kagi-server MCP Server
MCP server for Kagi API integration
This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that integrates the Kagi Search API. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing:
- Tools for performing web searches and other operations using Kagi's API (currently in private beta)
Features
Implemented Tools
kagi_search
- Perform web searches using Kagi- Takes a query string and optional limit as parameters
- Returns search results from Kagi's API
Planned Tools (Not Yet Implemented)
kagi_summarize
- Generate summaries of web pages or textkagi_fastgpt
- Get quick responses using Kagi's FastGPTkagi_enrich
- Fetch enriched news results on specific topics
Development
Install dependencies:
npm install
Build the server:
npm run build
For development with auto-rebuild:
npm run watch
Environment Setup
Create a .env
file in the root directory with your Kagi API key:
KAGI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
Make sure to add .env
to your .gitignore
file to keep your API key secure.
Installation
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"kagi-server": {
"command": "/path/to/kagi-server/build/index.js",
"env": {
"KAGI_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
npm run inspector
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
Usage
Once the server is running and connected to Claude Desktop, you can use it to perform web searches. For example:
- Ask Claude: "Can you search for information about the latest advancements in quantum computing?"
- Claude will use the
kagi_search
tool to fetch results from Kagi's API. - Claude will then summarize or analyze the search results for you.
Note: The planned tools (summarize, fastgpt, enrich) are not yet implemented and cannot be used.
Contributing
