Claude can now Google stuff, tell you the news, and do deep web research on any topic
Just released a super early version of an MCP server for web research on Github.
It lets you (from Claude Desktop)...
- Google stuff and visit any webpage + extract the content
- Do deep web research on any topic
- Get latest news, weather, etc.
You can only use it via Claude Desktop currently since MCP support is limited to desktop.
Install it on Mac by adding this to your ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"webresearch": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@mzxrai/mcp-webresearch"]
}
}
}
Just make sure you have npm installed first. Restart Claude Desktop and you should be good to go!
