Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted web search MCP server that returns ranked results with page passages already extracted, plus clean markdown extraction of any URL.

What you can do
Search the live web with ranked results, filters for domains, recency and topic, and an optional grounded answer whose quotes are checked against sources. Fetch one or more URLs and get their main content as clean markdown or text, with PDFs converted to text. Narrow extracted pages to the passages relevant to a query.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs current web information with the page content included, so a follow-up fetch is usually unnecessary, or when you want to turn specific URLs or PDFs into clean text for reading and citation.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; nothing to install locally. An Authorization header with a Bearer API key is required; a free key with 1,000 monthly credits can be created with an unauthenticated request, no signup or card. Network access to the hosted service.
Before you install
The API key is sent in the Authorization header, so keep it out of shared configs. Usage is metered in credits: advanced search and grounded answers cost more, and extraction costs one credit per page; paid tiers exist beyond the free monthly allowance. Searches and fetched URLs are sent to a third-party service, and results inherit upstream engine coverage and freshness.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open 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/com.neurobird%2Fsearch/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

README

Neurobird Search MCP server

[MCP Registry] [Glama score] [Smithery] [MPPscan] [Transport] [License]

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.

bash
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:

bash
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.

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.

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.
