The Guardian
This MCP server provides comprehensive access to The Guardian newspaper's content through their Open Platform API, enabling AI assistants to search articles, retrieve full content, browse sections, and perform advanced analytical operations like author profiling and topic trend analysis. Built by Joshua Benton using TypeScript with the Model Context Protocol SDK and Zod for validation, it offers 17 specialized tools including Long Read discovery, related article finding through tag similarity, content timeline analysis, and intelligent story ranking by editorial prioritization. The implementation features flexible search capabilities with date ranges and section filtering, full article content retrieval with URL parsing, performance optimization through configurable detail levels, and robust error handling with rate limiting awareness, making it valuable for journalism research, content analysis workflows, news monitoring applications, and building AI assistants that need programmatic access to high-quality news content without manual Guardian website navigation.
Composite of vulnerability cleanliness, spec conformance, provenance, stability, and usage signals — scanned and weighted by Cognium. Human and agent signals are tracked separately.
