Agentsearch MCP does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 79.4% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

instant

instant_answer

DuckDuckGo Instant Answer API — definitions, entities, and quick facts. Returns a normalized answer with heading, type (abstract/answer/disambiguation), source, sourceUrl, optional image/definition, and relatedTopics, plus a meta envelope. Not a full web SERP; use web_search for that. Works with no API key.

url

fetch_url

Fetches any public http(s) URL, strips boilerplate (scripts, nav, footer, ads), and returns clean text or markdown ready for an LLM context window. SSRF-guarded — refuses private/loopback/internal hosts. Returns url, title, format, length, content (and finalUrl when redirected, plus up to 50 extracted links when links=true), with a meta envelope. Works with no API key.

web

web_search

Search the web via a provider-abstracted backend (Brave or Serper, configured operator-side). Returns normalized results, each with position, title, url, snippet, source, and domain, plus a meta envelope (cache state, provider, took_ms). Returns a provider_required error if no search provider key is configured upstream. Use this for a full web SERP; use instant_answer for quick facts/definitions.

Agentsearch MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Agentsearch MCP do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: fetch_url, instant_answer, web_search. 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 Agentsearch MCP working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 39 of 92 checks got a reply (42.4%), average response time 267 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Agentsearch MCP 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 Agentsearch MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Agentsearch MCP need an API key?

No. Agentsearch MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Agentsearch MCP?

It answers our handshake in 267 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Agentsearch MCP open source?

We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
