# Pollar News MCP

> Public, read-only Model Context Protocol server for Pollar's independent European news. Streamable HTTP endpoint: https://mcp.pollar.news/mcp. No login and no API key. Answers in English, Polish, German or French.

Every tool returns canonical pollar.news links to cite. Story text is written by AI from cited publisher sources; show the `provenance` label next to it. Pass `locale` (en, pl, de, fr) to set the language of the answer; it does not filter news by region.
