Features

  • 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.
