Einpresswire MCP Server

@pipeworx/einpresswire

Live press releases from EIN Presswire's public news sitemap — headline, publish time, keyword tags and geo location, newest first.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1683+ live data sources.

Tools

• einpresswire_latest_releases(since_hours?, limit?) — the current rolling window of releases, newest first. newest_item_at tells a caller whether the wire is quiet or stalled.
• einpresswire_search_releases(query, limit?) — keyword/company/place match over headline, keyword tags and geo location, within the current window only (there is no body excerpt in this source).
• einpresswire_get_release(url) — one specific release, matched by the URL a prior call returned. Fails clearly (not silently empty) if the release is older than roughly 48 hours.

Auth

Keyless. No account, no clickthrough terms.

Data sources

• https://www.einpresswire.com/sitemap-news — a Google-News-format XML sitemap EIN Presswire itself lists as a Sitemap: entry in its robots.txt (published for crawling, no account, no key). Verified live 2026-09-21: HTTP 200, ~780 KB, 705 releases spanning roughly the trailing 48 hours.

Why this pack does NOT read RSS, unlike its two sibling wire packs: EIN Presswire's RSS is gated behind a free account. /all-rss is an HTML directory page, and every category link it lists (/subscribe-rss/<category>) 302-redirects to /login. "Requires an account" is explicitly out of scope under the standing no-login sourcing rule (logging in to scrape public data is not the same as scraping already- public data). The sitemap is the genuinely public, keyless alternative for this publisher — denser and fresher than the gated RSS would have been.

Because this is a sitemap and not RSS/Atom, the shared parseFeed parser (@pipeworx/shared, built for <item>/<entry> blocks) does not apply here — this pack has its own small <url>-block extraction. It does reuse canonicalUrl from @pipeworx/shared for URL dedupe, the same helper the RSS-based sibling packs use.

No structured issuer field is exposed by this source — the issuer is usually the subject of the headline. No body excerpt either; only headline, keyword tags, geo location and publish time.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "einpresswire": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/einpresswire/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/einpresswire/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1683+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/einpresswire_latest_releases \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/einpresswire_latest_releases. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "einpresswire": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-einpresswire"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-einpresswire

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Einpresswire data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
