What it does
This server exposes news article mention volume data for arbitrary topics via the Trends API. It provides time series, growth calculations, and live trending feeds without requiring direct scraping of news sites. It is aimed at developers building media monitoring, research, or trend-tracking tools.
- Retrieve a weekly time series of news mention volume for a keyword like 'federal reserve' to track media coverage over time.
- Calculate growth in news mentions over configurable windows (e.g., 3M, 12M, YTD) to identify rising or falling topics.
- Fetch a live ranked feed of currently trending news topics from Google News Top News.

Before you enable it
An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
