Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Web search for AI agents. Ranked results with page passages already extracted, plus URL to markdown.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Search & AI memory
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http search https://search.neurobird.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "search": {
      "url": "https://search.neurobird.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "search": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://search.neurobird.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret HTTP header
    Bearer . Create one free with POST https://search.neurobird.com/keys

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Compared with others in Search & AI memoryi

  • More stars than 0% of the other 5652 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 36% of the other 5652 servers in this category
  • Basic checks equal to or better than 100% of the other 5652 servers in this category

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.

Common questions

Is Search safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

Neurobird Search MCP server

A hosted Model Context Protocol server that gives an AI agent web search with the page content already extracted, plus clean markdown extraction of any URL.

There is nothing to install and nothing to run locally. The server is hosted at https://search.neurobird.com/mcp over the streamable HTTP transport.

claude mcp add --transport http neurobird-search \

https://search.neurobird.com/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $NEUROBIRD_KEY"

Get a key with one unauthenticated request. No signup form, no email, no card:

curl -X POST https://search.neurobird.com/keys

Every key carries 1,000 free credits a month.

Tools

web_search

Search the live web and get ranked results with the relevant passages already extracted from each page, so a follow up fetch is usually unnecessary.

ParameterTypeDefaultNotes
querystringrequiredThe search query.
search_depthbasic \standard \advancedstandardadvanced expands the query and reads more pages.
max_resultsinteger61 to 20.
include_answerbooleantrueA grounded answer written only from retrieved passages.
include_domainsstring[]Only return results from these domains.
exclude_domainsstring[]
daysintegerRestrict to the last N days.
topicgeneral \news \code \science \financegeneral
extract_url

Fetch one or more URLs and return their main content as clean markdown, with navigation, adverts and boilerplate removed. PDFs are converted to text.

ParameterTypeNotes
urlsstring[]Required.
querystringTrims each page to the passages relevant to it.
formatmarkdown \textDefault markdown.

Other MCP clients

The same URL works in any client that supports the streamable HTTP transport.

{

"mcpServers": { "neurobird-search": { "type": "http", "url": "https://search.neurobird.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer nbs-..." } } } }

Tested with Claude Code. Cursor, Windsurf, Zed and the Claude desktop app all accept a streamable HTTP MCP server in this shape.

What makes the results different

  • Page passages, not snippets. Each result carries the part of the page that answers the query, extracted from the live page, at no extra credit.
  • Quotes checked against the source. When an answer is requested, every supporting quote is matched back against the extracted source text. A quote that fails is returned marked unverified rather than silently dropped, so an agent can audit a claim instead of trusting it.
  • Rank fusion across engines. Results are fused from several engines with reciprocal rank fusion, so agreement between independent rankings drives the ordering.
  • Per stage timings in every response, so latency can be attributed from outside.

Pricing

Credits: basic or standard search 1, advanced search 2, grounded answer +1, extract_url 1 per page.

Honest limits

  • Median latency on the current single server deployment is about 15 seconds basic, 22 seconds standard and 28 seconds advanced. Upstream engines and the answer model account for nearly all of it. The HTTP streaming endpoint returns ranked links at about 5 seconds.
  • There is no index of our own. Coverage and freshness inherit from upstream engines.
  • Retrieval capacity, not code, is the scaling limit today.
