**Give your AI app better web search and clean page reading.** `web-search-plus-mcp` works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, NanoBot, Hermes, and other MCP apps. It searches across the services you choose, returns the original sources, and can try another service when one fails.

Existing MCP tools and setup stay the same. The matching Hermes plugin adds an optional native backend; this MCP package does not need or include that adapter. See the [4.1.1 release notes](docs/RELEASE_4_1_1.md).
