Global News Search API & MCP Server for AI Agents

# News API for enterprise monitoring, research, and AI workflows

This News API gives teams a practical way to connect news headlines, briefs, full articles, enriched metadata, and translated outputs to business software, internal tools, dashboards, automation workflows, and AI applications.

It is designed for organizations that need a structured interface for working with news content across monitoring, reporting, research, internal search, current awareness, risk review, communications workflows, market intelligence, and product experiences.

Where this service is useful

This product is well suited for teams that need:

• a news API for internal platforms and enterprise applications
• a news search style feed for dashboards and reporting workflows
• a headlines API for alerts, current awareness, and monitoring views
• a briefs API for compact reading and fast triage
• a full text news API for research, analysis, and archive workflows
• a metadata-rich news API for downstream processing, classification, and internal enrichment
• translated news endpoints for multilingual workflows
• an MCP server for AI agents and chatbots that need news access as a tool

REST API utility for business integration

The REST API can be integrated with backend systems, scheduled jobs, ETL pipelines, CRM and account workflows, compliance review tools, newsroom systems, research portals, customer intelligence platforms, and internal dashboards.

Typical use cases include:

• building a live news monitoring dashboard
• enriching internal records with headlines, summaries, or full articles
• feeding briefs into analyst workflows and morning updates
• storing metadata-rich articles for internal review or classification
• connecting news endpoints to reporting, search, and internal automation systems
• supporting multilingual product features through translated outputs

MCP server utility for AI agents and chatbots

The MCP server exposes the same news capabilities to AI agents, copilots, chatbots, and LLM applications through the Model Context Protocol.

This is useful when you want AI systems to:

• search recent news as part of a research workflow
• retrieve headlines or briefs before drafting a summary
• review full text articles for internal briefings
• retrieve metadata-rich content for extraction and downstream workflows
• work with translated news in multilingual assistant environments
• combine news access with web, document, CRM, or market data tools in one assistant stack

Using MCP helps teams reuse the same news capability across multiple AI clients while keeping integration work simpler.

# REST API instructions

Use the REST API when you want to connect news content to enterprise applications, internal dashboards, research workflows, ETL jobs, monitoring systems, or reporting tools.

Authentication

Replace the placeholder values below with your actual base URL and bearer token.

```bash

export API_BASE="https://YOUR-HOST/api/news"

export API_TOKEN="YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN"

```

Send the bearer token with each request.

```bash

-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN"

```

Retrieve headlines

```bash

curl -s "$API_BASE/news-headlines?count=10&sort=latest"

-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN"

```

Use for monitoring dashboards, alert views, and current awareness workflows.

Retrieve briefs

```bash

curl -s "$API_BASE/news-briefs?count=10&sort=relevance"

-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN"

```

Use for analyst digests, briefing pages, and fast content review.

Retrieve full text articles

```bash

curl -s "$API_BASE/news-fulltext?count=5&lang_code=en"

-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN"

```

Use for detailed review, internal research, and article analysis workflows.

Retrieve full text with metadata

```bash

curl -s "$API_BASE/news-fulltext-metadata?count=5"

-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN"

```

Use for metadata-driven processing, internal enrichment, and structured downstream workflows.

Retrieve translated headlines

```bash

curl -s "$API_BASE/news-headlines-translated?target_lang_code=fr&count=10"

-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN"

```

Implementation notes

• connect the endpoints that match your internal workflow instead of always fetching full articles
• use headlines for lightweight monitoring and full text for deeper review
• use translated endpoints where your interface or users need localized output
• add caching, retry logic, and rate control according to your environment
• preserve identifiers and pagination cursors where needed for traceability and paging

# MCP server instructions

Use the MCP server when you want AI agents, chatbots, copilots, or LLM applications to access news endpoints as tools through the Model Context Protocol.

Typical MCP use cases

The news MCP server can be used for:

• searching current news in an assistant workflow
• retrieving headlines before generating a summary
• using briefs for fast briefing and digest generation
• loading full articles for internal review or analysis
• working with metadata-rich outputs in research assistants
• supporting multilingual assistant experiences with translated news tools

Generic MCP configuration

Replace the placeholder values with your actual endpoint and token.

```json

{

"mcpServers": {

"news": {

"url": "https://YOUR-HOST/mcp/news",

"headers": {

"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN"

}

}

}

}

```

Claude Desktop and compatible MCP clients

Add the news MCP server to the client configuration with the required URL and authorization header.

```json

{

"mcpServers": {

"news": {

"url": "https://YOUR-HOST/mcp/news",

"headers": {

"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN"

}

}

}

}

```

After saving the configuration, reconnect the client and verify that the news tools are available.

Cursor, Cline, Continue, and similar developer tools

Register the news MCP server in the tool MCP settings using the same endpoint and authorization pattern.

```json

{

"servers": {

"news": {

"url": "https://YOUR-HOST/mcp/news",

"headers": {

"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN"

}

}

}

}

```

Enterprise AI platforms

For internal assistants and multi-agent systems, expose the news MCP server behind your usual gateway or access control layer.

Recommended steps:

1. publish the MCP endpoint through your standard gateway
2. secure it with bearer tokens or service credentials
3. assign access by environment or workspace where needed
4. log tool usage for troubleshooting and governance
5. combine news MCP access with other tools such as web, documents, CRM, or market data

Example prompts

• "Retrieve recent headlines on this topic and prepare a short update."
• "Load briefs for this subject and summarize the main developments."
• "Fetch full articles for this topic and prepare a briefing note."
• "Use translated news tools to provide a French summary of these stories."
• "Retrieve metadata-rich articles for this theme and organize them for internal review."

Operational guidance

• keep credentials in your normal secret-management workflow
• rotate tokens on your standard schedule
• keep tool descriptions clear so assistants choose the right endpoint
• test one client first before broader rollout across multiple AI tools
