`news`

Pack: cryptocompare · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/news for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

CoinDesk Data (formerly CryptoCompare) aggregated crypto news feed: Bitcoin/Ethereum/altcoin headlines, exchange announcements, regulatory updates, market analysis. Filter by category (BTC, ETH, Trading, Regulation) or feed. Requires your own CoinDesk Data API key — for crypto news without one, use the crypto-feeds pack instead.
