Connect NewsCatcher MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect NewsCatcher to Cline and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Cline executes live news tasks
Cline uses `get_latest_news` to fetch data and then writes the code to display it. It doesn't just show you a list; it builds the components you need. Give it a task like 'fetch tech news from the US' and watch it run the tool and create the file. It’s hands-off execution.
Deep clustering with Cline
Use `get_news_clusters` to feed raw data into your projects. Cline analyzes the clusters and writes documentation or summaries based on the findings. It’s perfect for keeping your READMEs or data dashboards updated. The agent handles the API calls so you don't have to write the boilerplate.
Managing sources via MCP Server
The MCP Server provides a clean list of outlets through `list_sources`. Cline uses this to ensure your news data comes from reliable origins. It keeps your search logic tight. You spend your time building features, not hunting for valid news feeds.
