Details
From the project READMESearcher OS — MCP Server
Connect your AI agent to Searcher OS, the operating system for acquisition entrepreneurs sourcing and buying small to mid-sized businesses.
This is a remote, hosted MCP server. There is nothing to install or self-host — you point your MCP client at a URL and authenticate. This repository contains the published server manifest and connection documentation; the server itself is a managed service.
Listed in the Official MCP Registry as ai.searcheros/searcher-os.
Connection
| Streamable HTTP | https://searcheros.ai/api/mcp/mcp |
| SSE | https://searcheros.ai/api/mcp/sse |
| Auth | OAuth 2.1 (preferred) or Bearer API key |
| Discovery | https://searcheros.ai/.well-known/mcp.json |
Note the doubled path segment on the Streamable HTTP endpoint. It is
/api/mcp/mcp, not/api/mcp— the latter returns 404.
OAuth (recommended)
Most clients discover everything they need on their own. Add the server URL and your client will walk you through browser-based sign-in and consent — no key to copy, and access is revocable from your account.
{
"mcpServers": {
"searcher-os": {
"url": "https://searcheros.ai/api/mcp/mcp"
}
}
}
API key
For headless clients that don't implement the OAuth flow. Generate a key under Settings → LLM Connect → Advanced: API Key.
{
"mcpServers": {
"searcher-os": {
"url": "https://searcheros.ai/api/mcp/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Treat the key like a password — it carries the same access to your pipeline that you have.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
