Keenable MCP
MCP server for live web search and clean-markdown page fetch over the Keenable web index.
- Hosted endpoint:
https://api.keenable.ai/mcp(Streamable HTTP) - Tools:
search_web_pages,fetch_page_content - Keyless by default (1,000 requests/hour). An optional API key lifts the cap.
The server is hosted, so most clients just point at the URL. For clients (or
config paths) that only accept a stdio command there is a thin npm wrapper
(@keenable/mcp) that bridges to the same endpoint.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_web_pages | Live web search. Args: query (required), plus optional mode, site, published_after / published_before, acquired_after / acquired_before. |
fetch_page_content | Fetch a URL and return clean markdown. Args: url (required), optional max_chars (default 50000). |
Use it
Remote (recommended)
Clients with remote MCP support — Cursor, Cline, VS Code, and Claude Desktop's Custom Connectors UI — connect to the URL directly:
{
"mcpServers": {
"keenable": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://api.keenable.ai/mcp"
}
}
}
Stdio (e.g. Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json)
For clients or config paths that only accept a stdio command, run the wrapper
with npx:
{
"mcpServers": {
"keenable": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@keenable/mcp"]
}
}
}
That is all you need for keyless use.
API key (optional)
Keenable is keyless by default. To lift the hourly rate limit, pass a key.
Remote:
{
"mcpServers": {
"keenable": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://api.keenable.ai/mcp",
"headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_KEY" }
}
}
}
Stdio:
{
"mcpServers": {
"keenable": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@keenable/mcp"],
"env": { "KEENABLE_API_KEY": "YOUR_KEY" }
}
}
}
How the wrapper works
@keenable/mcp is a small stdio bridge: it connects to the hosted server over
Streamable HTTP and forwards every tool the server exposes. There is no
search logic in this package; the index and tools live behind
https://api.keenable.ai/mcp. Environment variables:
KEENABLE_API_KEY— optional API key, sent asX-API-Key.KEENABLE_MCP_URL— override the endpoint (defaults tohttps://api.keenable.ai/mcp).
