Search the live web and read URLs through the You.com MCP server. Use when you need current information beyond training data: recent releases, docs, pricing, news, or any question where facts may have changed. Two endpoints: keyless basic search at https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free, or full tools with an API key from https://you.com/platform/api-keys.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# You.com Web Search
Current web search and URL content extraction for Claude Code via the You.com MCP server.
## Setup
The MCP server is remote — no local install, just one config entry.
**Option A — keyless (basic search):**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"you": {
"url": "https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free"
}
}
}
```
This profile exposes `you-search` only. It's capped at 100 queries/day — fine for casual lookups; use an API key for heavier use.
**Option B — full tools (API key):**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"you": {
"url": "https://api.you.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ${YDC_API_KEY}"
}
}
}
}
```
Get a key at [you.com/platform/api-keys](https://you.com/platform/api-keys) and set `YDC_API_KEY` in your environment.
## Tools
The two endpoints expose different tools — check which setup you're on:
**Keyless (`?profile=free`):**
- `you-search` — web search returning ranked results with URLs and snippets
- No `you-contents`: snippets are all you get on this profile, so quote them carefully and cite the URLs
**Authenticated (API key):**

How to install
mdr add davepoon/buildwithclaude/you-web-search@sha256:ce802f44b97c9963The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.51cb4d5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
