The official MCP server forSearch1API— web search, news, page retrieval, sitemap discovery, and trending topics in one API.

No installation required. Configure your MCP client with the remote URL. Use OAuth when the client supports it, or provide an API key.

Three methods are supported — use whichever your client supports:

Prefer OAuth or the Authorization header. Query-parameter credentials can be exposed in URLs, logs, and shell history.

For local testing, copy the plugin files into~/.cursor/plugins/local/search1api(plugin.json,.cursor-plugin/,mcp.json,assets/). Do not symlink from outside that directory — Cursor rejects external symlink targets.

The Agent Skill has moved to search1api-cli. Install it with:

npm install -g search1api-cli npx skills add superagents-lab/search1api-cli

If you prefer to run the server locally, use Node.js 20 or newer with npx — no cloning required:

{ "mcpServers": { "search1api": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "search1api-mcp"], "env": { "SEARCH1API_KEY": "YOUR_SEARCH1API_KEY" } } } }

For self-hosted HTTP deployments behind a proxy, add any internal hostnames that reach the Node.js process to the comma-separatedMCP_ALLOWED_HOSTSenvironment variable.mcp.search1api.comand localhost addresses are allowed by default. Browser-based clients that send anOriginheader must also have their trusted origin hostnames added to the comma-separatedMCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINSvariable. Requests from server-side MCP clients normally omitOriginand do not require an entry.

Search the web using Search1API. Results include a citableid/title/urlstructure. Pass a result URL tocrawlwhen you need the full page.
