Details

From the project README

Searchanise MCP by usefulapi

Use your Searchanise account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Search products, categories and pages, get suggestions, check the index status, and delete single items from the search index. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://searchanise.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://searchanise.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http searchanise https://searchanise.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searchanise": {
      "url": "https://searchanise.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Searchanise credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/searchanise/

On first connect you provide the Public API key (search) and the Private key (index and deletes), both found in your Searchanise control panel under Smart Search & Filter. The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.

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.
