World News Skill

What this skill does

Feed live world news to your agent. Call it as an MCP tool to pull current headlines, summaries and sources into your app. You switch it on with a single toggle — no SDK and no endpoint wiring — and it answers over MCP or REST using the same key as every other skill.

Run it with your own input. Live calls happen in your dashboard, on your key.

Ways to use it

Current events in your app

Enable World News so your app can add world news to your app — headlines, events, world time — without wiring a news provider.

A tool for briefing agents

Over MCP, news gives your model current context it can't infer from training data, called only when a task needs it.

Pull it server-side

Call World News over REST to add world news to your app into your own scheduled job or feed.

Use it in your app

Once enabled, this skill is reachable two ways — pick whichever fits how you build. Both use the same key.

For AI agentsMCP

It appears to your model as a callable tool. No extra code — the agent invokes it when a task needs it.

news

For apps & backendsREST

Call it from your server with one request and your key. Node, Python, Go — anything that can send a GET.

GET /v1/news

Ask your agent

“Enable World News and ask your agent to add world news to your app.”
“What's happening in the world right now?”

How to connect it over MCP or REST.

How do I add World News to my app or agent?

Enable the World News Skill on VerveKit, then reach it two ways with the same key: over MCP (it appears to your agent as the news tool) or over REST (call it from any backend). No SDK to install and no endpoint to wire.

MCP or REST — which should I use?

Both work off one key. Use MCP when an AI agent should decide when to add world news to your app — the skill shows up as a callable tool. Use REST when your own server-side code should call it directly. Many apps use both.

Which agents and frameworks does it work with?

Any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, LangChain, and custom agents all speak the Model Context Protocol, so World News appears as a standard tool with nothing skill-specific to integrate.

How many credits does a World News call cost?

Each call costs 1 credit. Every skill rides the same key and the same connection, so enabling more skills doesn't add more integrations to manage.

Do I need to install anything?

No SDK and no endpoint wiring — enabling the skill is a toggle. You point your agent at the VerveKit MCP endpoint (or call REST) and World News is available immediately.

Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?

VerveKit runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; World News is one of 300+ skills on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
