GNews is a news API that lets you search articles from many sources worldwide and get the top headlines per category, country and language. Each article comes with its title, description, content snippet, image, source and publication date. Responses are JSON. The free plan needs a free API key, has a daily request limit and is meant for development and non-commercial use. An official MCP server at https://mcp.gnews.io/ lets AI agents search news; calls count toward the daily quota.
