_ is it live, free and safe measured by this hub
Is newsflash live?
Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 1h ago). It answered 100% of checks over the last 30 days.
Is newsflash free to use?
Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.
What tools does newsflash have?
5 tools: get_event, list_sources, corpus_stats, get_events, search_articles.
Is newsflash safe to connect?
The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

  • get_events reads open 10h ago

    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. For headlines, briefings, or 'what's happening' asks, pass min_sources: 2 (or 3 for high signal) — the raw recency feed is dominated by single-outlet local stories without it. ONE call is normally enough: trust each event's corroboration (distinct outlets), confidence (0-1; 1.0 = fully corroborated), and sources list as-is, and present the top events directly, including each event's url as its link — do NOT call get_event per item or re-verify counts (only drill in when the user wants EVERY outlet's link for one story). The corpus spans 260+ global outlets and a five-year archive (history visible depends on tier).

  • search_articles reads open 10h ago

    Search raw articles (not collapsed into events). Use when you want the underlying items or need per-outlet coverage rather than deduped happenings.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.

  1. Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
  2. Prove it is yours. Easiest: put brick-blue-key=<your key> in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain.
  3. Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id bad9853e547f92ee.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/bad9853e547f92ee/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.

_ how we know
card completeness
90%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
