FAQ
What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
MCP is an open standard created by Anthropic that lets AI applications connect to external data sources and tools. It provides a unified way for AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot to use tools like web search without custom integrations.
Which AI clients support MCP?
Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Continue.dev, Cline, and any application that supports the MCP Streamable HTTP transport. The ecosystem is growing rapidly.
How much does it cost?
web_search costs 1 credit per call — the same price as a regular REST API search. All account tools (check_balance, get_usage_stats, get_search_history, get_search_stats, get_transaction_history, list_api_keys) are completely free. You get 3,000 free credits when you sign up, no credit card required.
Can I use my existing API key?
Yes. The MCP server uses the same X-API-Key authentication as the REST API. Any API key with search permissions works. Create or manage keys at dashboard.searlo.tech/api-keys.
What tools are available?
7 tools are available: web_search (Google search, 1 credit), check_balance (credit balance, free), get_usage_stats (usage analytics, free), get_search_history (past searches, free), get_search_stats (search analytics, free), get_transaction_history (credit transactions, free), and list_api_keys (your API keys, free). More search tools are coming soon.
How do I set it up?
Three steps: sign up, create an API key, and paste the config JSON into your AI client's MCP settings. Setup takes under 2 minutes. See the Quick Setup section above for copy-paste configs.
