CPA Search MCP Server

CPA Search MCP Server

License: MIT Node.js MCP

English | 中文说明

A lightweight, zero-dependency Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for real-time web search and webpage content extraction.

It seamlessly reuses your existing local CLIProxyAPI (CPA) instance (http://127.0.0.1:8317) and authorized Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Zhipu GLM accounts to perform structured web research for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Trae).


🌟 Key Features

  • Zero Setup & Zero Extra Cost: Directly uses your existing local CPA and Google/Grok/GLM credentials.

  • 🎯 Multi-Engine Support:

    • gemini: Structured research summaries via Google Gemini (fast, strong global tech coverage — model knowledge, not a live crawl).

    • glm: Chinese & local tech research via Zhipu GLM-5.3 (fresher knowledge, deep-reasoning model; slower).

    • grok: xAI Grok knowledge with a real-time bias.

    • duckduckgo: True live-web engine — scrapes DuckDuckGo HTML and automatically falls back to Bing when bot-challenged. No API keys.

    • auto: gemini → glm → live-web automatic failover.

  • 🛡️ Proxy-aware networking: live-web fetches (DuckDuckGo/Bing/fetch_webpage) tunnel through your HTTP proxy via zero-dependency CONNECT, trying CPA_SEARCH_PROXYHTTPS_PROXY/HTTP_PROXY/ALL_PROXYhttp://127.0.0.1:7897 → direct.

  • 🌐 Webpage Content Extraction: Includes a built-in fetch_webpage tool to fetch and strip raw HTML into clean readable text.

  • 🔌 Universal Compatibility: Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Trae, and any standard MCP client.

  • 🚀 Zero Dependencies: Pure Node.js ESM standard library implementation. Instant startup and minimal memory footprint.

📦 Quick Start

1. Register with Claude Code

Run the following command in your terminal:

claude mcp add --scope user cpa-search node "C:/Users/aa182/Documents/Codex/2026-08-22/new-chat-2/repositories/cpa-search-mcp/index.mjs"

Verify status:

claude mcp list

2. Configure for Cursor / Windsurf / Trae / Codex

Add the following to your MCP configuration file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or Cursor MCP settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cpa-search": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "C:/Users/aa182/Documents/Codex/2026-08-22/new-chat-2/repositories/cpa-search-mcp/index.mjs"
      ]
    }
  }
}

🛠️ Provided Tools

1. cpa_search

Search the web for up-to-date facts, documentation, and technical news.

  • Parameters:

    • query (string, required): The search query or research topic.

    • engine (string, optional): gemini | glm | grok | duckduckgo | auto.

2. fetch_webpage

Fetch and extract clean text from any URL.

  • Parameters:

    • url (string, required): The webpage URL (http/https).


⚙️ Environment Variables (Optional)

Description

CPA_BASE_URL

http://127.0.0.1:8317

Local CPA proxy address

CPA_API_KEY

(Built-in Local Key)

CPA authentication key

CPA_SEARCH_MODEL

gemini-3.7-flash-high

Model used by the gemini engine

CPA_GLM_MODEL

glm-5.3-cpa

Model used by the glm engine

CPA_SEARCH_PROXY

(see chain below)

Explicit outbound proxy for live-web fetches; set to an empty string to force direct connection

HTTPS_PROXY

falls back to http://127.0.0.1:7897

Outbound proxy for live-web fetches (HTTPS_PROXY/HTTP_PROXY/ALL_PROXY are honored)

Proxy resolution order for live-web fetches: CPA_SEARCH_PROXYHTTPS_PROXY/HTTP_PROXY/ALL_PROXY → local Clash/mihomo default (http://127.0.0.1:7897) → direct connection. Local addresses (CPA itself) always go direct.

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully convey behavior. It mentions fetching the 'complete main content' and converting to text, but omits any mention of handling dynamic content, authentication, timeouts, or error cases. This is a significant gap for a web-fetching tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence with no unnecessary words. It is concise and gets to the point, though it could slightly benefit from structuring key constraints more explicitly.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool with a single parameter and no output schema, the description should cover potential failure modes and limitations. It lacks any mention of what happens on failure, unsupported URL types, or rate limits. Given the lack of annotations, this is incomplete for safe agent use.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema description coverage is 100%, so the url parameter is already well-documented. The description does not add extra semantic meaning beyond what the schema provides, matching the baseline for high schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'fetch' and the resource 'webpage', and adds that it converts content to readable text. It is specific enough, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with sibling tool cpa_search, which appears to be a different operation.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or exclusions. The description simply states what it does, leaving the agent to infer when it is appropriate.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

B3.4/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

两个工具功能明确分离:cpa_search用于搜索并返回结果,fetch_webpage用于抓取特定URL的内容。没有重叠或模糊边界,代理可以轻松区分何时使用哪个工具。

Naming Consistency4/5

两个工具均使用snake_case,且都包含动作词(search, fetch),但cpa_search以名词cpa开头,而fetch_webpage以动词开头,存在轻微不一致。不过整体模式简单且可预测,不影响理解。

Tool Count3/5

仅2个工具对于搜索服务器而言显得单薄,但结合其功能(搜索+网页抓取)已覆盖核心需求。未超出合理范围,但处于评分的下限。

Completeness4/5

搜索和网页抓取共同构成完成查询-获取详情的基本流程,没有明显缺失的关键操作。但缺少如历史记录、批量处理等扩展功能,仍有小幅度提升空间。
