Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Google News search functionality through SerpAPI, with automatic categorization, multi-language/region support and robust error handling.
https://github.com/ChanMeng666/server-google-newsStop building yet another news integration from scratch. This MCP server gives you production-ready Google News search capabilities in minutes, not weeks.
You know the drill: you need current news data in your AI application, so you start researching Google News APIs, figuring out authentication, handling rate limits, parsing responses, and building categorization logic. Three weeks later, you're still debugging edge cases instead of shipping features.
This MCP server eliminates that entire cycle. You get a robust, battle-tested news search interface that plugs directly into Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible AI system.
Multi-dimensional Search: Not just basic keyword search. You can search by topic tokens, publication filters, story coverage, and section-specific content. Perfect for building news analysis tools that need granular control over data sources.
Smart Categorization: Every news result gets automatically categorized (AI & Technology, Business, Science & Research, Healthcare, etc.). No more manual classification or building your own topic detection models.
Global Coverage: Built-in support for multiple languages and regions. Switch between markets with simple parameter changes - gl=uk&hl=en for UK English news, gl=de&hl=de for German content.
Production-Ready Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling for API failures, rate limits, and invalid inputs. Your applications won't crash when external services hiccup.
Content Intelligence Platforms: Build tools that monitor industry news and automatically categorize developments. The server's topic categorization means you can immediately route AI insights to the right teams.
Research Automation: Create AI assistants that stay current with breaking developments in specific fields. Query for "quantum computing" and get categorized results that your AI can analyze for research insights.
Multi-Market Monitoring: Track news across different regions and languages for global businesses. The language fallback ensures you always get results, even for unsupported language codes.
News-Aware AI Applications: Build Claude workflows that incorporate current events. The MCP integration means your AI has direct access to real-time news context without complex API orchestration.
Setting this up takes about 5 minutes:
npm install @chanmeng666/google-news-servergoogle_news_search({q: "AI developments", gl: "us", hl: "en"})The server handles the SerpAPI integration, response parsing, categorization logic, and error scenarios. You focus on using the news data, not managing the infrastructure.
Real-time information access is becoming table stakes for AI applications. Users expect AI assistants to know about current events, breaking news, and recent developments. This server gives you that capability without the complexity of building and maintaining your own news aggregation system.
The automatic categorization is particularly valuable - it turns raw news feeds into structured, actionable intelligence that your AI can reason about effectively.
Ready to add news intelligence to your AI workflows? The server is available via multiple installation methods, and you can be pulling categorized news data within minutes of setup.
