Install & config
- Copy the command above
- Paste it as one entry under
mcpServersinclaude_desktop_config.json— local servers take command + args (example: clients) - Restart your client
Remote endpoint (mcpServers - Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf)
{
"mcpServers": {
"desearch-ai-mcp-desearch": {
"url": "https://mcp.desearch.ai/mcp"
}
}
}Paste this into the mcpServers config of Claude Desktop or Cursor. The endpoint comes from public evidence; we do not install or host it. Official Registry record: this endpoint lists the request header x-api-key (Desearch API key. Send this header, or connect with OAuth and paste the key on the Desearch sign-in page. Discovery does not need a key.) but does not mark it required. Whether it works anonymously is for the project docs to say.
VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json - the key is servers, remote needs type: http)
{
"servers": {
"desearch-ai-mcp-desearch": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.desearch.ai/mcp"
}
}
}VS Code differs from the other three: the top-level key is <code>servers</code> and a remote endpoint also needs <code>"type": "http"</code>. Paste into .vscode/mcp.json.
Claude Code (command line)
claude mcp add --transport http desearch-ai-mcp-desearch https://mcp.desearch.ai/mcp
Claude Code does not read a config file; add the server with this command.
Client config (built from the install command this repo gives)
{
"mcpServers": {
"desearch-ai-mcp-desearch": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "desearch-mcp-server"]
}
}
}Parsed from the README we fetched on 2026-10-26; we have not executed it.
command/args come from the install command the repository states. When it is ambiguous, the project README wins.
VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json - the key is servers)
{
"servers": {
"desearch-ai-mcp-desearch": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "desearch-mcp-server"]
}
}
}Same server, but VS Code keeps it under <code>servers</code>.
Claude Code (command line)
claude mcp add --transport stdio desearch-ai-mcp-desearch -- npx -y desearch-mcp-server
Claude Code does not read a config file; add the server with this command.

## Demo
Prompt: Search the web for latest news on AI.
web-search takes query (required) and start (optional pagination offset: 0, 10, 20, ...).
json
"name": "web-search",
"arguments": {
"query": "latest news on AI"
Example output:
json
"data": [
"title": "Example result",
"link": "https://example.com/page",
"snippet": "Short preview text."
The tool returns that JSON as pretty-printed text: { "content": [{ "type": "text", "text": " " }] }.
AI search, X search and web search for AI agents, plus page extraction, X data tools, and People Search (find people and creators on X, YouTube, LinkedIn, and TikTok). Bring your own Desearch API key.
## Tools
The Desearch MCP server includes the following tools.
Lookup tools, including search and fetch, set readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, and openWorldHint: true. people-search starts a paid job billed to the user's Desearch balance, so readOnlyHint is false and destructiveHint is true. people-search-control can cancel a search, so readOnlyHint is false and destructiveHint is true. openWorldHint is true on every tool because the call reaches a live external source.
AI Search (ai-search): Performs AI Twitter and web searches with relevant links and summary. tools uses short source ids (web, twitter, arxiv, wikipedia, hackernews, reddit). Older labels such as Web Search, ArXiv Search, Wikipedia Search, Hacker News Search, and Reddit Search are still accepted and sent as the short id. youtube is not accepted. Default is ["web", "twitter"].
X Search (x-search): Tweet search on X. Arguments: query (required), count (optional, default 20). Sort stays Top. Optional filters: user, startdate, enddate (YYYY-MM-DD), lang, verified, blueverified, isquote, isvideo, isimage, minretweets, minreplies, minlikes.
Search (search): Web search that returns { results: [{ id, title, url }] }. Argument: query (required). id is the result URL.
Fetch Page (fetch): Read a public page as text. Argument: id (required, an http or https URL from search).
Web Search (web-search): SERP-style web search. Arguments: query (required), start (optional pagination offset).
Web Links Search (web-links-search): Web link search. Arguments: prompt (required), tools (optional, only web, default ["web"]; Web Search is accepted and rewritten to web), count (optional, 10–200). The links/web API rejects other sources, so they are not in the enum.
Extract (extract): Read a public URL as text or HTML. Preferred over crawl. Arguments: url (required), format (optional, html or text), js (optional), wait (optional milliseconds).
Web Crawl (web-crawl): Same arguments as extract, on the legacy /web/crawl route. The SDK marks webCrawl deprecated in favor of extract; this tool stays so that route remains reachable. Prefer extract for new integrations.
X Links Search (x-links-search): AI search for X post links. Arguments: prompt (required), count (optional, 10–200).
