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 as X-API-Key.
• KEENABLE_MCP_URL — override the endpoint (defaults to https://api.keenable.ai/mcp).
