Use when verifying, using, or troubleshooting the anonymous Parallel Search MCP server bundled with this plugin — when the user installs the plugin, says "set up Parallel Search", "Parallel search isn't working", hits 429 rate limits from Parallel, or asks how to get higher limits. Also covers how to use the web_search and web_fetch tools the bundled server provides. For an authenticated gateway deployment use parallel-mcp-setup; for the CLI-backed skills use parallel-cli-setup.
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
# Parallel Search — setup and usage This plugin bundles one remote MCP server, `parallel-search`, at `https://search.parallel.ai/mcp`. It is anonymous and needs no setup: no API key, no OAuth, no environment variables, no `parallel-cli`. It provides two tools: - `web_search` — ranked results with answer-ready excerpts - `web_fetch` — token-efficient markdown for specific URLs The plugin's other skills are CLI-backed and do require `parallel-cli` to be installed, authenticated, and funded. Those are a separate concern; see `parallel-cli-setup`. Nothing in this skill depends on the CLI. ## Skills-only installation Installing with `parallel-cli skills install` or Codex's skill installer does not register the MCP server. Before verification, check the current client's registered servers. If absent, add the anonymous endpoint to that client: - **Claude Code:** `claude mcp add --scope user --transport http parallel-search https://search.parallel.ai/mcp` - **Codex:** `codex mcp add parallel-search --url https://search.parallel.ai/mcp` - **Other clients:** register `https://search.parallel.ai/mcp` with Streamable HTTP transport and no authorization header. …

How to install
mdr add parallel-web/parallel-agent-skills/parallel-search-setup@sha256:cbc997bcd00a739bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.b8f121b, 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.
