The news search MCP server.

Install it in your client

You need a typesearch API key: new accounts get $5 in free credit. Every option below reads it from TYPESEARCH_API_KEY or asks for it once; none of them puts it in this page.

• Cursor

  One click. Cursor reads your key from the TYPESEARCH_API_KEY environment variable; or paste it in mcp.json in place of ${env:TYPESEARCH_API_KEY}.

  Add to Cursor

• VS Code

  One click. VS Code asks for your key once and keeps it as a secret.

  Add to VS Code

• Claude Code

  One command, with TYPESEARCH_API_KEY set in your shell.

  terminalCopy

  claude mcp add --transport http typesearch https://api.typesearch.ai/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $TYPESEARCH_API_KEY"

• Codex

  Codex reads the key from TYPESEARCH_API_KEY on every call.

  terminalCopy

  codex mcp add typesearch --url https://api.typesearch.ai/mcp --bearer-token-env-var TYPESEARCH_API_KEY

• Claude Desktop

  Add it to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit config), with your key, and restart Claude. This connects to the remote server through mcp-remote.

        ],
        "env": {
          "TYPESEARCH_AUTH": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
        }
      }
    }
  }

• Windsurf

  Add it to mcp_config.json. Windsurf reads your key from TYPESEARCH_API_KEY.

  mcp_config.jsonCopy

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "typesearch": {
        "serverUrl": "https://api.typesearch.ai/mcp",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:TYPESEARCH_API_KEY}"
        }
      }
    }
  }

• Clients that only take a URL

  Put your key in the query string. We strip it from our logs and error messages.
