Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Medical News Today endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 9 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented Medical News Today endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
9 request parameters are documented across those Medical News Today endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 Medical News Today endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Medical News Today endpoints document their error responses (400, 404 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
5 hosted MCP tools back the Medical News Today endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/medicalnewstoday/articleReturns public article metadata and body paragraphs. No login or paywall is bypassed. URLs under the robots-disallowed /articles/mnt-* path are rejected.
MCP tool medicalnewstoday_article
/medicalnewstoday/authorReturns a Medical News Today author profile by `slug` including its numeric id (for example `peter-brown-1595`) or by the profile `url`; provide one of the two. The response has the author's `name`, a `bio` when one is listed, and recent articles with title and URL, plus summary, date and image where present.
MCP tool medicalnewstoday_author
/medicalnewstoday/headlinesReturns the dated story cards from the Medical News Today Health News stream. `section` is required and currently accepts only `news`; `medicalnewstoday-sections` shows the accepted value. Each item has a title and URL, with a publication date such as `2026-09-26`, author, summary and image when the card shows them.
MCP tool medicalnewstoday_headlines
/medicalnewstoday/newsReturns the current article cards from Medical News Today's Health News listing, with no parameters. Each item has a title and URL, plus publication date, author, summary and image when the card shows them. It is the way to read the latest health stories without choosing a section.
MCP tool medicalnewstoday_news
/medicalnewstoday/sectionsReturns the exact public editorial news-section value accepted by medicalnewstoday-headlines. Health Topics and Health Hubs are educational resources, not newsroom sections.

How to scrape Medical News Today
Medical News Today is Medical News Today's newsroom coverage of health research and health news, distinct from its broader patient-information library. A live /medicalnewstoday/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 1 section record; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change.

Keep condition labels downstream because they are returned article metadata, not caller-supplied search filters.

No. The catalog exposes news, the single Health News section, section headlines, canonical article lookup, and contributor lookup by slug or profile URL. Topic or condition labels can organize returned stories downstream, but they are not caller-supplied search filters; this remains news collection rather than medical advice or a clinical evidence search.
