Search and monitor news articles across Google News through SandBase. Use when asked for news monitoring, current events research, news coverage analysis, or media tracking.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Google News Research News discovery and monitoring through SandBase's Google News integration. Search articles by topic, track news coverage, and analyze media patterns. Read [the API map](references/sandbase-api-map.md) before selecting a capability. ## Call SandBase capabilities Use the capability identifiers below as discovery hints, not MCP tool names. Find the matching endpoint with `sandbase_discover(q: "<provider and capability>")`; use its returned `name` in `sandbase_inspect(name: "<returned name>")`. Read `inputSchema`, pricing, and `execute_as`, then call `sandbase_run` using `execute_as.arguments.name` and schema-defined `arguments`. If a `run_id` is returned, poll `sandbase_run_get(run_id: "<returned run_id>")` within the task budget until `completed` or `failed`; report pending or failed runs without resubmitting them automatically. ## Operating principles - News data is time-sensitive — always note publication dates. - Cross-reference multiple sources for accuracy. - Distinguish news reporting from opinion and commentary. - Cite sources with title, publication, date, and URL. ## Workflow ### 1.

mdr add sandbaseai/sandbase-skills/google-news-research@sha256:6fa3a69173199152The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.495293d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
