Morning Tech News - MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that fetches the latest tech news and generates a concise morning briefing. Built with the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk.

Features

• Tool: get_morning_news — Scrapes the latest articles from tech sources (currently Anthropic) and returns a formatted list with titles, dates, URLs, and summaries.
• Prompt: morning_tech_brief — Pre-built prompt that calls the tool and formats the results into a structured morning briefing tailored for front-end / WordPress / Vue.js developers.
• Extensible architecture with typed NewsSource interface — easy to add new sources.

    "morning-tech-news": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-morning-tech-news"]
    }
