Integration

World News API integration

World News API indexes news articles from thousands of sources in over 200 countries and dozens of languages. Search and filter articles by text, entities, date, location, category, language and sentiment, get the top news clusters of a country, fetch full articles by id, extract the content and links of any news page, look up newspaper front pages and monitored sources, and geocode a place name. The RSS feed route is not exposed (it returns XML, not JSON). Authentication is an API key sent in the x-api-key header; every call costs quota points from a daily allowance.

The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in World News API.Built from the 8 World News API tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with World News API

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Extract news, 1 operation

extract_newsExtract newsGETExtract an article from any news page URL into structured fields: title, text, images, videos, publish date, authors and language. Set analyze to also detect entities and sentiment.

Extract news link, 1 operation

extract_news_linksExtract news linksGETList the news article links found on a news site page, such as a home page or a section page. Pass a link to extract_news to get its content.

Geo coordinate, 1 operation

get_geo_coordinatesGet geo coordinatesGETTurn an address or place name into latitude and longitude, to build the location-filter of search_news.

Retrieve front page, 1 operation

get_newspaper_front_pageGet newspaper front pageGETGet the front page image of a newspaper for a given day. Filter by country and by publication identifier; leave out date for the latest edition (archive starts 2024-07-09).

Retrieve news, 1 operation

Use World News API from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect World News API in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its World News API operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
