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

serp
serp
Web search results (SERP). Keyless web search returning ranked title, URL, and snippet for a query — with locale/region targeting, freshness filters (past day, week, month, year), pagination, a news mode that adds publish date and source, and selectable backend engine (auto rotation, or pin Brave, Yahoo, or Yandex). [$0.05/call]. Params — q: search query; num_results: max results, cap 25; region: locale, e.g. us-en, uk-en, de-de; timelimit: restrict to past day/week/month/year (d|w|m|y); safesearch: string (on|moderate|off); page: result page (pagination); mode: web results or recent news (news adds date+source per item). the news index is narrow, so a long or highly specific news query that matches nothing falls through to web rather than returning empty; those items carry requestedMode=news and servedBy=web (web|news); engine: search backend: auto (recommended - rotates engines and falls back on blocks) or pin one of yahoo, yandex (web mode); news mode supports bing. when set, each result carries an 'engine' field; if the pinned engine returns nothing, auto serves instead and results also carry 'requestedEngine' Example params: {'q': 'best python web scraping library', 'num_results': 10}
serp_batch
Bulk web search: up to 5 search queries in a single call, each returning ranked title, URL, and snippet, with the same locale, freshness, and news filters as the single-query web search. One paid call instead of five for research fan-out. [$0.10/call]. Params — queries: up to 5 search queries separated by '|'; num_results: max results per query, cap 25; region: locale, e.g. us-en, uk-en, de-de; timelimit: restrict to past day/week/month/year (d|w|m|y); safesearch: string (on|moderate|off); mode: string (web|news); engine: search backend: auto (recommended) or yahoo/yandex (web); bing (news) Example params: {'queries': 'python asyncio tutorial|rust tokio tutorial'}
serp_multi
Multi-engine web search (metasearch). One search query fanned out across 2-3 search engines (Brave, Yahoo, Yandex) with results deduplicated by URL and merged by reciprocal-rank fusion: consensus ranking across engines instead of one engine's bias, with per-engine rank attribution on every result. [$0.05/call]. Params — q: search query; engines: comma list of 2-3 engines: yahoo, yandex (web mode). news mode has a single live engine (bing), so multi-engine is web-only; num_results: max results per engine, cap 25; region: locale, e.g. us-en, uk-en, de-de; timelimit: restrict to past day/week/month/year (d|w|m|y); safesearch: string (on|moderate|off); mode: string (web|news) Example params: {'q': 'best vector database 2026', 'engines': 'yahoo,yandex'}
serp_read
Web search plus page reading in one call: answer with sources. Runs a web search, scrapes the top results, and returns the ranked search results together with each page's content as clean LLM-ready markdown, so an agent gets the SERP AND the underlying text without a second round of scrape calls. Per-page fetch errors are reported honestly per URL. [$0.08/call]. Params — q: search query; fetch_top: how many top results to fetch and extract, cap 5; maxChars: max markdown chars per fetched page; num_results: ranked results to return, cap 25; region: locale, e.g. us-en, uk-en, de-de; timelimit: restrict to past day/week/month/year (d|w|m|y); safesearch: string (on|moderate|off); mode: string (web|news); engine: search backend: auto (recommended) or yahoo/yandex (web); bing (news) Example params: {'q': 'how does x402 payment protocol work', 'fetch_top': 3}

Web Search & Data API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Web Search & Data API do?
It exposes 23 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: author_search, congress_trades, cve, dns_propagation, domain_info, geocode and 17 more. 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 →
What is Web Search & Data API mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around serp, related and paper. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Web Search & Data API working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 93 of 93 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1349 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Web Search & Data 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 & Data API need an API key?
No. Web Search & Data API completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 23 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Web Search & Data API?
It answers our handshake in 1349 ms on average, which is faster than 2% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
