22
+ ## Tools
23
+
24
+ Nine tools across two GDELT APIs — DOC API for global print/web news (last 3 months, 65 languages, no auth) and TV API for US television transcripts (2009–Oct 2024, 150+ stations):
25
+
26
+ | Tool | Description |
27
+ |:---|:---|
28
+ | `gdelt_search_articles` | Search the last 3 months of global news coverage (65 languages) with full-text and filter operators. Returns up to 250 articles. |
29
+ | `gdelt_get_coverage_timeline` | Retrieve a time series of coverage volume or average tone for a query. `volume_with_articles` mode includes top articles per spike timestep. |
30
+ | `gdelt_get_tone_distribution` | Get a tone histogram (bins ~−30 to +30) showing whether coverage is uniformly negative, bimodal, or clustered near neutral. |
31
+ | `gdelt_get_coverage_breakdown` | Break down coverage volume by source language or source country — a multi-series time series showing geographic propagation. |
32
+ | `gdelt_search_tv` | Search US television news closed captions (2009–Oct 2024) and return per-station airtime time series. |
33
+ | `gdelt_get_tv_clips` | Retrieve up to 3,000 matching TV clips with transcript excerpts and Internet Archive viewing links. |
34
+ | `gdelt_get_tv_context` | Get the 200 most frequent co-occurring words and phrases from TV clips matching a query. |
35
+ | `gdelt_get_tv_trending` | Retrieve trending topics currently dominating US television news (updated every 15 minutes; no query required). |
36
+ | `gdelt_list_tv_stations` | List all TV stations with market, network, and monitoring date ranges to verify station availability before querying. |
37
+
38
+ ### `gdelt_search_articles`
39
+
40
+ Search the last 3 months of global news with GDELT's full query syntax.
41
+
42
+ - Keywords, phrases (`"bird flu"`), boolean OR, and exclusion (`-sports`)
43
+ - Filter operators: `sourcecountry:`, `sourcelang:`, `domain:`, `theme:` (GKG taxonomy), `tone<`/`tone>`
44
+ - Proximity and repetition: `near20:"flu virus"`, `repeat3:"outbreak"`
45
+ - Configurable sort (relevance, date) and result count (up to 250)
46
+ - Returns URL, title, publication date, domain, language, source country, and social image URL
47
+ - Query is echoed in response for chaining
48
+
49
+ ---
50
+
51
+ ### `gdelt_get_coverage_timeline`
52
+
53
+ Retrieve when coverage of a topic spiked, with three modes:
54
+
55
+ - `volume` — normalized percentage of all global coverage per timestep
56
+ - `volume_with_articles` — volume plus top articles driving each spike; use for signal detection without a follow-up search call
57
+ - `tone` — average sentiment score per timestep (combine with `gdelt_get_tone_distribution` for the full picture)
58
+ - Configurable smoothing and time range
59
+
60
+ ---
61
+
62
+ ### `gdelt_get_tone_distribution`
63
+
64
+ Snapshot tone histogram across all articles matching a query.
65
+
66
+ - Bins from approximately −30 to +30; each bin includes representative article URLs
67
+ - Summary fields: `peakNegativeBin`, `peakPositiveBin`, `neutralPct` (% of articles in the −2 to +2 range)
68
+ - Distinct from the tone timeline — distribution across all matching articles, not over time
69
+
70
+ ---
71
+
72
+ ### `gdelt_get_coverage_breakdown`
73
+
74
+ Multi-series time series showing which countries or languages drove coverage.
75
+
76
+ - Break down by `language` or `country`
77
+ - Top 10 series by total volume; remaining series aggregated into an "Other" bucket
78
+ - Use to trace how a story propagated geographically
79
+
80
+ ---
81
+
82
+ ### `gdelt_search_tv`
83
+
84
+ Search US television news transcripts (2009–Oct 2024) with per-station airtime analysis.
85
+
86
+ - Structured `stations` parameter (e.g. `["CNN", "FOXNEWS"]`) — the server embeds station filters in the query string
87
+ - Normalize results to relative % or return raw counts
88
+ - TV-specific operators: `market:`, `show:`, `context:`
89
+ - Use `gdelt_list_tv_stations` to verify station active date ranges before querying recent events
90
+
91
+ ---
92
+
93
+ ### `gdelt_get_tv_clips`
94
+
95
+ Retrieve actual TV news clips driving a coverage signal.
96
+
97
+ - Up to 3,000 clips per call
98
+ - Each clip: show name, station, air timestamp, 15-second transcript excerpt, direct Archive.org link, and optional thumbnail
99
+ - Sort by relevance, date descending, or date ascending
100
+
101
+ ---
102
+
103
+ ### `gdelt_get_tv_context`
104
+
105
+ Vocabulary framing analysis for TV coverage of a topic.
106
+
107
+ - Returns the 200 most frequent non-stopword terms from matching clips
108
+ - Relative frequency scores (query term = 100)
109
+ - Use to identify narrative framing, related concepts, or follow-up search terms
110
+
111
+ ---
112
+
113
+ ### `gdelt_get_tv_trending`
114
+
115
+ Zero-argument entry point for the current TV news cycle.
116
+
117
+ - Returns trending topics, keywords, and phrases dominating national networks
118
+ - Updated every 15 minutes
119
+ - Note: coverage data ends Oct 2024; results reflect the archive endpoint, not a live feed
120
+
121
+ ---
122
+
123
+ ### `gdelt_list_tv_stations`
124
+
125
+ Station metadata lookup before querying.
126
+
127
+ - All available stations with market, network, monitoring start date, and end date
128
+ - `isActive` flag — `true` when end date is within the last 24 hours
129
+ - Use to verify a station was active during a target time period
130
+
131
+ ## Features
132
+
133
+ Built on [`@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core):
134
+
135
+ - Declarative tool definitions — single file per tool, framework handles registration and validation
136
+ - Unified error handling — handlers throw, framework catches, classifies, and formats
137
+ - Pluggable auth: `none`, `jwt`, `oauth`
138
+ - Swappable storage backends: `in-memory`, `filesystem`, `Supabase`, `Cloudflare KV/R2/D1`
139
+ - Structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing
140
+ - STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports
141
+
142
+ GDELT-specific:
143
+
144
+ - Shared rate-limit queue (1 req/5s) across all tools — enforces GDELT's published limit without caller coordination
145
+ - Two service layers (`GdeltDocService`, `GdeltTvService`) mapping clean tool parameters to the DOC and TV API URL conventions
146
+ - TV station filter operators embedded in query strings internally — callers pass structured `stations` arrays, not raw query syntax
147
+
148
+ Agent-friendly output:
149
+
150
+ - Query echo on every response — searches return the original query and applied timespan so agents can chain calls without re-deriving parameters
151
+ - Discriminated series labels — timeline and breakdown responses carry typed `label` fields (`"Volume Intensity"`, `"Average Tone"`, language/country names) rather than positional arrays
152
+ - Structured station metadata — `isActive` boolean and ISO 8601 date fields let agents reason about TV station availability without parsing date strings
153
+ - Partial-coverage signals in distribution output — `neutralPct`, `peakNegativeBin`, `peakPositiveBin` summary fields let agents branch on sentiment without histogramming the raw bins themselves
154
+
155
+ ## Getting started
156
+
157
+ Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.
158
+
159
+ ```json
160
+ {
161
+ "mcpServers": {
162
+ "gdelt": {
163
+ "type": "stdio",
164
+ "command": "bunx",
165
+ "args": ["@cyanheads/gdelt-mcp-server@latest"],
166
+ "env": {
167
+ "MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE": "stdio",
168
+ "MCP_LOG_LEVEL": "info"
169
+ }
170
+ }
171
+ }
172
+ }
173
+ ```
174
+
175
+ Or with npx (no Bun required):
176
+
177
+ ```json
178
+ {
179
+ "mcpServers": {
180
+ "gdelt": {
181
+ "type": "stdio",
182
+ "command": "npx",
183
+ "args": ["-y", "@cyanheads/gdelt-mcp-server@latest"],
184
+ "env": {
185
+ "MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE": "stdio",
186
+ "MCP_LOG_LEVEL": "info"
187
+ }
188
+ }
189
+ }
190
+ }
191
+ ```
192
+
193
+ Or with Docker:
194
+
195
+ ```json
196
+ {
197
+ "mcpServers": {
198
+ "gdelt": {
199
+ "type": "stdio",
200
+ "command": "docker",
201
+ "args": [
202
+ "run", "-i", "--rm",
203
+ "-e", "MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=stdio",
204
+ "ghcr.io/cyanheads/gdelt-mcp-server:latest"
205
+ ]
206
+ }
207
+ }
208
+ }
209
+ ```
210
+
211
+ For Streamable HTTP, set the transport and start the server:
212
+
213
+ ```sh
214
+ MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=http MCP_HTTP_PORT=3010 bun run start:http
215
+ # Server listens at http://localhost:3010/mcp
216
+ ```
217
+
218
+ ### Prerequisites
219
+
220
+ - [Bun v1.3.0](https://bun.sh/) or higher (or Node.js v24+).
221
+ - No API key required — GDELT is a free public API.

+
223
+ ### Installation
224
+
225
+ 1. **Clone the repository:**
226
+

270
+
271
+ ## Running the server
272
+
273
+ ### Local development
274
+
275
+ - **Build and run:**
276
+
277
+ ```sh
278
+ # One-time build
279
+ bun run rebuild
280
+
281
+ # Run the built server
282
+ bun run start:stdio
283
+ # or
284
+ bun run start:http
285
+ ```
286
+
287
+ - **Run checks and tests:**
288
+
289
+ ```sh
290
+ bun run devcheck # Lint, format, typecheck, security audit
291
+ bun run test # Vitest test suite
292
+ bun run lint:mcp # Validate MCP definitions against spec
293
+ ```
294
+
295
+ ### Docker
296
+
297
+ ```sh
298
+ docker build -t gdelt-mcp-server .
299
+ docker run --rm -p 3010:3010 gdelt-mcp-server
300
+ ```
301
+
302
+ The Dockerfile defaults to HTTP transport, stateless session mode, and logs to `/var/log/gdelt-mcp-server`. OpenTelemetry peer dependencies are installed by default — build with `--build-arg OTEL_ENABLED=false` to omit them.

308
+ | `src/index.ts` | `createApp()` entry point — registers tools and inits services. |
309
+ | `src/config` | Server-specific environment variable parsing and validation with Zod. |
310
+ | `src/mcp-server/tools` | Tool definitions (`*.tool.ts`). Nine tools across DOC and TV APIs. |
311
+ | `src/services/gdelt-doc` | `GdeltDocService` — wraps the DOC API for article search, timelines, tone, and breakdowns. |
312
+ | `src/services/gdelt-tv` | `GdeltTvService` — wraps the TV API for transcript search, clips, context, and trending. |
313
+ | `src/services/gdelt-rate-limiter` | `GdeltRateLimiter` singleton — shared 1 req/5s queue across both services. |
314
+ | `tests/` | Unit and integration tests mirroring `src/`. |

316
+ ## Development guide
317
+
318
+ See [`CLAUDE.md`](./CLAUDE.md) for development guidelines and architectural rules. The short version:
319
+
320
+ - Handlers throw, framework catches — no `try/catch` in tool logic
321
+ - Use `ctx.log` for request-scoped logging, `ctx.state` for tenant-scoped storage
322
+ - Register new tools via the barrels in `src/mcp-server/tools/definitions/index.ts`
323
+ - Wrap GDELT API calls: validate raw JSON → normalize to domain type → return output schema; never fabricate missing fields
324
+

11
+ - **`gdelt_search_articles`** — full-text search across the last 3 months of global news (65 languages, up to 250 results) with DOC API query syntax: phrases, boolean OR, `sourcecountry:`, `sourcelang:`, `domain:`, `theme:`, `tone<`/`tone>`, `near:`, `repeat:`
12
+ - **`gdelt_get_coverage_timeline`** — coverage volume and tone time series with three modes: `volume`, `volume_with_articles` (top articles per timestep), and `tone`
13
+ - **`gdelt_get_tone_distribution`** — tone histogram (~−30 to +30 bins) with `peakNegativeBin`, `peakPositiveBin`, and `neutralPct` summary fields
14
+ - **`gdelt_get_coverage_breakdown`** — multi-series coverage timeline broken down by source `language` or `country`; top 10 series plus aggregated "Other" bucket
15
+ - **`gdelt_search_tv`** — US TV transcript search (2009–Oct 2024, 150+ stations) with per-station normalized airtime time series
16
+ - **`gdelt_get_tv_clips`** — retrieves up to 3,000 TV clips with 15-second transcript excerpts and Internet Archive viewing links
17
+ - **`gdelt_get_tv_context`** — top 200 co-occurring words/phrases from TV clips matching a query, with relative frequency scores
18
+ - **`gdelt_get_tv_trending`** — zero-argument tool returning trending topics across national TV networks (updated every 15 minutes)
19
+ - **`gdelt_list_tv_stations`** — station metadata (market, network, date range, `isActive` flag) for verifying availability before querying
20
+ - **`GdeltDocService`** — wraps the DOC API (`/api/v2/doc/doc`); used by article search, timeline, tone, and breakdown tools
21
+ - **`GdeltTvService`** — wraps the TV API (`/api/v2/tv/tv`); used by TV search, clips, context, trending, and station list tools
22
+ - **`GdeltRateLimiter`** singleton — shared 1 req/5s queue across both services, enforcing GDELT's published rate limit
23
+ - `bunfig.toml` for Bun runtime configuration

+ ## Fixed
10
+
11
+ - **`gdelt_get_tone_distribution`** — `tonechart` bins expose article URLs under `toparts`, not `articles`; handler now reads the correct key
12
+ - **`gdelt_get_coverage_timeline`** — `volume_with_articles` mode likewise reads `toparts` per timestep instead of `articles`
13
+ - **`gdelt_get_tv_clips`** — thumbnail URL field is `preview_thumb`, not `thumbnail_url`; clips now include thumbnails when available
14
+ - **`gdelt_search_tv`** — TV timeline modes corrected: `timelinevolnorm` (normalized) and `timelinevol` (raw); prior values `timelinenorm`/`timeline` are not valid TV API modes
15
+ - **`gdelt_get_tv_context`** — `RawTvWord` fields are `label`/`count`, not `Label`/`Score`; context words now populate correctly
16
+ - **`gdelt_get_tv_trending`** — trending response key is `OverallTrendingTopics` (with fallback to `OverallTrendingPhrases`); prior key `topics` never matched, always returned empty
17
+ - **`gdelt_list_tv_stations`** — station list response key is `station_details`, not `stations`; station metadata now returns correctly
18
+ - **Empty-response guard** — `gdelt-fetch.ts` now throws `serviceUnavailable` on an empty API response body instead of passing a blank string to `JSON.parse`

27
+ AUTHORING GUIDE — applies to the new per-version file you create from this
28
+ template.
29
+
30
+ Audience: someone scanning release notes to decide what affects them. Lead
31
+ each bullet with the symbol or concept name in **bold** so they can skip
32
+ what's irrelevant and zoom in on what's not.
33
+
34
+ Tone: terse, fact-dense, not verbose. Default to one sentence per bullet —
35
+ name the symbol, state what changed, stop. Use a second sentence only when
36
+ it carries weight. If a bullet feels long, it is.
37
+
38
+ Cut: mechanism walkthroughs (those belong in JSDoc, AGENTS.md, or the
39
+ relevant skill), ceremonial framings ("This release introduces…",
40
+ backwards-compat paragraphs), file-by-file test enumerations, internal
41
+ implementation notes. Prefer code/symbol names over English re-explanations.
42
+
43
+ Narrative intro: skip by default. Add one short sentence only when the
44
+ release theme genuinely needs framing the bullets can't carry.
45
+
46
+ Sections: Keep a Changelog order — Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed,
47
+ Fixed, Security. Include only sections with entries; delete the rest
48
+ (including the commented-out scaffolding below). Don't ship empty headers.
49
+
50
+ Include: every distinct fact a reader needs to adopt or audit the release —
51
+ new exports, signatures, lint rule IDs, env vars, breaking changes, version
52
+ bumps on shipped skills. Nothing more.
53
+
54
+ Links: link issues, PRs, docs, or skills where they help a reader jump to
55
+ context. Once per item per entry — don't re-link the same issue in summary,
56
+ narrative, and bullet. Skip links for inline symbol names; code spans speak
57
+ for themselves.
58
+
59
+ Issue/PR URLs: use full URLs. GitHub's bare `#NN` auto-link only resolves
60
+ inside its own UI, not in npm reads or local editors.
61
+
62
+ [#38](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/issues/38) ← issue
63
+ [#42](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/pull/42) ← PR
64
+
65
+ Verify numbers exist before linking (`gh issue view NN`, `gh pr view NN`).
66
+ Never speculate on a future number — `#42` for an upcoming PR silently
67
+ resolves to whatever real item already owns 42, and timeline previews pull
68
+ in that unrelated item's metadata.
69
+
70
+ TAG ANNOTATIONS — the annotated tag body renders as the GitHub Release body
71
+ via `gh release create --notes-from-tag`. The tag is a derivative of this
72
+ changelog entry — a condensed, scannable version, not a copy. Format:
73
+
74
+ <theme — omit version number, GitHub prepends it>
75
+ ← blank line
76
+ <1-2 sentence context: what this release does>
77
+ ← blank line
78
+ Dependency bumps: ← section header
79
+ ← blank line
80
+ - `@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core` ^0.9.1 → ^0.9.6 ← bullet
81
+ ← blank line
82
+ Changed: ← only sections with entries
83
+ ← blank line
84
+ - `format()` output includes `query` in text mode
85
+ ← blank line
86
+ Added:
87
+ ← blank line
88
+ - `manifest.json` scaffolded for MCPB bundle support
89
+ - Install badges (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)
90
+ ← blank line
91
+ <N> tests pass; `bun run devcheck` clean. ← footer
92
+
93
+ Never a flat comma-separated string. Always structured markdown with
94
+ sections. The tag must scan well as a rendered GitHub Release page.
