ai-daily-insights-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server for AI Daily Insights — a daily AI briefing built for both humans and agents.

It lets any MCP-capable assistant (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, …) list, read and search the daily AI news, fully structured — no HTML scraping.

Tools

| Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | get_latest() | The newest issue with all its news items in one call. | | list_latest(limit=5) | List recent issues: date, title, summary, tags, URLs. | | get_article(date) | Fetch one issue (YYYY-MM-DD), parsed into news items {index, title, signal, body}. | | get_range(from, to, limit=14) | Every issue in a date range (e.g. the past week), fetched in parallel. | | list_by_tag(tag, limit=10) | Issues carrying a given tag (company/topic), matched case-insensitively. | | search(query, tag, limit=10) | Full-text + tag search across all news items, in one server-side call. |

Data comes from the public JSON endpoints (/index.json, /{date}.json, /search) — the server is stateless and needs no API key. Responses are cached in-memory briefly (default 5 min, override with AI_DAILY_CACHE_TTL_MS) to avoid hammering the site on repeated calls.
