Transport

streamable-http

Endpoint

https://mcp.search1api.com/mcp

Authentication

Authentication is required. OAuth 2.1 with offline_access is the recommended method; a Bearer API key is an alternative and is optional when OAuth is used.

Requirements

• An MCP client supporting remote Streamable HTTP and OAuth 2.1, or the documented Bearer API-key mode.
• A Search1API account; tool usage consumes account credits.

Setup steps

1. In the MCP client, add a remote Streamable HTTP MCP server using https://mcp.search1api.com/mcp.
2. Complete the client browser OAuth flow and approve Search1API access. The discovered OAuth scope is offline_access.
3. For clients using an API key instead, open https://dashboard.search1api.com/ (it redirects to the Search1API app), choose API Keys, create a key, and configure it as an Authorization: Bearer value in the client secret/header facility. Never place the key in a public catalog or chat.
4. Reconnect the server and confirm initialize/tools/list succeeds. A harmless search query can check function, but may consume credits; check the dashboard balance first.

README documents these tool names, but no authenticated tools/list was performed; inventory is not marked exact.

This server’s available tools can vary by account, permissions, or configuration. The list shown is not its full runtime catalog.

• The remote server requires authentication before capability discovery.
• Search/crawl operations consume service credits; the README documents five credits for ask requests. Review the live dashboard for current plans and balances.
• The MCP.Directory profile linked github.com/fatwang2/search1api-mcp; GitHub redirects that URL to superagents-lab/search1api-mcp, the current repository that identifies this as the official server.

• The saved MCP.Directory profile repository URL redirects from https://github.com/fatwang2/search1api-mcp to https://github.com/superagents-lab/search1api-mcp; current publisher ownership is recorded from the redirected repository and Search1API product site.

• Official publisher repository README

  Identifies this as Search1API's official MCP server; documents OAuth 2.1 and API-key modes, remote endpoint, stdio package, tool names/parameters, credit caveats, and product icon.

• Official product website

  Confirms Search1API product identity and its web search/crawl capabilities; linked from the official server README.

• Official API-key dashboard linked by publisher

  Official dashboard page lists an API Keys section for creating and managing keys; currently redirects to app.s1.dev.

• Official OAuth protected-resource metadata

  Live metadata identifies the MCP resource, authorization server https://clerk.s1.dev, and supported scope offline_access.

• Official Streamable HTTP endpoint

  Unauthenticated initialize returned HTTP 401 with a Bearer OAuth resource-metadata challenge and the message that OAuth 2.1 or a Search1API API key is required. Reachability/auth challenge verified; MCP initialization and tools/list remain blocked pending authentication.

• Official MCP product icon

  Downloaded HTTP 200 image/png; decoded as 512x512 PNG and visually reviewed on light and dark backgrounds.

• Official MCP server metadata

  The publisher metadata declares the remote endpoint https://mcp.search1api.com/mcp with transport type streamable-http.

• official tool documentation

  Official README documents seven tools: search, news, ask, crawl, sitemap, trending, render_results.
