No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/country_news for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

The latest news about a country today, ranked by prominence (Google News): top current stories about China, India, Germany, Brazil or any other country, newest window first — not an unranked firehose. Optionally add a keyword query (“election”, “floods”) with a trailing day window, or read a section of the country’s local Google News edition (WORLD, NATION, BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTS, SCIENCE, HEALTH). Returns ranked items with title, source publication, link and publish time.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`country`	string	yes	Country name or ISO-2 code, e.g. “China”, “DE”, “Brazil”.
`topic`	string	no	Optional: read this section of the country’s LOCAL Google News edition (news for readers there): WORLD \| NATION \| BUSINESS \| TECHNOLOGY \| ENTERTAINMENT \| SPORTS \| SCIENCE \| HEALTH. The edition is served in the country’s own language, derived from the region (Germany -> German headlines, China -> Chinese, France -> French, Japan -> Japanese, Mexico -> Spanish); the response says which `language` was used. A country with no distinct edition in any language returns found:false reason no_local_edition rather than another country’s stories (omit topic to get English news about any country).
`language`	string	no	Optional, topic mode only: force the edition language as a primary language code (“fr”, “de”, “en”, “zh”). Needed for multilingual countries where the derived default is only one of several: Switzerland defaults to German, Belgium to Dutch, Canada to English, India to English. Ignored without `topic`.
`query`	string	no	Optional keyword combined with the country in the search, e.g. “election”, “floods”.
`days`	number	no	Search window: only items from the last N days (default 2).
`limit`	number	no	Max items (1-50, default 20).
