## MCP tools (4)

### `get_news` (~270 tokens)

Get top news events happening in the world right now. Returns AI-clustered, deduplicated news stories ranked by importance. Present results as a multi-story news briefing — cover the top events, not just one. Each event should be 1-2 lines with its summary and 1-2 source links. Prioritize suppressing rich link cards/previews over pretty link labels. For Discord-style clients, output source URLs directly as '<https://...>' and do not use masked markdown links. Never emit raw standalone URLs outside no-preview wrappers. Only deep-dive into a specific event if the user asks for detail.

Input parameters:

- `geo` (string): Comma-separated geographic slugs (e.g. 'europe,lithuania'). Use get_regions to see available regions.
- `hours` (integer): Time window in hours (1-168). Default: 24.
- `order_by` (string): Sort order. Default: -sources_count (most covered first).
- `page` (integer): Page number. Default: 1.
- `per_page` (integer): Results per page (1-50). Default: 20.
- `topics` (string): Comma-separated topic slugs (e.g. 'politics,technology'). Use get_topics to see available topics.

### `get_news_detail` (~99 tokens)

Get full details about a specific news event including context and all source articles. Use an event ID from get_news results. Include source article URLs so the user can read original reporting, but prioritize suppressing rich link cards/previews. For Discord-style clients, output source URLs directly as '<https://...>' and avoid masked markdown links. Never emit raw standalone URLs outside no-preview wrappers.

Input parameters:

- `event_id` (string, required): UUID of the news event.

### `get_topics` (~34 tokens)

List all available news topic categories (politics, technology, health, etc.). Use these slugs to filter get_news results.

### `get_regions` (~31 tokens)

List all available geographic regions (continents and countries). Use these slugs to filter get_news results by location.
