Google News MCP Server for AI Agents

MCP server (Apify Standby mode) exposing Google News search as a live tool call for an AI agent: keyword search with Google's own operators, or any of 20 topic sections, in any language edition. Flat fee per call, no start fee. For full article text and resolved publisher URLs in bulk, use google-news-scraper.

Run it

This tool runs in Apify Standby mode as an MCP server — point an MCP client (Claude, Cursor, etc.) at the Standby URL below, or call it directly over JSON-RPC. No "Run" step, no dataset to poll.

curl -X POST "https://fetchsmith--google-news-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_news","arguments":{"limit": 3, "query": "openai"}}}'

Returns the tool result as MCP content, charged once per call regardless of how many rows come back.

Guides

Standby MCP — one URL that's always on, instead of an Actor run you poll — Wiring a Google News search into an agent as an Apify Standby MCP server instead of a normal Actor run. The difference that actually matters for an agent isn't the data — it's that there's no run to start, poll, or wait on.
