### Claude Code
```bash
claude mcp add opennews \
-e OPENNEWS_TOKEN=<your-token> \
-- uv --directory /path/to/opennews-mcp run opennews-mcp
```
> Replace `/path/to/opennews-mcp` with your local project path, and `<your-token>` with your API token.

## Let AI Review and Install
Not sure if this MCP is safe? Send the following prompt to your AI assistant to review the source code before installing:
> **Copy the prompt below and paste it to your AI assistant (replace `<project-path>` and `<your-token>` with actual values):**
```text
Please help me review and install the opennews-mcp MCP server. The project is at <project-path>.
Steps:
1. Review the security of the following files:
- src/opennews_mcp/api_client.py — Confirm it only connects to ai.6551.io, no data sent elsewhere
- src/opennews_mcp/config.py — Confirm token is only read from local config.json or env vars, not hardcoded or leaked
- src/opennews_mcp/tools/*.py — Confirm all tools only do API queries, no file writes, command execution, or dangerous operations
- pyproject.toml — Confirm dependencies are only mcp, httpx, websockets, no suspicious packages
2. Tell me your conclusion: Safe / Risky / Problematic, and the specific reasons
3. If safe, help me install (Token from https://6551.io/mcp):
claude mcp add opennews -e OPENNEWS_TOKEN=<your-token> -- uv --directory <project-path> run opennews-mcp
```

"sourceType": "market",
"soundId": "alert-1",
"bgColor": "#FF6B35",
"metrics": {
"funding_rate_high": {
"value": 0.15,
"unit": "%"
}
}
},
"aiRating": {
"score": 85
}
}
}
```
**Strategy Params Fields**:
- `id`: News/event ID
- `engineType`: Source engine type (`market`, `news`, `onchain`)
- `text`: Human-readable event description
- `coins`: Related coins
- `ts`: Event timestamp
- `strategy.id`: User strategy ID

- `relatedAddress` (optional): Related wallet address if applicable
**Note**: Strategy triggered events are pushed per-user via NATS. No explicit subscription is required — events are automatically delivered to the connected user who owns the strategy.
**Note**: Each coin in the `coins` array now includes individual AI ratings:
- `score`: 0-100 impact score for this specific coin
- `signal`: `long` / `short` / `neutral` for this coin
- `grade`: `A+` / `A` / `B+` / `B` / `C` for this coin
The top-level `aiRating.score` represents the highest score among all coins.
