MCP SERVER

ContextWire

by keptlive

A hosted search endpoint for agents — factual answers with sources, web search across 105 engines with 14 profiles, page extraction and academic lookup, on a free tier of 1,000 queries a month.

Web Search Engines
Summary
Profiles are the feature, not the engine count.

Searching 105 engines at once mostly produces noise; naming the profile is what makes the result usable — a package search that looks at npm, PyPI and crates.io answers a different question than a general web search over the same words. The project reports 94.3% on the SimpleQA benchmark, which is a claim you can check against the comparison page it links.

What it is

A hosted MCP server for research. There is nothing to run: point your client at the URL and the assistant gains a question-answering path, a broad web search, a page-to-markdown extractor, and academic paper search. Search is fanned across many engines rather than routed to one.

What you get
  • A factual question answered with its sources attached, rather than a link list to read yourself
  • Web search across 105 engines, narrowed by one of 14 profiles — general, news, academic, programming, developer news, finance, code repositories, packages, security advisories, social, reference, images, video, or all engines at once
  • Clean text or markdown extracted from any URL
  • Academic search over arXiv, PubMed and Semantic Scholar
  • Several searches issued in parallel when one query is not enough
  • The same capabilities over plain HTTP at `https://contextwire.dev/api/ask`, `/api/search` and `/api/extract`, and through the `@contextwire/sdk` package
Requirements

An API key from contextwire.dev; the free tier is 1,000 queries a month with no credit card. Nothing to install — add `https://contextwire.dev/mcp` as the server URL in your client config. The HTTP API takes the key as `Authorization: Bearer`. You can bring your own LLM key to spend fewer credits. MIT.

Setup effort

One command — npx -y mcp-remote https://contextwire.dev/mcp
