Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

trends

trends___get_context

What people are posting, reading and betting about a keyword right now, or with hashtag=true the top TikTok and Instagram posts on one hashtag. Returns recent posts, videos, news stories, discussions and prediction markets per source, with engagement (views, likes, score) and top comments. Use it to explain why something is trending or what the conversation says; get_time_series and get_growth measure how much. Costs 1 request per data type (source or board) in the call; boards cost 1 request per 10 rows. Only data types that answer are charged; the answer says requests_charged. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

trends___get_growth

Point-to-point growth for a keyword on one or more sources. Each window is a preset string (12M, 3M, YTD, and the other listed periods). Values are on a 0-100 scale, plus absolute volume when available. Designed for growth questions; for charting or custom math, get_time_series provides the full series. App Downloads and App Rankings are keyword sources (Android bundle ID). They are not the App Store / Google Play live boards on get_top_trends. Costs 1 request per data type (source or board) in the call; boards cost 1 request per 10 rows. Only data types that answer are charged; the answer says requests_charged. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

trends___get_reviews

What customers say about a brand, app, product or place. Returns, per source, the matched listing with its all-time rating and review count, the newest reviews (stars, text, the company's reply) and a summary (average stars, star counts, share negative, share replied). Use it for brand sentiment and complaints; get_context covers social posts. Costs 1 request per data type (source or board) in the call; boards cost 1 request per 10 rows. Only data types that answer are charged; the answer says requests_charged. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

trends___get_time_series

Full historical series for one keyword on one or more sources (0-100 values, plus volume when available). Suited for charting or custom math. Live 'what's trending now' boards are on get_top_trends. get_growth answers most growth questions with less data. Costs 1 request per data type (source or board) in the call; boards cost 1 request per 10 rows. Only data types that answer are charged; the answer says requests_charged. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

trends___get_top_trends

Live top-trending boards: one feed type, several, or 'all'. No keyword. For 'Amazon Best Sellers by Category', 'Google Trends by Category', 'Pinterest Trending by Category', 'Top Websites', 'Substack by Category', and 'TikTok Trending Hashtags by Category', category selects the board. Default sort is current rank. Use sort='rank_change' for climbers vs a prior snapshot (window 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, or 30d). If the requested board is not in the database yet (for example a country that is not collected on the schedule), the board is fetched live. App Store Top Free, App Store Top Paid, and Google Play are live store boards, not keyword lookups. App history is available via get_growth or get_time_series with source App Downloads or App Rankings and an Android bundle ID. Live boards are only available here, not via get_time_series. Costs 1 request per data type (source or board) in the call; boards cost 1 request per 10 rows. Only data types that answer are charged; the answer says requests_charged. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

trends___get_usage

Shows your plan, requests used this month, requests left, and when it resets. Free: does not use a request. Call it when the user asks about their limit or after a limit error.

News Sentiment API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can News Sentiment API do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: trends___get_context, trends___get_growth, trends___get_reviews, trends___get_time_series, trends___get_top_trends, trends___get_usage. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is News Sentiment API working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 501 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did News Sentiment API ever remove tools?

Yes. trends___get_top_posts is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

Is News Sentiment API still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect News Sentiment API?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does News Sentiment API need an API key?

No. News Sentiment API completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is News Sentiment API?

It answers our handshake in 501 ms on average, which is faster than 24% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
