Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability83
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1061 tokens (~132/item across 8 items; 7 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass
How do I install the V³ News MCP server?
V³ News is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.v3.news/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 93 to 97. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 28 days of observed history at the previous scan, 29 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
fetch ~122
Fetch the full text of a single V³ event by id (from ``search``). Returns V³'s public report (headline, why-it-matters, the full long-form report when V³ has authored one, risk/impact/signal scores, coverage depth) plus the canonical v3.news url for citation. The country-by-country perspectives, timeline, decisions and assessed outcomes live at that url. Args: id: the V³ event id returned by ``search``.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
search ~122
Search V³ News for tracked geopolitical events matching a query. Returns a list of matching events, each with an id (for ``fetch``) and a v3.news citation url. V³ covers 12 categories (geopolitics, security, energy, finance, markets, macro, trade, technology, science, climate, business, public finance) with multi-perspective, cited analysis. Args: query: free-text topic, country, or question (e.g. "Iran sanctions").
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
v3_breaking_now ~85
Get events V³ is currently tracking in BREAKING tempo — fast- moving stories under near-real-time monitoring right now. Use when the user asks "what's breaking", "any breaking news", or about a developing situation. Returns an empty list when nothing is in breaking tempo (a quiet news moment), which is itself a signal.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
v3_get_event ~153
Get a single V³ event: headline, why-it-matters, scores, and how much structured analysis V³ holds on it (perspectives, decisions, outcomes). Use after v3_search_events (or v3_breaking_now) when the user wants detail on a specific event. This returns V³'s public summary; the full country-by-country perspectives, timeline, decisions to watch, and assessed outcomes are on v3.news at the returned url (a V³ account unlocks the multi-perspective analysis). Args: event_id: the V³ event id from a prior tool result.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| event_id | string | yes | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
v3_global_pulse ~147
Get V³'s Global Pulse — the world's current risk/impact/signal reading and how it has moved over a recent window. Use when the user asks how tense/volatile the world is right now, whether global risk is rising or falling, or wants a one-number situational read rather than a specific event. Scores are 0-100 aggregates across everything V³ tracks (risk = downside pressure, impact = consequence, signal = momentum, priority = attention weight). Args: window_days: trailing window for the trend, 2-90 (default 14).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| window_days | integer | – | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
v3_latest_brief ~73
Get V³'s latest global intelligence brief — the chief-of-staff top line on what matters in the world right now, with per-category state and counts. Use when the user asks for a world summary, "what's happening today", or a geopolitical situation overview.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
v3_search_events ~233
Search V³ News for tracked geopolitical events. Use when the user asks what is happening on a topic, in a country, or in a domain (e.g. security, energy, finance, technology). Returns a ranked list of events with why-it-matters, risk/impact/signal scores, and a v3.news link for each. Args: query: free-text topic (e.g. "Iran sanctions", "Taiwan"). Optional. country: ISO-3166 alpha-2 code to filter by (e.g. "US", "CN"). Optional. category: V³ category slug — one of geopolitics, security_risk, energy_resources, finance, markets, macroeconomics, public_finance, trade_supply, technology, science_biosecurity, environment_climate, business. Optional. limit: max results, 1-20 (default 10).
