news-mcp-server
Verified Safeby baiyaoyu
Overview
An MCP server designed to scrape news headlines from Chinese (ThePaper) and Singaporean (Zaobao) news outlets, exposing them via an API.
Installation
uvx --from ./ news-mcp-serverSecurity Notes
The code uses httpx for network requests with timeouts and error handling. BeautifulSoup is used for parsing, and no eval() or direct arbitrary code execution vectors were found. The use of json.loads(body) is on a controlled, integer-derived string, mitigating risk. No hardcoded secrets. General web scraping risks (IP blocking, HTML changes) apply but are not direct security flaws in the code itself.
