mcp.tc/i/trend-news-agencyAbout
Connects to the Trend News Agency (trend.az) archive, which runs back to 2003 in English, Azerbaijani and Russian editions. It covers Azerbaijan, the South Caucasus, the Caspian, Central Asia, Turkey and Iran, with depth on energy, regional politics, trade corridors and economics. Tools browse headlines, search the archive, read full articles, check the front page and most-read lists, and look up journalists and the agency's policy pages.
Runs as a hosted streamable-http endpoint. No sign-in or API key is needed. Subscriber-only articles from the last year return metadata and an excerpt without the body. Returned article URLs should be cited, as attribution is a condition of use.

Codex
codex mcp add trend-news-agency --url https://api.trend.az/mcpOr edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:
[mcp_servers.trend-news-agency]
url = "https://api.trend.az/mcp"Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add --transport http trend-news-agency https://api.trend.az/mcpThis adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.
Any client
Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI’s settings file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"trend-news-agency": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.trend.az/mcp"
}
}
}Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.
Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://api.trend.az/mcp.
Embed
Show Trend News Agency in a README or on your site. Each embed links to this page, uses the server’s own URL, and sets no cookies. How embeds work
The card, the iframe and the JSON are in English. Add ?lang=it, fr, de or es to their address for another language.
README badge
[](https://mcp.tc/i/trend-news-agency)<a href="https://mcp.tc/i/trend-news-agency"><img src="https://mcp.tc/i/trend-news-agency/badge.svg" alt="Trend News Agency on mcp.tc" height="20"></a>It follows the reader’s light or dark mode. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to fix it, or ?style=compact to show the mark without the word.
Website card
<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/trend-news-agency.js" async></script>The card appears where the tag is. Add data-theme="dark" or data-size="compact" to the tag to change it. The file holds everything it needs, so it makes no other requests and sets no cookies.
iframe
<iframe src="https://mcp.tc/embed/trend-news-agency" title="Trend News Agency on mcp.tc" width="420" height="200" loading="lazy" allow="clipboard-write" style="border:0;border-radius:8px;max-width:100%"></iframe>Use it on pages that don’t allow scripts. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to the address to fix the colors.
JSON
The listing as data for your own pages and tools: name, tagline, the server’s own URL, tools and the “Add to” links. Any site can read it (CORS is open).
https://mcp.tc/i/trend-news-agency.jsonAI prompt
Paste this into an AI coding assistant, such as Claude Code or Cursor, and it adds the Trend News Agency card to your site.
Add the mcp.tc card for Trend News Agency, an MCP server, to my website. It is one static script: no build step, no package to install, no cookies.
Put this tag where the card should appear. The card renders right before it:
```html
<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/trend-news-agency.js" async></script>
```
To show the card somewhere else, put this placeholder there and load the same script once, for example before `</body>`. Keep the link inside: visitors without JavaScript see it.
```html
<div data-mcptc="trend-news-agency"><a href="https://mcp.tc/i/trend-news-agency">Trend News Agency on mcp.tc</a></div>
```
Options:
- `data-theme="light"` or `"dark"` on the tag or the placeholder fixes the colors. Without it, the card follows the visitor’s light or dark mode.
- `data-size="compact"` gives a smaller card without the tagline.
- The CSS variable `--mcptc-max-width` on the placeholder or a parent sets the width (default `520px`).
- `?lang=` on the script URL sets the card’s language: `en`, `it`, `fr`, `de` or `es`.
If the site has a Content Security Policy, allow `script-src https://mcp.tc` and `img-src data:` (the icon is inline).
For a README or other Markdown docs, use the badge instead:
```markdown
