Claude Code How to use Google News with Claude Code
You want Google News inside Claude Code so it can track a developing story, brief the team on industry news, monitor competitors and customers, and verify coverage before writing — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your Google News gateway
The gateway is the thing Claude Code connects to, and it is where you decide which Google News tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Google News tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Google News tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Claude Code
-
Add the gateway as a remote HTTP MCP server
claude mcp add arcade --transport http "<YOUR_ARCADE_GATEWAY_URL>"
-
Verify it was added
claude mcp get arcade claude mcp list
-
