MCP Naver News is an MCP server that connects AI assistants to the Naver News API, enabling automated search and retrieval of South Korean news articles. Designed for researchers, journalists, analysts, and developers tracking Korean media, it bridges Model Context Protocol clients directly with Naver's search index. Users can query current events, domestic reporting, and historical news topics without leaving their AI chat interface. By integrating this server, language models gain the capability to fetch real-time headlines, article summaries, and relevant publication metadata directly from South Korea's primary news aggregation platform. This setup provides targeted local context, helping language models deliver informed analysis on Korean industry, politics, technology, and regional news developments. The tool requires standard Naver API developer credentials to authenticate and execute news search queries.

Part of MCP Servers
MCP Naver News is a Model Context Protocol server that interfaces with the Naver News API. It allows AI models running in compatible MCP clients to search and read Korean news articles directly from Naver.
The server requires Naver News API developer credentials. You must register as a developer with Naver to obtain the necessary Client ID and Client Secret before executing queries through the MCP server.
MCP Naver News works with any tool or client that supports the Model Context Protocol. Common supported clients include Claude Desktop, Cursor, and custom agent workflows built on the MCP specification.
The server allows your AI assistant to execute structured search queries against Naver's news database. It retrieves relevant news items, headlines, publication dates, and source links to inform downstream AI analysis and summaries.
