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!
