Use the Parallel CLI for web data work: URL extraction, deep research, data enrichment, entity discovery (findall), memory recall, and web monitoring. Web search goes to the parallel-search MCP server (free); escalate to `parallel-cli search` only when MCP is insufficient. Use for deep research, exhaustive investigation, extracting full content from URLs, enriching lists, finding entities, recalling prior runs, tracking web changes, and CLI setup/auth/balance.
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 CLI One interface for Parallel web data work: extract, deep research, enrichment, findall, memory, and monitor. CLI-backed workflows require `parallel-cli` installed, authenticated, and funded; the search routing below avoids the CLI where possible. ## Routing: MCP first, CLI for depth - **General web search, quick lookups, fact-checks**: use the `parallel-search` MCP server (`web_search`) when it is configured. It is free. Do not call `parallel-cli search` for these. For current official facts (framework/library/API documentation), prefer the harness's native web search per repo convention. When the MCP server is absent, use the harness's native web search, or fall back to `parallel-cli search`. - Escalate to `parallel-cli search` only when MCP is insufficient: `--mode advanced` for hard multi-step questions, `--after-date` freshness, `--include-domains` / `--exclude-domains`, `--location` geo-targeting, or high-volume batch queries. - **URL content extraction**: `parallel-cli extract` (cleaner than MCP `web_fetch` for PDFs, JS-heavy pages, and long articles). …

How to install
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/parallel-cli@sha256:9eccaa0ece6f5150The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.2e0da89, 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.
