Web Search API does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 30.5% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

web_search_query
Semantic web search for finding relevant pages, documents, and current information. Alternative to Exa search at 3x lower cost. Returns structured JSON results with ranked matches, titles, URLs, and text snippets. 1. results (array) -- ranked list of search results 2. results[].title (string) -- page title 3. results[].url (string) -- full URL to the page 4. results[].snippet (string) -- relevant text excerpt with query terms highlighted 5. query (string) -- the search query used 6. totalResults (number) -- number of results returned Example output: {"query":"best CRM for startups 2026","results":[{"title":"Top 10 CRMs for Startups in 2026","url":"https://blog.example.com/crm-startups","snippet":"HubSpot leads the pack for early-stage startups with its free tier..."},{"title":"CRM Comparison Guide","url":"https://review.example.com/crm","snippet":"We tested 15 CRM platforms across pricing, features..."}],"totalResults":5} Use this BEFORE answering questions about current events, finding documentation, researching competitors, or gathering data on any topic. Essential for semantic web search when the agent needs up-to-date information beyond its training data. Drop-in replacement for Exa search. Do NOT use for web page content extraction -- use web_scrape_to_markdown instead. Do NOT use for SEO analysis -- use seo_audit_page instead. Do NOT use for screenshot capture -- use capture_screenshot instead. Do NOT use for company data -- use company_enrich_from_domain instead.

Web Search API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Web Search API do?
It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: web_search_query. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Web Search API working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 59 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Web Search API as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Web Search API?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Web Search API need an API key?
No. Web Search API completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is Web Search API open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
