Web Research MCP — Search, Fetch & Synthesize

以下摘录自该仓库的 README（片段） · 在 GitHub 读完整 README →

An MCP server for AI agents that need to search the web, read pages, and synthesize research — all in a single tool call.
**Pay-per-use. No subscription. No idle charges.** Powered by Apify Standby.
---
What it does
Three tools, designed to work together:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| web_search | Search the web. Returns titles, URLs, and snippets. Uses Brave Search API (if configured) or DuckDuckGo fallback. |
| fetch_page | Fetch any URL and return clean markdown. Strips ads, nav, and boilerplate. Supports article, full-body, or links-only extraction. |
| research_topic | Multi-step research in one call: search → fetch → score relevance → deduplicate → extract key facts → synthesize. |
---
Quick connect
Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):
Replace YOUR_APIFY_API_TOKEN with your token from apify.com/account/integrations.
**Claude Code:**
**Cursor / Windsurf** — add via Settings > MCP Servers > HTTP URL.
---
Pricing
Pay only for what you use. Charged per tool call.
| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| web_search | $0.003 |
| fetch_page | $0.005 |
| research_topic | $0.025 (single charge, includes all sub-calls) |
---
Brave Search API setup (optional but recommended)
By default the actor uses DuckDuckGo HTML scraping, which works without any key. For better results and freshness filtering:
1. Go to brave.com/search/api and sign up for the free tier (2,000 queries/month)
2. Copy your API key
3. In the actor input, set **Brave Search API Key** (stored as secret — never exposed in logs)
When the key is set, web_search and research_topic will use Brave Search automatically. DuckDuckGo is the fallback on error.

Example tool calls
