SiftQ + Claude Desktop

Give Claude access to live web search.

Once the SiftQ MCP server is configured in Claude Desktop, Claude can autonomously decide to search the web during any conversation — for papers, documents, images, videos, podcasts, or general web results. No prompt engineering required; the tool description guides Claude to call it appropriately.

Install

npm
npm install -g @siftq/mcp-server

json
{
  "mcpServers": {

      "env": { "SIFTQ_API_KEY": "mk-..." }
    }
  }
}
