Web Search in Claude Code and Cursor

Both clients can connect to Gyaansetu's remote MCP server at https://web-search.gyaansetu.com/mcp. Use a Gyaansetu API Key that starts with gs-. Send it in the Authorization: Bearer header; a client that cannot set headers can use ?apiKey= in the server URL instead.

Claude Code

Run the same HTTP setup command used in the app's setup examples, replacing the placeholder with your complete API Key:

claude mcp add --transport http gyaansetu https://web-search.gyaansetu.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_GYAANSETU_API_KEY"

Cursor

Add this server entry to .cursor/mcp.json or Cursor's MCP settings. Replace the placeholder with the complete API Key, including its gs- prefix:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gyaansetu": {
      "url": "https://web-search.gyaansetu.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_GYAANSETU_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

If the client cannot send a header, append ?apiKey=gs-YOUR_GYAANSETU_API_KEY to the MCP URL instead. The API Key is a secret; do not commit a real one to your configuration file.

Available tools

The server exposes two tools:

  • gyaansetu_search searches the web and returns ranked Results.
  • gyaansetu_extract returns Raw Content for URLs you already have.

The MCP connection authenticates once with the API Key. Both tools then use the same Account Quota and Credit Balance as HTTP requests.
