In simple English
This tool lets your AI assistant search Google News and Google Trends in real time. You ask your AI a question about current events, and it fetches the latest articles and search terms to answer you. It runs locally on your computer and connects to apps like Claude. You do not pay for it, but you need Python or a package runner to start it. It helps you keep your AI chats informed about the world today.
What it is
An MCP (Model Context Protocol, a standard way for AI assistants to talk to external data sources) server that pulls RSS feeds from Google News and Google Trends. It formats the data so your AI assistant can read, search, and summarize current events on demand.
