You.com MCP

Up

You.com's official MCP server: a search service with an AI agent layered on its own index. Three tools — you-search for web search, you-research for multi-step agentic research and you-contents for extracting page content. Available with an API key, or in a free mode via YDC_PROFILE=free with reduced limits. Still a small repo (23 stars), but officially maintained by You.com.

Why this server

  • YDC_PROFILE=free gives free access with no card — try it right away
  • you-research runs a full search chain in one call instead of stitching steps by hand
  • you-contents pulls page content with no separate crawler or parser needed
  • Official but young (23 stars) — less battle-tested by the community than alternatives

Usage examples

Prompt: Find recent reviews of this laptop and summarize the common pros and cons

Result: The agent called you-search on the laptop model, then you-contents on the top reviews for details.

Prompt: Research how graphics-card prices have changed over the past year

Result: The agent called you-research with the topic — the service ran a series of queries and returned a consolidated answer.

Server tools · 6

Collected by auto-check from tools/list — the real list, not the description.

  • you-answer

    Fast live-web answer generation returning one synthesized answer with verified inline citations, citation excerpts, and supporting web results. Use when the caller wants a single sourced answer; use research for deeper multi-step investigation, effort control, structured output, or background tasks. Supports freshness, country, language, and domain filters.

  • you-balance

    Get the remaining credit balance for the billing entity associated with your You.com API key. Balance is in cents (divide by 100 for USD).

  • you-contents

    Extract full content from specific URLs in markdown, HTML, or structured metadata. Use when you already have URLs and need to read them before relying on exact details.

  • you-discover

    Discover AI agents, MCP servers, A2A agents, and skills via ARD Agent Finder services. Search-only — never installs or connects. Returns ranked results with relevance scores.

  • you-research

    One-shot cited synthesis — research a topic and return a concise answer with inline citations and source list. Use when a synthesized, sourced answer is needed rather than raw search results. Configurable effort levels (lite, standard, deep, exhaustive, frontier).

  • you-search

    Current web and news search returning snippets, source URLs, and metadata. Default for finding current information; supports domain, country, language, and freshness filters, and extraction (highlights or full page content). For multi-part questions, issue a separate focused query per sub-question — one facet each, not the whole question.
