gdelt-events-mcp — SCAFFOLD

Macro / geopolitical event detection. Wraps the GDELT 2.0 project — real-time event extraction from world news, with actor/location/sentiment metadata. Free underlying data; most people don't know GDELT exists.

Status: scaffolded. Idea #24 in ../../../ai-as-customer-ideas.md.

What GDELT is

  • A free, ongoing project that ingests global news every 15 minutes, runs entity / event / sentiment extraction, and publishes the results as queryable APIs + bulk dumps.

  • Schema includes: actors (Country, organization, person), event type (CAMEO codes), date, location, tone (-10 to +10), URL.

  • Endpoint: https://api.gdeltproject.org/api/v2/.

  • Bulk: 15-minute CSV files going back to 2015 (~500GB total, but daily slice is small).

Planned tools

Tool

What it returns

gdelt_search_events(query, country?, actor?, date_range, tone_range?)

Events matching filter; sorted by recency or relevance.

gdelt_trending_actors(country, window?)

Most-mentioned actors in a country in last N hours.

gdelt_tone_timeseries(query, granularity, range)

Sentiment timeseries for a topic (e.g. "How has news tone about

trended?").

gdelt_geographic_heatmap(query, date_range)

Premium: geographic distribution of an event.

gdelt_compare(query_a, query_b, range)

Premium: side-by-side volume + tone comparison.

Audience

  • Macro / hedge fund agents tracking geopolitical risk.

  • Investor agents doing sentiment analysis on companies/countries.

  • Newsroom agents finding "where is this story being covered?".

  • ESG / impact agents tracking events in regions of interest.

Open / closed split

  • Open: thin GDELT API wrapper, query builder.

  • Closed: precomputed actor and topic indexes (the GDELT bulk data is overwhelming raw; the moat is preprocessing it).

Notes

  • GDELT's own query syntax is quirky; abstracting it into a clean MCP surface is the value add.

  • This product is niche but high-margin — small audience, but each customer pays well (macro funds, journalism teams).

  • Easy to ship — GDELT API is REST/JSON, well-documented.
