**English** | [简体中文](README.zh.md)

A local MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that aggregates **15 web search and extraction tools** across 5 providers (Jina, Tavily, Exa, Firecrawl, Bocha) behind a unified interface. Each tool is gated by both an on/off switch and an API key check — AI agents only see tools they can actually use.

**Status**: v0.2.6 — Production-ready with full test coverage (123 tests, 91% coverage).

## Why MCP Server Metasearch?

Instead of configuring 5 separate MCP servers (one per provider), metasearch gives you a **single unified interface** with:

- **Zero-config tool exposure** — only tools with valid API keys are visible to AI agents
- **Plugin architecture** — add a new provider by dropping one Python file, no framework changes
- **Shared infrastructure** — connection pooling, response caching, and startup diagnostics out of the box
