Kindly Web Search MCP Server

What Kindly Web Search MCP Server does

Kindly Web Search is an MCP server for AI coding tools and agents. The authors argue that most web search MCP servers only wrap a search API and return a title, URL and snippet, which forces the assistant to make a second call to scrape the page and often returns incomplete or noisy content. The README says the goal is to deliver the conversation: a GitHub issue with its comments, a StackOverflow thread with upvoted answers, or the body of an arXiv paper.

It supports Serper, Tavily and SearXNG as search providers. Its description lists Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Gemini among coding tools and Claude Desktop, OpenClaw and Hermes among agents, and the repository is tagged hermes and hermes-agent. It is one component of the Shelpuk AI Technology Consulting agentic suite, alongside the tdd skill, Serena and Lad MCP Server.
