How to control search_news

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway β€” it sits between your AI agents and Naver Search MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_news:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_news": {}
  }
}

search_news is read-only, so it stays allowed β€” but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Naver Search MCP Server β€” nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy β€” paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
