Web Research MCP — Search, Fetch & Synthesize
An MCP server for AI agents that need to search the web, read pages, and synthesize research — all in a single tool call.
Pay-per-use. No subscription. No idle charges. Powered by Apify Standby.
What it does
Three tools, designed to work together:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
web_search |
Search the web. Returns titles, URLs, and snippets. Uses Brave Search API (if configured) or DuckDuckGo fallback. |
fetch_page |
Fetch any URL and return clean markdown. Strips ads, nav, and boilerplate. Supports article, full-body, or links-only extraction. |
research_topic |
Multi-step research in one call: search → fetch → score relevance → deduplicate → extract key facts → synthesize. |
