Geopolitical event detection, tone timeseries, actor trends from GDELT 2.0.
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. GDELT Global Events MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Geopolitical event detection, tone timeseries, actor trends from GDELT 2.0.
Hosted MCP server over the GDELT 2.0 global-news event database. Search worldwide news by topic, build sentiment-tone timeseries (-10 to +10) for any query, identify trending actors (people, orgs, places) by country, and compare press treatment of two narratives. For news intelligence, geopolitical research, and crisis monitoring LLMs.
The server publishes 4 tools. What each one is for:
gdelt_search_events — query, country?, domain?, limit?gdelt_tone_timeseries — query, hours? or days?, interval?gdelt_trending_actors — country, hours?, limit?gdelt_compare — query_a, query_b — Team+Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. GDELT Global Events's toolset — gdelt_search_events, gdelt_tone_timeseries, gdelt_trending_actors and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by guptaprakhariitr; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
