Stock news for AI agents and RAG
An agent that guesses a price move from a headline is not grounded. MarketNewsAPI gives it the article, a neutral summary, the tickers, and the original URL, over MCP or REST.
How does a stock news API help builders of ai agents and retrieval systems?
Pro includes an MCP server with tools to search news, fetch an article, and list trending tickers, so Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can cite stock news instead of inventing it. The 7-day trial includes it.
When this stock news workflow fits
- Your agent should link the publisher, not paraphrase from memory.
- You want summaries short enough for a context window.
- You already use MCP and do not want a custom news tool.
The call
Prompt an agent can answer from the tools
The same article shape on every guide: ticker, type, timestamps, summary, and a link. Press releases include the full text.

Connect MCP
Point the client at the MCP server. Tools include search, latest news, one article, trending tickers, the ticker list, sources, and a market brief. Each article includes a summary and a source link.
Or call REST
The same data is on GET /v1/news. Pass q for full-text search and tickers when the user named a symbol.
Keep the model honest
Instruct it to quote summary and link url. If the articles do not support a price claim, it should say so. This API is news, not a price feed.
