Google News & Trends MCP server

mcp-trendpulse

TrendPulse is a Python Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for researching current news and search-interest trends. It combines Google News discovery and article extraction with Google Trends analysis so MCP clients can inspect what is trending, compare keyword momentum, explore related demand, and add current-news context to research workflows.

The project currently ships as a community/self-hosted MCP server and also contains the implementation for a separate hosted TrendPulse by DigestSEO surface for remote MCP clients such as ChatGPT and Codex. The hosted layer uses a smaller, goal-oriented tool surface while the community server keeps the full low-level research toolkit available to developers.

Project status: the local/community server is usable today. The DigestSEO-hosted MCP and public OpenAI plugin are not released yet and should not be treated as available endpoints.

Engineering context: TrendPulse is part of the DigestSEO MCP ecosystem. It complements mcp-gsc for Google Search Console data, mcp-geo for AI visibility, and mcp-web-validator for technical web validation. The broader architecture is documented in the DigestSEO MCP Suite engineering case study.

TrendPulse Demand Brief

Need a fast evidence check before choosing a topic, keyword, market, product angle, or content bet? Tomi offers a human-produced TrendPulse Demand Brief for EUR 49.

For one decision, the brief covers up to five keywords/phrases and two geographic markets using TrendPulse's open-source research capabilities plus current public sources: search-interest direction, relative momentum, related demand, useful news context, and three concrete implications. Target turnaround is within 24 hours after payment is confirmed and the inputs are supplied.

See the exact scope and request format, read a public sample brief, or email info@tomiseregi.si%3A%0AMarkets%20(up%20to%202)%3A%0AContext%20%2F%20deadline%3A) with the subject TrendPulse Demand Brief [TP-RS1].

The paid brief is optional. The Community MCP remains free and unchanged, and the TP-RS1 marker is only an inbound attribution marker; no hidden telemetry is added to the MCP.

What TrendPulse can do

News research

• Search Google News by keyword, location, topic, or publisher domain.
• Retrieve top news stories.
• Resolve Google News links and extract article content.
• Fall back from normal HTTP retrieval to Playwright/Chromium for difficult pages.
• Optionally summarize article text with MCP client sampling, with local NLP as a fallback.
