# Claude Web Search MCP Server This MCP (Model Context Protocol) server provides web search capabilities using the Claude API. It allows LLMs to access up-to-date information from the web through a standardized interface. ## Features - Web search tool using Claude's web search API - Support for domain filtering (allowed and blocked domains) - Configurable maximum results per search - Automatic configuration from Claude Desktop config file ## Prerequisites - Node.js 18 or higher - An Anthropic API key with web search enabled - Claude Desktop app for testing ## Installation & Setup 1. **Clone the repository:** ```bash git clone https://github.com/Doriandarko/claude-search-mcp.git cd claude-search-mcp ``` 2. **Install dependencies:** ```bash npm install ``` 3. **Build the server:** ```bash npm run build ``` This compiles the TypeScript code and makes the server executable. 4. **Link the server for global access:** ```bash npm link ``` This makes the `mcp-server-claude-search` command available system-wide, allowing the Claude Desktop app to find it. ## Running the Server with Claude Desktop App Once the server is installed and linked, the Claude Desktop app can manage it automatically if configured correctly. 1. **Configure Claude Desktop App:** Open your Claude Desktop app's MCP server configuration file (usually `claude_desktop_config.json`). Add or update the entry for this server: ```json { "mcpServers": { // ... other servers ... "claude-search": { "command": "mcp-server-claude-search", "env": { "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_HERE" } } // ... other servers ... } } ``` Replace `"YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_HERE"` with your actual Anthropic API key. The server will also attempt to read this key from `~/code/claude-search-mcp/claude_desktop_config.json` if the `env` variable is not set here, but it's good practice to define it per-server in the main config. 2. **Launch Claude Desktop App:** Start (or restart) your Claude Desktop application. It should now be able to find and launch the `mcp-server-claude-search` when needed. 3. **Use Web Search:** You can now use web search capabilities in your conversations with Claude. ## Manual Server Execution (for testing/development) If you want to run the server manually for testing or development purposes (outside of the Claude Desktop app management): - **Using the globally linked command:** ```bash mcp-server-claude-search ``` - **Directly with tsx (for development with auto-restart):** ```bash npm run dev ``` - **Running the compiled code directly:** ```bash npm start ``` ## Web Search Tool Parameters The web search tool supports the following parameters when called by an LLM: - `query` (required): The search query string. - `maxResults` (optional): Maximum number of search results to return (default: 5). - `allowedDomains` (optional): Array of domains to include in search results (e.g., `["example.com", "wikipedia.org"]`). - `blockedDomains` (optional): Array of domains to exclude from search results. ## License MIT
