Live global news signals: ranked wire, story timelines, coverage volume/tone/surges. Free, no auth.
A remote MCP server that gives an assistant live global news signals: a ranked wire, story timelines, and country and topic coverage volume, tone and surges.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/news.geotone%2Fgeotone/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

What's surging in global news right now: topics whose coverage is ≥2 standard deviations above their trailing average (z-score), the biggest week-over-week movers, and surging countries. Derived every 3 hours from GDELT across 65+ languages.
Takes no parameters.
Topic statistics
Live media-coverage statistics for one geopolitical topic (e.g. 'ukraine-war', 'taiwan-strait', 'sanctions'): daily volume and tone series, z-score, week-over-week change, and a sample of recent articles (headline+link only). Returns the latest 30 days by default; pass response_format='detailed' for the full 90. Use search_topics to find slugs.
slugrequiredresponse_formatCountry statistics
Live media-coverage statistics for one country by ISO-3166 alpha-2 code (e.g. 'ua', 'cn'): daily series (latest 30 days by default; response_format='detailed' for 90) of coverage volume (share of world news coverage that is about that country) and tone, plus armed-conflict fatalities (UCDP, trailing 12 months), displacement stocks (UNHCR: IDPs, refugees, asylum seekers), and coverage origin (what share of coverage about the country is produced by its own outlets vs abroad).
iso2requiredresponse_formatBilateral co-coverage
Bilateral co-coverage signal for a monitored country pair (e.g. a='cn', b='us'): how much the world's press mentions the two countries together, and in what tone. ~50 strategic pairs are monitored.
arequiredbrequiredresponse_formatSearch topics
Search Geotone's tracked geopolitical topics by keyword (matches name, slug, and description). Returns slugs usable with get_topic, plus each topic's current coverage stats.
queryrequiredDaily risk briefing
Geotone's daily global risk briefing for a date (YYYY-MM-DD): an analytical summary of coverage surges, tone shifts, and notable movers, with the statistics behind each claim.
daterequiredDisease outbreaks vs news attention
Disease outbreak events indexed from the WHO Disease Outbreak News (facts and links; WHO's assessments live at the linked pages), each with Geotone's measured news attention: articles carrying the disease in GDELT's thematic tagging across all languages, trailing 14 days vs the prior 14. status 'active' means a WHO update within 90 days; outbreaks are never marked ended by feed disappearance. DON covers internationally significant events and is not exhaustive — absence here is not absence of disease.
limitstatusThe live wire
The live wire: the world's most significant stories right now, ranked by a published formula (authority-weighted outlet breadth, boosted by consequence themes, coded events, and casualty figures, decayed by recency over 72h). Each story carries one representative link, outlet count, tone, countries, non-English source languages that also reported the event, and a chain_id when it belongs to a multi-day story timeline (fetch with get_story_chain). Reclustered every 3 hours.
limitStory timeline
A story timeline: the threaded developments of one multi-day event chain, oldest first (e.g. attack → casualties confirmed → international reaction). Use the chain_id values returned by get_wire. Each development is a headline + link + outlet count + tone.
chain_idrequired83% 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.
Declare a GitHub repository with a README, or serve resource_documentation in the OAuth protected-resource metadata.
A hosted service is used under its provider's terms, so no license is expected here. This check is left out of the percentage.
