Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an assistant search global news and analyze tone, themes, events and geographic signals from GDELT.

What you can do
Search global news coverage through GDELT and retrieve matching articles and signals by query or topic. Analyze the emotional tone of news coverage. Look up geographic events and location-based signals. Surface trending news topics and themes.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to research current global news coverage, compare tone across sources, or track events and trends by place and theme without leaving the chat.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio via npx, so Node.js is needed. The README installs the package from a GitHub release archive rather than the npm registry. No accounts, API keys, environment variables or headers are declared.
Before you install
The README promotes a separate bundle of 180+ tools and persistent agent memory, so check what is actually installed. The install pulls a tarball from a GitHub release, which is less auditable than a registry package; review the source before running it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open GDELT News MCP by UnClick in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.

  • Tools listed15 pts

    Answer tools/list without a credential, or ship a package that starts in a sandbox without one.
