Security Report

5.7
Moderate5.7Moderate Risk

This is a collection of SDK packages and integration wrappers for a hosted Webz.io News Search MCP server. The code demonstrates good security practices: authentication is handled via API tokens passed through Authorization headers (not in URLs), sensitive credentials are not hardcoded, and permissions are narrowly scoped to the MCP server's API calls. No malicious patterns, code execution vulnerabilities, or data exfiltration risks were detected. Minor code quality improvements could be made around error handling edge cases, but these do not represent security concerns. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 0 high severity).

Webz News Search integrations

Public SDKs for the hosted Webz.io News Search MCP server:

https://news-search-mcp.webz.io/mcp

The MCP server is the source of truth. These packages are thin clients. New filters and tools on the server show up at runtime through tools/list.

Direct API client

webzio-news-search is the exception to the MCP rule: it calls the News Search API (POST /api/news/context) directly with httpx, returns typed results, and ships a JSON tool schema plus run_tool() for any LLM with function calling. Use it when you do not want an MCP client or agent framework in the loop.

Official MCP Registry

The bundle in mcp-registry/ publishes the hosted server to registry.modelcontextprotocol.io as io.webz/news-search. Aggregators such as PulseMCP and Glama ingest the official registry, so this listing propagates downstream automatically. Publishing requires a one-time DNS TXT record on webz.io — see mcp-registry/PUBLISHING.md.

Groq

No package. Groq's Responses API speaks remote MCP itself, so you pass the hosted server in tools and Groq runs tools/list and tools/call server side.

Reference implementation, runnable examples, and the groq-api-cookbook contribution bundle are in packages/groq.

n8n

Two paths:

  • Community node (n8n-nodes-webz-news-search): standalone workflows, structured article output, and optional use as an AI Agent tool.
  • Built-in MCP Client Tool (n8n/): no install step; connect an AI Agent directly to the MCP server so filters still come from tools/list at runtime.

Setup steps and importable workflow templates are in n8n/.

Dify

Not a PyPI package. Dify Marketplace installs a .difypkg plugin from packages/dify. After the listing PR is merged, search for Webz News Search on marketplace.dify.ai. Dify v1.6+ can also add https://news-search-mcp.webz.io/mcp under Tools → MCP without a plugin.
