FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best search API for AI agents?
Searlo is purpose-built for AI agents. It provides sub-second responses (~300ms), MCP protocol support (zero-code integration with Claude/Cursor), TOON format that saves 60% on tokens, and pricing at $0.30/1K queries that scales with multi-agent workflows.
How do I add web search to my CrewAI or LangChain agent?
With Searlo, you create a custom tool that calls the REST API. For CrewAI: extend BaseTool and call api.searlo.tech. For LangChain: create a StructuredTool or use the function-calling pattern. See our Integrations page for full code examples.
What is MCP and how does it work with AI agents?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that lets AI tools access external data sources. Searlo's MCP server lets Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code search the web natively without writing any integration code.
How many searches does an AI agent typically make?
A simple Q&A agent might make 1-3 searches per task. Deep research agents often make 10-50 searches to gather comprehensive information. At Searlo's pricing ($0.30/1K), even 50 searches costs only $0.015 per agent run.
Does Searlo support parallel agent requests?
Yes. Searlo supports high-concurrency workloads with consistent JSON responses. Multi-agent systems running parallel searches won't hit bottlenecks — each request resolves independently in ~300ms.
