Google News search capabilities with automatic topic categorization and multi-language support via SerpAPI integration.
If you want an AI assistant working directly with Google News, the google news mcp server is the bridge. Google News search capabilities with automatic topic categorization and multi-language support via SerpAPI integration.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides Google News search capabilities via SerpAPI integration. Automatically categorizes news results and supports multiple languages and regions.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 5 tools directly:
topic_token — Token for specific news topicspublication_token — Token for specific publishersstory_token — Token for full coverage of a storysection_token — Token for specific sectionsMulti-language — Combine appropriate gl and hl parametersThe server is distributed via npm as command., so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 2 environment variables: SERP_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Google News sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — topic_token, publication_token, story_token among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| topic_token | Token for specific news topics |
| publication_token | Token for specific publishers |
| story_token | Token for full coverage of a story |
| section_token | Token for specific sections |
| Multi-language | Combine appropriate gl and hl parameters |
