A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides search, news, crawl, sitemap, reasoning and trending tools powered by Search1API.
https://github.com/fatwang2/search1api-mcpStop switching between browser tabs and AI chats. The search1api-mcp server turns any MCP-compatible AI tool into a research powerhouse with live web search, content crawling, and intelligent reasoning capabilities.
You know the drill: ask Claude something current, get told "I don't have access to recent information," then manually search, copy-paste results, and repeat. This MCP server eliminates that entire dance.
Instead of context-switching between tools, your AI can now:
Search Tool: Multi-platform search with intelligent result filtering. Want to research React performance optimizations? Search GitHub repositories, exclude Stack Overflow noise, and crawl the top 3 results for full implementation details—all in one command.
News Tool: Stay current without leaving your AI conversation. Pull latest developments in your tech stack, filter by timeframe, and get full article content automatically crawled.
Crawl Tool: Turn any URL into structured content your AI can analyze. No more "here's a link" followed by manual copy-pasting.
Sitemap Tool: Discover related resources from any domain. Perfect for competitive research or finding comprehensive documentation sets.
Reasoning Tool: The standout feature—combine DeepSeek R1's reasoning capabilities with live web search. Ask complex questions that require both deep thinking and current information.
Trending Tool: Keep your finger on the pulse of what's hot in development. Auto-pull trending GitHub repos or Hacker News discussions.
Technical Research: "Compare the latest approaches to React state management, focusing on solutions released in the past 6 months." The AI searches recent GitHub repos, crawls documentation, and provides comprehensive analysis with current examples.
Competitive Analysis: "What are our competitors implementing for user onboarding?" Generate sitemaps of competitor sites, crawl their key pages, and get structured insights without manual reconnaissance.
Problem Solving: "Why is my Next.js build failing with this specific error?" The reasoning tool combines web search for similar issues with deep analysis of potential solutions.
Content Creation: "What's the current state of AI tooling for developers?" Pull trending discussions from multiple platforms and synthesize comprehensive, up-to-date content.
Claude Desktop: Add to your MCP configuration and start using immediately. No complex setup.
Cursor/Windsurf: Perfect for research-driven coding sessions. Your AI can now fact-check implementation approaches and find current examples.
LibreChat: Full Docker integration guide included. Your team gets shared access to enhanced AI capabilities.
Custom Applications: Standard MCP protocol means it works with any MCP-compatible client you're building.
git clone https://github.com/fatwang2/search1api-mcp.git
cd search1api-mcp
echo "SEARCH1API_KEY=your_api_key" > .env
npm install && npm run build && npm start
Get your Search1API key from their dashboard, configure your MCP client, and you're running live web searches through your AI tools.
The 140 stars and active development show this isn't experimental—it's a production-ready tool that developers are already using to eliminate research friction from their AI workflows.
Your AI conversations just got a direct line to the entire web. Try it for research tasks you'd normally handle manually and watch your productivity compound.
