Overview

AI-generated overview

GlobeNow.tv lets an assistant pull a city's latest news videos and find free official live TV channels by country and language.

What you can do
  • Get recent news videos for a city or place, with outlets, coordinates and links to the city page and 3D globe
  • Find free, official 24/7 live TV channels by name, country or language, including news, business, kids, music and religious channels
  • Show results in clients that support MCP Apps as a place view
When to use it
Useful when a user asks what is happening in a particular city or place, or wants to watch a live news or TV channel and needs a free official stream. Handy for quick, location-based news lookups without an API key.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at globenow.tv; no key, account, environment variables or headers declared. Network access is required.
Before you install
News videos come from broadcasters' own YouTube uploads and are refreshed every few minutes, so coverage and availability depend on those outlets. Live channel results include whether a stream is playable, which may vary by region.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open GlobeNow.tv live news and TV in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

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/tv.globenow%2Flive-news/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.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

get_city_news

See a place on the GlobeNow 3D globe

Use when the user asks what is happening in a city or place (e.g. 'news from Tokyo', '台北发生了什么'). Returns the latest news videos filmed or reported there (default: last 24 hours) with outlets, coordinates and links to the city page and the 3D globe. In clients that support MCP Apps it shows a place card (city photo from Wikimedia, place name) with one button that opens the full GlobeNow.tv 3D globe at that place in a new tab, where the user drags the globe and taps a light to play that video.

Parameterscityrequiredhourslimitlanguage

find_live_tv

Play a live TV channel

Use when the user wants to watch a TV channel or live news (e.g. 'play BBC News', '凤凰卫视直播', 'Japanese news live'). Finds free, official 24/7 live channels (news, business, kids, music, religious and more; Simplified/Traditional Chinese names both work) with country, language, whether the stream plays worldwide and current viewers. In clients that support MCP Apps the best match starts playing right away in GlobeNow.tv's player; it can move to picture-in-picture and keep playing while the user chats.
