NewsMCP — Story Detail

What does NewsMCP Story Detail do?

NewsMCP Story Detail expands one news story event into its full record: headline, abstract, key actors, event-type and industry classification, corroboration counts, and — uniquely — the complete list of source links (a large story can carry several hundred). It is the companion to NewsMCP News Search: search there, then pass a story's event_id here. Learn more at newsmcp.com.

How to use it

1. Run a news search and copy the event_id of a story (e.g. evt_...).
2. Enter it in the Event ID field.
3. Turn on Include every source link if you want the full source list rather than a sample.
4. Run. The story detail lands in the dataset as a single item, downloadable as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

If a story was folded into a more complete one as coverage developed, the run reports the replacement id — fetch that instead.
