AI agents need fast, reliable, affordable web search. Here's what makes Searlo the top choice for agentic applications.
Features
Measured Latency
Web search returns in about 1 second at the median and 2.5 seconds at p90, measured on production traffic in September 2026. Budget for that when an agent chains several searches.
MCP Protocol Native
Connect Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code directly. Zero code integration via Model Context Protocol.
TOON Format — 60% Fewer Tokens
AI-optimized output format strips noise, reduces token consumption, and improves agent reasoning.
$0.30 per 1K Searches
Agents often make 10-50 searches per task. At $0.30/1K, that's pennies per agent run.
Built for Multi-Agent
High rate limits, parallel request support, and consistent JSON output for multi-agent workflows.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best search API for AI agents?
Searlo is purpose-built for AI agents. It provides MCP protocol support (zero-code integration with Claude/Cursor), TOON format that saves 60% on tokens, web search at about 1 second median latency, 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. Every account gets the same limits, so multi-agent systems can run searches in parallel; if you expect sustained high volume, tell us your volume first and we will reserve capacity for it. Each request resolves independently, in about 1 second at the median for web search.
