Claude MT Newswires connectorWhat Claude can do in your MT Newswires account.
The Claude MT Newswires connector exposes 7 tools. 6 read the newswire, 0 write anything, and 1 is described by no official source. Here is what Claude can pull from the feed, what it never touches, what MT Newswires logs, and who decides it stays on.

What changes once Claude can read the newswire
With the connector, you ask Claude what happened to a company or a market theme, and it goes to the MT Newswires feed itself, then answers with the articles in hand. The publisher pitches it as real-time, multi-asset financial news delivered inside the assistant you already use.
Catch up on one name before a meeting. You ask what the newswire has carried about a given company. Claude calls fetch_news_by_security and works from the stories tied to that company.
Follow a theme, not a ticker. You want the latest on the Federal Reserve or on crypto, two categories the publisher names. Claude can check the available categories with list_metacodes, then pulls the newest items in that category with search_news_by_metacode.
Answer an open question. When the question is fuzzy, such as how tariffs are hitting a sector, search_news looks for articles on the topic, fetch_news_batch opens several of them at once, and format_news lays the results out cleanly.
What Claude does not do here matters too. By default the sheet lists no tool that publishes, edits or deletes anything, and MT Newswires describes none. That is an observed floor, not a promise. One tool, onboarding, has no description anywhere. And nothing runs by itself: a breaking headline does not wake Claude up. Alerts that fire on their own belong to an automation tool, which does a different job; the Integrations hub covers that side.
Five words before you connect
The vocabulary around this connector, in one minute.
- Connector
- A link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work with it while it answers you.
- Tool
- One named thing a connector lets Claude do. Claude chooses the tools it needs by itself, and the directory sheet lists them by name.
- Authorization
- The sign-in step run by MT Newswires itself, where you grant the access Claude will use. Given once per person, and it can be withdrawn.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before a tool call goes ahead, shown in the conversation at the moment it matters.
- MCP
- The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as a newswire.

What Claude reads (6)
6 toolsSix tools that look up, open or lay out news and change nothing in your account.
fetch_news_by_security
Brings back the news MT Newswires carries about one specific company, so Claude can brief you on that name without you scrolling a general feed.
fetch_news_batch
Opens a handful of specific articles in a single pass instead of one after another, which suits a comparison or a digest.
search_news
Finds articles that match a topic or a question asked in plain words, which is the entry point when you do not know which company or category to look under.
search_news_by_metacode
Pulls the most recent news inside one MT Newswires category. The publisher gives crypto and the Federal Reserve as examples of such categories.
list_metacodes shows which ones exist.list_metacodes
Shows which news categories MT Newswires makes available, so Claude knows what it can filter on before asking for the latest items in one of them.
format_news
Presents the news Claude retrieved in a tidy, readable layout rather than as raw results.
Undocumented (1)
1 toolThe directory publishes this name and nothing more. No official text says what it does, so we do not guess.
onboarding
This name appears in the directory's tool list and nowhere else: neither MT Newswires nor Anthropic publishes a description of it. No source says what kind of tool it is, and the general approval rule below is the only thing that covers it for now.
What Claude checks with you first
By default, Claude stops and asks before an action it takes on an account for someone. MT Newswires describes the same choice from its side: approve each tool call as it comes, or set the connector to Always allow.
The publisher recommends Always allow so the connector is easier to use. That trades a prompt per call for speed, and it would also cover onboarding, which no source describes. The choice remains yours. On Team and Enterprise, owners decide whether members may let some actions through without being asked again, and they can restrict a connector for the whole organization. Nobody overrides that from a personal account. Claude works with the rights of the person who connected and nothing beyond.
Which plans include it
None of the 819 sheets in the official directory states plan availability. For MT Newswires, as for every other connector, that answer is published nowhere.
The published rule is general: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner opens a connector for the organization before members can each connect. Separately, MT Newswires asks for its own login. For the live state of this connector, look at its sheet in the official directory.
Where this connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you, so nothing fires when a headline breaks or a stock gaps.
This connector is documented by its publisher only: no Claude help article covers it, and everything above comes from the directory sheet and the MT Newswires page about its server. The sheet's tool list is an observed floor, not a promise, since an administrator can open actions no public sheet shows. The verification badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic states on every sheet that it neither picks a publisher's tools nor guarantees how they behave. More connectors read the same way are gathered in the Claude connectors hub.
