iFlow Search runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 34 installs a week from npm. Last commit 6 Jun 2026.
MCP server for iFlow Search web search, image search, and URL fetch tools.
Today is the operative word: we check iFlow Search every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
IFLOW_API_KEY (Bearer token for the iFlow Search API. Obtain one at https://platform.iflow.cn.), IFLOW_MCP_CLIENT (Optional MCP client slug forwarded to iFlow as the IFlow-MCP-Client header. Matches /^[a-z0-9._-]{1,64}$/.), IFLOW_MCP_CLIENT_VERSION (Optional MCP client version forwarded to iFlow as the IFlow-MCP-Client-Version header. Only honored when IFLOW_MCP_CLIENT is also set.), IFLOW_BASE_URL (Optional override for the iFlow Search API base URL. Defaults to https://platform.iflow.cn.).
