## What it does

This MCP server runs as a remote HTTP service at `https://api.newzai.ai/mcp/` without local scraper maintenance. It exposes three structured tools: `fetch_news_headlines` for top front-page stories, `search_news_predefined_category` for standard sections like `TECHNOLOGY` or `BUSINESS`, and `search_news_for_any_category` for custom keyword queries.

Search queries accept freshness limits via `last_n_hours` and page size limits with `top_k` defaulting to 20 items. The backend covers 7 regions: India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Canada, and Germany. Standard language codes handle localized results.

Initial setup requires a Google OAuth sign-in flow. Headless agents running in environments without interactive browser access will fail on the first authorization step.
