Overview
Connect your AI client - Cursor, Claude, or ChatGPT - to Webz.io News Search. The client gets a news_search_by_webz tool and can search global news by itself. Every tool call runs a regular News Search request with your token - the same credits and rate limits apply. See Errors, Rate Limits & Credits. Log in at webz.io and copy the API token from your dashboard. It is the same token you use for the News Search API. Replace YOUR_WEBZ_TOKEN with your token. Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json on Windows) and restart Cursor:

- Search global news by topic
Ask your AI to call `news_search_by_webz` with a natural-language query like "EU AI regulation" and get recent articles with titles, URLs, and excerpts.
- Filter results by domain, language, or country
Narrow searches using parameters like `domain`, `language`, `country`, `sentiment`, or `category` to target specific sources or regions.
- Control result volume and time window
Specify `k` (1–50 articles) and `days` (how far back to search), or set `allow_all_dates` to search the full coverage window.
- Exclude unwanted sources
Use `exclude_domain` to skip specific domains, with the constraint that a domain cannot appear in both `domain` and `exclude_domain`.
- Get structured article summaries
Each result returns the article title, URL, publish date, and matching text excerpt, enabling your AI to summarize coverage with sources.
