Google News headlines, sources, and links via the Apify Google News API, hosted MCP.
Google News headlines, sources, and links via the Apify Google News API, hosted MCP. The google mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 1 defined tool rather than through you.
The Google News API searches Google News and returns clean, structured JSON, one item per page of results. Each item carries the search parameters, search metadata (total results, pages processed), and a news_results array where every article includes title, link, source, snippet, and ranking position. Supports location targeting, country and language filtering, safe search, duplicate filtering, and pagination control.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Prerequisites — 1. Clone the repository bash git clone https://github.com/johnisanerd/Apify-Google-News-Scraper.git cd Apify-Google-News-ScraperBeing a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
You will need 2 environment variables: APIFY_API_TOKEN, YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
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. Google's toolset — Prerequisites — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by johnisanerd; 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We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
