Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote search API for assistants: web and news search, cited answers, URL extraction, plus specialist datasets like SEC filings, finance, patents and law.

What you can do
  • Search the live web and news, with country and date filters, and get short cited answers to focused questions
  • Extract clean readable content from URLs
  • Search specialist corpora: SEC filings, US company financials, markets, earnings calendar, economic indicators, prediction markets
  • Search academic papers, clinical trials, drug and chemistry data, patents, UK case law and Hansard, EU MiCA rules, and cybersecurity vulnerability data
  • Run async research over vehicle-safety, short-seller and sanctions datasets, then poll for the cited result
  • Look up WHOIS/RDAP domain records, GLEIF legal entities, EU VAT numbers, and scan dependencies for known vulnerabilities
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs current web or news grounding, sourced answers, or retrieval from regulated and specialist sources such as SEC filings, financial statements, academic literature, patents, legal texts or vulnerability data, without building separate integrations for each.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local install. Requires an API key sent as a bearer token in the Authorization header, obtained from the provider's dashboard. Each call consumes credits from the account balance, and network access to the provider is needed.
Before you install
Every call spends credits, and costs vary widely by tool (from a few credits for URL extraction or vulnerability scans up to 300 for Wiley finance search), so usage can drain a balance quickly. The API key is a billable credential and should be kept private. Queries and submitted URLs or dependency lists are sent to the provider and its upstream data sources.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open API Pick in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect Authorization token credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. 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/com.apipick%2Fapipick/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

Tools

cited_answer

Answer a focused question with a short, cited answer researched live across the web, news, and specialist datasets. Returns Markdown with numbered citations plus the source list. Takes about 15–60 seconds. Best when you want a grounded answer rather than raw search results. Costs 100 credit(s) per call; failed calls are free.

Parametersqueryrequired

extract_urls

Extract clean readable content from URLs. Costs 2 credit(s) per URL.

Parametersurlsrequiredextract_effortresponse_length

start_dataset_research

Start an async research task over a specialist dataset collection: vehicle-safety (NHTSA recalls, complaints, defect investigations, VIN decoding), short-sellers (activist short reports and fund letters), or sanctions (OFAC, UN, UK HMT, Australia DFAT, Swiss SECO, US Consolidated Screening List, INTERPOL Red Notices; a research aid, not compliance screening). Returns a task_id; poll GET /api/research/tasks/{task_id} every few seconds until status is completed (usually 15 seconds to 2.5 minutes). Costs 100 credit(s) per completed task; failed tasks are free.

Parametersqueryrequiredcollectionrequired

get_research_task

Check a dataset research task started with start_dataset_research. Returns its status while it runs (free) and the cited answer once completed; credits are charged once, on the first call that sees it completed. Poll every few seconds.

Parameterstask_idrequired

whois_lookup

Look up registration data for a domain name, IP address, or AS number via RDAP (the successor to WHOIS). Returns registrar, nameservers, DNSSEC status, creation/expiry dates, status codes, and any published contacts. Use for domain due diligence, expiry monitoring, abuse-contact discovery, and IP/ASN ownership checks. Costs 2 credit(s) per call.

Parametersqueryrequired

lei_lookup

Resolve a legal entity through the GLEIF Legal Entity Identifier registry. Look up a known LEI code, or search by legal name to find one. Returns the official legal name, registered and headquarters addresses, jurisdiction, legal form, registration status, national company-register number, and BIC codes — plus optional parent/subsidiary ownership links. Use for counterparty KYC, entity resolution, and corporate-structure research. Provide either lei or name. Costs 3 credit(s) per call.

Parametersleinamelimitcountryinclude_relationships

validate_eu_vat

Validate an EU VAT number against VIES, the European Commission's official VAT registry. Returns whether the number is registered and, where the member state discloses it, the trader's registered name and address. Use for B2B onboarding, reverse-charge invoicing checks, and KYC. Costs 3 credit(s) per call.

Parameterscountryvat_numberrequired

scan_dependencies

Check a list of open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities using OSV.dev. For each package version, returns matching advisories with CVE aliases, a computed CVSS base score, severity rating, CWE ids, and the versions that fix the issue — plus a rollup by severity. Use it to audit a lockfile, gate a release, or answer 'is this version safe to install'. Costs 5 credit(s) per call regardless of package count.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
