Schema Quality & AI Usability68
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass

Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 23 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass

Install

How do I install the Web Search & Data API MCP server?

Web Search & Data API is a hosted endpoint at https://api.kadec0.xyz/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

serp ~306

Web search results (SERP). Keyless web search returning ranked title, URL, and snippet for a query — with locale/region targeting, freshness filters (past day, week, month, year), pagination, a news mode that adds publish date and source, and selectable backend engine (auto rotation, or pin Brave, Yahoo, or Yandex).

serp_multi ~222

Multi-engine web search (metasearch).

[$0.05/call]. Params — q: search query; engines: comma list of 2-3 engines: yahoo, yandex (web mode). news mode has a single live engine (bing), so multi-engine is web-only; num_results: max results per engine, cap 25; region: locale, e.g. us-en, uk-en, de-de; timelimit: restrict to past day/week/month/year (d|w|m|y); safesearch: string (on|moderate|off); mode: string (web|news) Example params: {'q': 'best vector database 2026', 'engines': 'yahoo,yandex'}

For keyword trend analysis, search demand seasonality, and SEO keyword research. [$0.05/call]. Params — keyword: the search term to chart; geo: ISO-3166 alpha-2 country code, e.g. US, GB, DE, JP (213 countries supported); omit for worldwide; timeframe: time window.

Web Search & Data API is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as xyz.kadec0/web-search-data-api. Web search, scraping, Google Trends and data lookups. Paid per call in USDC on Base via x402. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.kadec0.xyz/mcp).

Is the Web Search & Data API MCP server safe to use?

Web Search & Data API scores 66 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Web Search & Data API MCP server expose?

Web Search & Data API exposes 23 tools: serp, serp_batch, serp_multi, serp_read, scrape, and 18 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,937 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Web Search & Data API MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Web Search & Data API without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the Web Search & Data API MCP server still maintained?

Web Search & Data API is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
