AgentSearch adds news search tool for AI agents

AgentSearch has introduced a news search tool, accessible via its agentsearch-mcp package and directly through the x402 API. This new tool is designed to provide agents with up-to-date articles, enabling them to perform tasks like tracking releases or answering current events questions, distinguishing it from general web search which often returns evergreen content. The news search functionality can be integrated into various AI clients, including Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude Desktop, by configuring specific environment variables and utilizing a dedicated wallet for transactions on the Base network.
