About newsflash
newsflash is an MCP server published by newsflash.sh. Real-time corroborated news events + 5-year archive, for agents. Free tier, no key.

It asks for no keys or passwords.
Version 1.0.2 was published on 24 July 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.
Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on the registry entry and the live tool descriptions: 4 pass, 0 warn, 0 fail, 3 info. How we check.
