Kagi Search

Perform privacy-focused web searches via Kagi's search engine.

Created byApr 22, 2025

kagi-server MCP Server

This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that integrates the Kagi Search API. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing:
  • Tools for performing web searches and other operations using Kagi's API (currently in private beta)

Features

Implemented Tools

  • kagi_search - Perform web searches using Kagi

Planned Tools (Not Yet Implemented)

  • kagi_summarize - Generate summaries of web pages or text
  • kagi_fastgpt - Get quick responses using Kagi's FastGPT
  • kagi_enrich - Fetch enriched news results on specific topics

Development

Install dependencies:
Build the server:
For development with auto-rebuild:

Environment Setup

Create a .env file in the root directory with your Kagi API key:
Make sure to add .env to your .gitignore file to keep your API key secure.

Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install Kagi Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

Usage

Once the server is running and connected to Claude Desktop, you can use it to perform web searches. For example:
  1. Ask Claude: "Can you search for information about the latest advancements in quantum computing?"
  1. Claude will use the kagi_search tool to fetch results from Kagi's API.
  1. Claude will then summarize or analyze the search results for you.
Note: The planned tools (summarize, fastgpt, enrich) are not yet implemented and cannot be used.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please feel free to submit a Pull Request. Some areas for contribution include:
  • Implementing the planned tools (summarize, fastgpt, enrich)
  • Improving error handling and input validation
  • Enhancing documentation and usage examples

Roadmap

  • Implement kagi_summarize tool for webpage and text summarization
  • Implement kagi_fastgpt tool for quick responses
  • Implement kagi_enrich tool for fetching enriched news results
  • Improve error handling and add more robust input validation
  • Add more comprehensive usage examples and documentation
  • Publish the package to npm for easy installation and use with Claude Desktop and npx
