Install News & Trends Data in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Codex connects to it.
Steps
- Run this in a terminal. It writes the server into
~/.codex/config.toml, which the Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share.
codex mcp add news-and-trends --url 'https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=highbrow_fame/google-trends-reliable,highbrow_fame/substack-posts,highbrow_fame/hacker-news-stories,highbrow_fame/apple-podcasts-shows-episodes,highbrow_fame/google-trends-trending-now,highbrow_fame/google-news-articles,highbrow_fame/google-news-api,highbrow_fame/article-extractor-api,highbrow_fame/news-search-api,highbrow_fame/arxiv-api'- Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
Check it worked
Ask Codex: List the tools of news-and-trends.
If it does not start
- 401 Unauthorized
- The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Codex asks.
