NYTimes Article Search MCP Server is a small TypeScript Model Context Protocol server that puts New York Times article search behind one tool. That tool, search_articles, takes a required keyword parameter and returns articles from the last thirty days, each with its title, abstract, URL, publication date and author. The README presents the project as a demonstration of core MCP concepts as much as a utility: it shows how to expose a third-party HTTP API as a tool and how to wire the result into a client. Access to the New York Times API requires a key, supplied as the NYTIMES_API_KEY environment variable, either in a .env file at the project root for local runs or in the env block of the client configuration. Installation is either automatic through Smithery, which writes the Claude Desktop entry with a single npx command, or manual by adding a server entry that runs node against the built index.js, with the paths for the macOS and Windows configuration files documented. Development follows the usual Node cycle: npm install for dependencies, npm run build to compile and npm run watch to rebuild on change. Because MCP servers speak over stdio, which makes ordinary debugging awkward, the README recommends the MCP Inspector and exposes it as npm run inspector, which prints a browser URL for the debugging tools. After building, the server can also be started directly with node against the build output, at which point it waits for MCP requests on standard input. The project is MIT licensed. It suits anyone who wants an assistant to pull recent news coverage on a topic into a conversation, and it doubles as a compact reference for building a single-tool MCP server around a REST API.
