The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

gdelt_search_articles unknown never probed

Search the last 3 months of global news coverage (65+ languages) using the GDELT DOC API. Returns up to 250 articles with URL, title, source domain, language, country, publication date, and social image URL. Query supports full GDELT syntax: phrases ("bird flu"), boolean OR ((flu OR pandemic)), source country (sourcecountry:china), source language (sourcelang:spanish), domain (domain:who.int), GKG theme (theme:DISEASE_OUTBREAK), tone filter (tone<-5 for negative), proximity (near20:"flu virus"), and repeat (repeat3:"outbreak"). 250 is a hard per-call ceiling and GDELT offers no cursor: when a query fills it, split the run into narrower startDatetime/endDatetime windows — the response hands back the exact windows to use. Note: this API covers only the most recent 3 months — use gdelt_search_tv for historical TV transcripts back to 2009.

gdelt_get_coverage_timeline unknown never probed

Retrieve a time series showing when news coverage of a topic spiked, or how average tone shifted over time. Use mode "volume" for normalized coverage intensity (% of all global coverage per timestep). Use mode "volume_with_articles" for the same signal plus the top articles that drove each spike — this is the primary signal-detection mode: a single call reveals both the spike and its cause, avoiding a follow-up gdelt_search_articles call. Use mode "tone" for average sentiment score per timestep (negative = hostile/fearful, positive = celebratory). Date resolution is inferred from returned intervals: 15 minutes or hours for short windows, days for longer ones. In volume_with_articles mode the text surface shows the first 3 article links per timestep next to that timestep's true article count; name a timestep's date in points to render its full list. Note: DOC API covers only the last 3 months.

gdelt_get_tone_distribution unknown never probed

Get the tonal distribution of articles matching a query as a histogram (bins approximately -30 to +30). Unlike a single average tone score, the histogram reveals whether coverage is uniformly negative, bimodal (some articles extremely positive and some extremely negative), or clustered near neutral. Each bin includes representative article URLs. Distinct from gdelt_get_coverage_timeline (mode: tone) — this is a snapshot distribution across all matching articles, not a time series. Use gdelt_get_coverage_timeline with mode "tone" to see how sentiment shifted over time.

gdelt_get_coverage_breakdown unknown never probed

Break down news coverage volume over time by source language or source country, returning a multi-series time series (one series per language or country). Shows which countries or languages drove early vs. late coverage — useful for tracing how a story propagated geographically or across language communities. Returns up to 10 series by total volume and aggregates the rest into an "Other" bucket, naming every series it folded in there under otherSeriesLabels — pass any of those labels back as the series input to get that series complete, ranked or not. Values are normalized: each point is the topic's share of media output, not an absolute article count. Small media markets with concentrated coverage therefore rank above large markets with diverse output — a high value means the topic dominated that source's coverage, not that it published the most articles. Use breakdownBy "country" with the signal-detection chain to map geographic attention, or "language" to detect non-English media surges.

gdelt_search_tv unknown never probed

Search US television news closed captions (2009–October 2024, 150+ stations) for spoken mentions of a query. Returns a bounded, paged per-station time series showing airtime devoted to the topic. Use the stations parameter to select networks (e.g. ["CNN", "FOXNEWS", "MSNBC"]) — the TV API requires at least one station, supplied either there or as a station: selector inside query. TV query also supports in-query operators: station:CNN, network:CBS, market:"National", show:"Anderson Cooper 360", context:"vaccine". Important: most station monitoring ended October 2024 — use gdelt_list_tv_stations to verify active date ranges before querying recent events.

gdelt_get_tv_clips unknown never probed

Retrieve the top matching TV news clips (up to 3,000) for a query from the Internet Archive's Television News Archive. Each clip includes show name, station, air timestamp, a 15-second transcript excerpt, and a direct link to view the full one-minute clip. Use after gdelt_search_tv to read the actual transcript content driving a coverage spike. 3,000 is a hard per-call ceiling and GDELT offers no cursor: when a query fills it, split the run into narrower startDatetime/endDatetime windows — the response hands back the exact windows to use. Archive coverage spans 2009–October 2024.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

card completeness

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
