Security Report

4.8
Use Caution4.8High Risk

newswake is a well-structured MCP server for news monitoring with appropriate authentication and authorization. The codebase demonstrates good security hygiene: credentials are properly externalized via environment variables, input validation is present, and the server enforces rate limiting. Permissions align well with its purpose (read-only access to news data, limited HTTP and Firebase access). Minor observations include broad exception handling and basic IP hashing for metering, but these do not constitute security vulnerabilities. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity).

newswake

News momentum & "what changed" — outcome tools for AI agents. An MCP server that returns decided answers about how news is moving, not a pile of articles.

Live: https://newswake-ajq8t.ondigitalocean.app · MCP endpoint: https://newswake-ajq8t.ondigitalocean.app/mcp (streamable-http, no key in beta, 15 calls/day free).

Why

Search APIs (Exa, Tavily, Brave, Perplexity) are stateless — every call re-searches from zero and remembers nothing about what a topic looked like last week. So an agent doing a recurring check on a company has no clean way to answer "what's new since last time," and the LLM can't reliably fake it. newswake tracks persistent story-events hour by hour, so "momentum" and "what changed" are real time-series.

Tools

  • find_trending(topic?, limit?) — story-events accelerating in attention right now: trend, momentum, a runway hint (ride now vs window closing), why-now, and a link. Scope to any beat.
  • whats_changed(entity, since?) — the delta on a company/person/topic: new vs updated story-events since a timestamp, with links. The stateful answer a search API can't give.

Both return structured JSON with confidence + links to original reporting — never article text.
