What is it?

AnySearch MCP Server is a hosted-endpoint Model Context Protocol server that lets AI clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and Codex run live web searches. It offers general natural-language web search, structured vertical searches across domains such as finance, academic, security, legal and code, and a batch tool that runs up to five independent queries in one call.

The server also includes an extract tool that fetches a URL and returns its full HTML page content as Markdown, truncated at 50,000 characters. Vertical searches are routed through a directory tool that lists valid sub-domains and their parameter schemas, so agents can build correct queries.

The endpoint is served over Streamable HTTP at api.anysearch.com/mcp. An API key is optional; without one, requests use anonymous access with lower rate limits. The repository includes configuration examples for OpenCode, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Cline, Codex, Antigravity, DeepSeek Harness, Hermes Agent and OMP.

Key features

  • 01General natural-language web search with up to 10 results per query.
  • 02Vertical domain search with sub-domain routing for finance, academic, security, legal and code.
  • 03Batch search that runs 1 to 5 independent queries in parallel.
  • 04Full-page URL extraction to Markdown for HTML pages.
  • 05Works anonymously, with an optional API key for higher rate limits.
  • 06Connects directly over Streamable HTTP without an SSE or stdio proxy.

Use cases

  • Giving a coding agent live web access for looking up current documentation or error messages.
  • Running several related searches at once to compare sources in a research workflow.
  • Pulling finance or academic results through structured vertical queries instead of generic search.
  • Converting a specific web article into Markdown for an agent to read and summarize.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Get an optional API key at anysearch.com (anonymous access also works with lower rate limits)

  2. 2

    Set the ANYSEARCH_API_KEY environment variable and add the server to Claude Code

    claude mcp add --transport http anysearch https://api.anysearch.com/mcp --scope user --header 'Authorization: Bearer ${ANYSEARCH_API_KEY}' --header 'X-Anysearch-Client: mcp/1.0.0'
  3. 3

    Verify that the anysearch server is listed

    claude mcp list

Things to know

  • The README describes a hosted endpoint at api.anysearch.com, so it requires internet access and does not document self-hosting.
  • Anonymous access has lower rate limits, and an API key is recommended for regular use.
  • Automatic key registration requires a real, reachable email address.
