How to choose the best news tool or MCP for you
Topic or company
Topic searches find coverage of a subject. Company tools take a domain or name and return news about that company, some with sentiment or event types.
Dates and freshness
Give a time window and have your agent show each article's date and source. A news search ranks recent coverage; a general web search may not.
Headlines or full text
Search results give headlines and snippets. Read the full article before your agent quotes it, summarizes it or checks a claim.
Country and language
Coverage differs by country and language. For a local market, pass both, or use Google News for that edition.
| If you need | Choose | Today's price |
|---|---|---|
| Latest coverage of a topic | News search, provider picked per call | Free to $0.0013 per call |
| Google News for a keyword and country | Google News results | $0.0002 per call |
| News about one company | Company news scored for sentiment | $0.013 per call |
| Funding, hires and launches of a company | Company news events | $0.052 per call |
| The full text of an article | Diffbot article extraction | $0.0156 per 10 pages |
| A publisher's RSS feed | RSS and Atom feed reader | $0.0002 per call |
| What tech people discuss today | Hacker News front page | $0.0002 per call |
Quick picks: the multi-provider news search for topics, Google News for one market, company news by domain for account research, and Diffbot to read the article.
Why use Agensi instead of separate news MCPs?
Exa, Tavily and Brave each run their own search MCP server, and dedicated news APIs come with their own plans and keys. Most news jobs mix sources: a topic search, Google News for one country, company news for an account list and the full text of the articles that matter. We put them behind one connection and one balance, so your agent can combine them in one briefing and tell you what each call cost. Failed calls are free.
| What you get | Official MCP per brand | Own API key or community server | Agensi |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts | One per brand | One per brand | One |
| API keys | Per brand, or a sign-in | Per brand, kept by you | None |
| Payment | A plan or credits per brand | Per brand | One balance, per use |
| Spending control | Varies | Up to you | Limits per use, day and month, or ask first |
| Several sources in one answer | Connect several servers | Several servers and keys | One connection |
| Skills for the whole job | No | No | Yes, from the marketplace |
When another way is the better choice. Your own news API plan is the better choice when you monitor thousands of articles a day, need archives that go back years or want licensed full text to republish. Agensi fits research, daily briefings and checks you run a few times a day.
