## Tools
- get_events - Query the deduped news event graph by theme, source, category and time window. Returns events (many articles about one happening collapsed into one), each with a corroboration count and confidence score. This is the primary tool — prefer it over raw articles. The corpus spans 260+ global outlets and a five-year archive (history visible depends on tier). Endpoint: https://newsflash.sh/mcp
- get_event - Fetch a single event by id, including every corroborating article (source, url, timestamp). Endpoint: https://newsflash.sh/mcp
- search_articles - Search raw articles (not collapsed into events). Use when you want the underlying items or need per-outlet coverage rather than deduped happenings. Endpoint: https://newsflash.sh/mcp
- list_sources - List all news sources Newsflash tracks, with categories and live article counts. Endpoint: https://newsflash.sh/mcp
- corpus_stats - Corpus size and freshness: source / article / event counts and the latest article timestamp. Endpoint: https://newsflash.sh/mcp
