Query Google News RSS feeds and search interest over time via Google Trends.
Query Google News RSS feeds and search interest over time via Google Trends. That is what the google news & trends mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
A powerful, robust Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI models to Google News RSS feeds and Google Trends. Easily pull historical weekly interest curves, calculate keyword growth rates, fetch trending queries, and analyze/summarize related articles using LLMs and NLP.
The server publishes 9 tools. What each one is for:
get_news_by_keyword — Search for news using specific keywordsget_news_by_location — Retrieve news relevant to a particular locationget_news_by_topic — Get news based on a chosen topicget_top_news — Fetch the top news stories from Google Newsget_trending_terms — Return trending keywords from Google Trends for a specified locationget_trends — Pull Google Search interest over an explicit window to inspect growth and seasonality curvesget_growth — Measure how much search interest changed over custom periods (e.g. 3M, 1Y) and compare growth side-by-sideget_ranked_trends — Get a ranked list of the highest-volume or fastest-growing keywords on Google Search right nowget_top_trends — Discover top trending topics on Google Trends right now without requiring a keyword queryConfiguration is passed through the environment: HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, GOOGLE_TRENDS_DELAY, USERPROFILE, LOCALAPPDATA, APPDATA, PYPI_API_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
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.
Among the AI and media services options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Google News & Trends MCP's toolset — get_news_by_keyword, get_news_by_location, get_news_by_topic and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by AKzar1el; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
