MCP Server Directory
Search MCP Servers
Search is the category that makes an agent useful on the open web. It covers search engine APIs, web crawlers, page scrapers, and retrieval services: the plumbing behind research agents, competitive monitoring, and fact checking. If your assistant has ever answered with a link, one of these probably fetched it.
Most servers here wrap a hosted search API, so expect to supply an API key and check the provider's pricing if you lean on it hard. A healthy subset run locally and hit the web directly, which avoids keys but not rate limits.
The live list did not load just now. The full category is still available in search.

Do I need an API key for web search servers?
Usually yes, because most wrap commercial search APIs. The package page names the provider and what a key gets you.
Can an agent crawl an entire site?
Some servers support site crawling with rate controls. Be a polite crawler: respect robots.txt and keep request rates reasonable.
