Overview

AI-generated overview

Keenable MCP gives an assistant live web search and clean-markdown page fetching over the Keenable web index, hosted or via an npm bridge.

What you can do
  • Search the live web with query, site, date and point-in-time filters, result count and snippet length controls
  • Fetch a URL and get the page back as clean markdown, optionally limited to a prompt-driven extract
  • Run several narrow searches in parallel for broad research questions
  • Optionally use a session ID and output format settings across calls
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs current web results, documentation, news, prices or facts after its training cutoff, and when snippets are not enough and the exact page wording is needed.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at api.keenable.ai over Streamable HTTP, or Node.js with npx for the @keenable/mcp stdio bridge. No account is required: it is keyless by default at 1,000 requests per hour. An optional key can be supplied as the KEENABLE_API_KEY environment variable or the X-API-Key header to lift the cap.
Before you install
Search queries and fetched URLs are sent to Keenable's hosted service. The API key is optional but is a secret; keep it in the environment variable or header rather than in shared config. The stdio wrapper forwards all traffic to the hosted endpoint, so the local package does not make it offline.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Keenable Web Search in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.keenable%2Fweb-search/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

Keenable MCP

MCP server for live web search and clean-markdown page fetch over the Keenable web index.

  • Hosted endpoint: https://api.keenable.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
  • Tools: search_web_pages, fetch_page_content
  • Keyless by default (1,000 requests/hour). An optional API key lifts the cap.

The server is hosted, so most clients just point at the URL. For clients (or config paths) that only accept a stdio command there is a thin npm wrapper (@keenable/mcp) that bridges to the same endpoint.

Tools

ToolDescription
search_web_pagesLive web search. Args: query (required), plus optional mode (pro or realtime), site, published_after / published_before, acquired_after / acquired_before, query_time (point-in-time upper bound, not a recency filter), max_results (1-50), snippet_max_length (180-10000), session_id, output_format, disable_cards (plain web pages instead of Keenable-written cards).
fetch_page_contentFetch a URL and return clean markdown. Args: url (required), optional max_chars (default 50000), live, prompt (extract only what you ask for), session_id, output_format.

Use it

Remote (recommended)

Clients with remote MCP support — Cursor, Cline, VS Code, and Claude Desktop's Custom Connectors UI — connect to the URL directly:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "keenable": {      "type": "streamable-http",      "url": "https://api.keenable.ai/mcp"    }  }}

Stdio (e.g. Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json)

For clients or config paths that only accept a stdio command, run the wrapper with npx:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "keenable": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@keenable/mcp"]    }  }}

That is all you need for keyless use.

API key (optional)

Keenable is keyless by default. To lift the hourly rate limit, pass a key.

Remote:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "keenable": {      "type": "streamable-http",      "url": "https://api.keenable.ai/mcp",      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_KEY" }    }  }}

Stdio:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "keenable": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@keenable/mcp"],      "env": { "KEENABLE_API_KEY": "YOUR_KEY" }    }  }}

How the wrapper works

@keenable/mcp is a small stdio bridge: it connects to the hosted server over Streamable HTTP and forwards every tool the server exposes. There is no search logic in this package; the index and tools live behind https://api.keenable.ai/mcp. Environment variables:

  • KEENABLE_API_KEY — optional API key, sent as X-API-Key.
  • KEENABLE_MCP_URL — override the endpoint (defaults to https://api.keenable.ai/mcp?keenable_title=npm).

Development

sh
npm installnpm test

npm test runs the unit tests and a stdio smoke test of the discovery build (src/discovery.js): initialize must advertise the server metadata and tools/list must return both tools. CI runs it on Node 18, 20 and 22 and on the oldest MCP SDK the package accepts.

Releasing

The npm version lives only in package.json; the bridge reads it at runtime. server.json (the MCP Registry manifest) must repeat it as a literal in packages[].version, so bump both. npm run check:version compares them and runs automatically before npm publish. The top-level server.json version is the registry entry's own version and is bumped whenever server.json changes.
