From the repository

Once the server is running and connected to Claude Desktop, you can use it to perform web searches. For example:

1. Ask Claude: "Can you search for information about the latest advancements in quantum computing?"
2. Claude will use the kagi_search tool to fetch results from Kagi's API.
3. Claude will then summarize or analyze the search results for you.

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.

To install Kagi Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx @smithery/cli install kagi-server --client claude

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"
      }
    }
  }
}

`kagi_search`

Perform web searches using Kagi. Takes a query string and optional limit as parameters. Returns search results from Kagi's API.

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

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 thekagi_searchtool 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.

Contributions are welcome! Please feel free to submit a Pull Request. Some areas for contribution include:

- Implementing the planned tools (summarize, fastgpt, enrich)
- Improving error handling and input validation
- Enhancing documentation and usage examples
