Try the news before you connect.
Search a company or crypto asset, read recent headlines, and ask for a short summary. This uses the same public news service your agent can call. No NewsBeat account, API key or credit card is needed.
“What’s happening with Nvidia?”
Looking up Nvidia…
Three things to try
- Choose a company. Try Apple, Bitcoin or a name or ticker you follow. Select the right match if several assets share a name or symbol.
- Read the coverage. Each headline links to its source and shows its publisher and publication time. A recent source check does not mean every headline is new.
- Summarize what happened. The summary is requested only when you click the button. It is based on headlines, so open the linked reporting for full context.
Want to ask your own assistant?
The lookup above shows NewsBeat’s data in your browser. To bring it into your chat, your assistant needs to support a custom remote MCP connection. Follow the guide, add the NewsBeat address, then ask “What happened with Nvidia? Include sources and dates.”

Run this public REST request. It returns a short headline-based update and report links as JSON, without a key.
curl "https://www.newsbeat.dev/api/v2/summary?beat_id=b_bb964843350e"
Public MCP and REST reads are free during early access, with a limit of 120 requests per minute. The optional seven-day keyed REST trial is for testing a higher-limit agent workflow; it does not unlock different news. Your assistant or model provider may have its own charges.
