. - Drill into any event to see every underlying article — outlet, URL, and timestamp. - Search the raw article layer when you need per-outlet coverage, and inspect the tracked source list and live corpus statistics. Newsflash works instantly with no account or API key (rate-limited trial tier, 24-hour lookback). A free API key raises limits and history to 30 days; the premium tier unlocks the full multi-year archive. All tools are strictly read-only. No cookies, no trackers. 1 GitHub stars · 5 tools reported — Live. Answered with 5 tools. ## [CMS Coverage](/mcp/cms-coverage) The CMS Coverage Connector gives Claude access to Medicare Part B coverage policies from the CMS Coverage Database, including National Coverage Determinations (NCDs) and Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs). This server may return data governed by third-party license agreements, including those available here: https://api.coverage.cms.gov/v1/metadata/license-agreement/. By connecting to this server, you understand and agree to abide by any applicable agreements. 8 tools reported — Live. Answered with 7 tools. ## [PubMed](/mcp/pubmed) Provides access to PubMed's biomedical citations and PubMed Central's full-text archive. Search articles, retrieve metadata and abstracts, access full-text content (when available in PMC), find related research, and more. 7 tools reported — Live. Answered with 7 tools. ## [PolyBlog Blog Builder](/mcp/polyblog-blog-builder) Connect PolyBlog to Claude to review your blogs and articles, audit translation coverage, preview content, and apply confirmed draft and publishing changes. OAuth scopes access to your own organization. Inline views show blog overviews and bounded article previews. The connector also exposes topic research and text-only drafting, which can incur usage charges. Image generation and image-generating autopilot are outside this connector. 18 tools reported — Live. Answered with 18 tools. ## [In Practise](/mcp/in-practise) In Practise runs primary research for fundamental investors. We interview the former operators and executives who ran the companies you're analysing, then turn those conversations into structured, cited research. This connector brings that library into Claude. You can: - Search thousands of expert interviews across public and private companies, sectors and business models - Read full interviews and analysis, with verbatim quotes you can attribute to each source - Look up companies and the moats behind them, assessed with the 7 Powers framework: scale economies, network effects, counter-positioning, switching costs, branding, cornered resource and process power - Track the companies you care about with a personal watchlist Ask Claude about a company, a competitor or an end market, and it pulls the relevant primary-source view from people who were actually in the room, rather than a summary scraped from the web. Access requires an In Practise library subscription. Learn more at inpractise.com. 6 tools reported — Live, but requires authorization before it will list tools. Publisher lists 6 tools. ## [Shorty](/mcp/shorty) Shorty turns long videos, audio files, documents and web pages into readable summaries and accurate transcripts. The Shorty connector lets Claude work with that library from your own account: search your summaries, open a specific article and read its highlights and body, list what you made recently, list and open your transcriptions, check how much of your plan's quota is left, and search Shorty's developer documentation. It can also start new work - summarize a YouTube link, a web page, pasted text or a file already uploaded to your Shorty account; transcribe a publicly accessible audio or video URL; and add subtitle tracks to a video you provide. These are long-running jobs, not instant answers. A write tool returns a job id, and Claude polls get_job_status until the job reaches SUCCESS, ERROR or CANCELLED before fetching the finished article or transcript; an in-flight PROCESSING status is normal. Over the connector Shorty returns job handles and text, never a media file, and subtitle files are downloaded from the Shorty app, not from the chat. Write tools are backed by an idempotency ledger, so a retried request will not create a duplicate job, and no tool here deletes or overwrites work you already have. Access runs through OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. You choose which scopes to grant on the consent screen - separate read scopes for articles, transcriptions, jobs, usage and docs, and separate write scopes for creating summaries and transcriptions - and any tool whose scope you did not grant is never offered to Claude at all. Consent is re-checked on every individual tool call, so revoking Shorty from Settings > Connected AI Apps stops the assistant on its very next call, not at token expiry. Summaries and transcriptions draw on your Shorty plan's monthly quota, and Claude can read the balance with get_usage_quota before starting a long job. Nothing is sold in chat, no images, video or audio are generated, and no ads are served. 12 tools reported — Live, but requires authorization before it will list tools. Publisher lists 12 tools. ## [Zsper](/mcp/zsper) Zsper is the AI writing partner with memory, made for founders and creators — it learns how you think and writes articles, newsletters, and LinkedIn posts that sound like you. 8 tools reported — Live, but requires authorization before it will list tools. Publisher lists 8 tools. ## [YouTrack](/mcp/youtrack) Connect Claude to YouTrack to find and summarize issues, create and update work, manage assignees, links, tags, and comments, log time, and search or update knowledge base articles. Requires automatic OAuth client registration in YouTrack. 23 tools reported — Publisher-reported; not verified by Pod. ## For agents This page has a [Markdown](/mcp/tool/search-articles.md) and a [JSON](/mcp/tool/search-articles.json) twin. Pod is also queryable over MCP at `https://api.askpod.ai/mcp/read`.
