You.com MCP Server

You.com's own MCP server. It gives your agent live web search, page content extraction, citation-backed research and finance research through You.com's APIs. It's hosted at https://api.you.com/mcp, and the @youdotcom-oss/mcp package runs it locally over STDIO. What you can do with it - Search the web and news for current information, facts and primary sources (you-search) - Extract the full content of web pages as Markdown or HTML (you-contents) - Run citation-backed research on a question (you-research) - Run finance research (you-finance) - Check your You.com account balance (you-balance) - Discover AI agents, MCP servers and skills (you-discover) How it connects The hosted server at https://api.you.com/mcp offers you-search, you-contents, you-balance and you-discover by default. Agents that support MCP sign-in (OAuth 2.1) connect without a key and sign you in to You.com; for the others, send a You.com API key as an Authorization: Bearer header. Add you-research or you-finance with ?tools= (for example ?tools=you-search,you-finance), or connect to https://api.you.com/mcp/research or https://api.you.com/mcp/finance. To try it without an account, https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free offers you-search and you-discover with no key, up to 100 queries a day. The local package (npx @youdotcom-oss/mcp) needs either YDC_PROFILE=free or a YDC_API_KEY, and it doesn't support OAuth. You.com documents setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Zed, JetBrains IDEs, OpenCode and more. Good to know - you-research and you-finance have no free usage. - API keys come from you.com/platform. - You.com also offers a plugin for Claude Code, Cursor and other coding agents that adds its agent skills alongside these servers.
