# kagi-server MCP Server
[](https://smithery.ai/protocol/kagi-server)
MCP server for Kagi API integration
This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that integrates the Kagi Search API. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing:
- Tools for performing web searches and other operations using Kagi's API (currently in private beta)
## Features
### Implemented Tools
- `kagi_search` - Perform web searches using Kagi
- Takes a query string and optional limit as parameters
- Returns search results from Kagi's API
### Planned Tools (Not Yet Implemented)
- `kagi_summarize` - Generate summaries of web pages or text
- `kagi_fastgpt` - Get quick responses using Kagi's FastGPT
- `kagi_enrich` - Fetch enriched news results on specific topics
## Development
Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
Build the server:
```bash
npm run build
```
For development with auto-rebuild:
```bash
npm run watch
```
## Environment Setup
Create a `.env` file in the root directory with your Kagi API key:
```
KAGI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```
Make sure to add `.env` to your `.gitignore` file to keep your API key secure.
## Installation
### Installing via Smithery
To install Kagi Server for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/protocol/kagi-server):
```bash
npx @smithery/cli install kagi-server --client claude
```
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"kagi-server": {
"command": "/path/to/kagi-server/build/index.js",
"env": {
"KAGI_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
```
### Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector), which is available as a package script:
```bash
npm run inspector
```
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
## Usage
Once the server is running and connected to Claude Desktop, you can use it to perform web searches. For example:
1. Ask Claude: "Can you search for information about the latest advancements in quantum computing?"
2. Claude will use the `kagi_search` tool to fetch results from Kagi's API.
3. Claude will then summarize or analyze the search results for you.
Note: The planned tools (summarize, fastgpt, enrich) are not yet implemented and cannot be used.
