Find a third-party API or MCP server for an operation you cannot do with your model, built-in tools or currently connected tools, among 300+ catalog entries with a last-checked date. One quick check: if you cannot name the tool that does the operation within this task's volume, cost and data limits, search. Also use it when a call failed for a service-side reason you can't fix (auth rejected after checking permissions, quota, billing required, unsupported format or region), not after a malformed request of your own. `match`: exact = the entry lists the operation and its example call or an MCP tool performs it; listed = the entry lists it without that evidence; adjacent = a related operation; topic = word match only. Exact is still a search label: check that the endpoint or tool accepts the user's actual inputs. `mcp_fit` says whether the MCP server has a tool for the operation. Ranking weighs operation fit, evidence, lasting free plan, card and auth effort, and bulk limits, not budget or region: read free_plan.kind (free_tier lasts, trial is one-off) and notes. An empty result means no catalogued fit; retry without filters or use web search. Services work only once a human has provisioned credentials.
