Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Search every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

extract_url

Fetch one or more URLs and return their main content as clean markdown, with navigation, ads and boilerplate removed. Pass a query to get only the passages of each page relevant to it.

web

web_search

Search the live web and get ranked results with the relevant passages already extracted from each page. Use search_depth 'advanced' for research questions, 'basic' for a quick lookup. Set include_answer to get a grounded summary whose quotes are checked against their sources.

Search — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Search do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: extract_url, 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 Search working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 162 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Search?

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 Search need an API key?

No. Search completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Search?

It answers our handshake in 162 ms on average, which is faster than 78% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Search open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence 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.
