AutoSearch is an MCP server that gives your AI agent access to 40 real search channels: academic databases, developer platforms, Chinese social media, and Linux DO forum coverage. Every result is cited and deduplicated. No hallucination. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.

​
Install

npx autosearch-ai
init auto-detects your LLM providers and registers AutoSearch with your MCP-capable AI clients automatically. For Claude Code that uses claude mcp add (writing to ~/.claude.json); for Cursor / Zed it writes to the per-client MCP config file.

​
What you get

40 Search Channels

arxiv, PubMed, GitHub, Hacker News, Reddit, Linux DO, Xiaohongshu, Weibo, Twitter, Douyin, and more — English and Chinese, free and paid tiers.

22 MCP Tools

Quick example

Once AutoSearch is running as your MCP server, your agent can do: 
run_clarify("latest transformer architectures for long-context 2026")
→ delegate_subtask(["arxiv", "papers", "hackernews"], query)
