From the repository

You'll need a Jina AI API key to use this server. Get one for free at https://jina.ai/

To install Jina AI for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install jina-ai-mcp-server --client claude

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Build the server:

npm run build

4. Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config:

{

  "mcpServers": {

    "jina-ai-mcp-server": {

      "command": "node",

      "args": [

        "/path/to/jina-ai-mcp-server/dist/index.js"

      ],

      "env": {

        "JINA_API_KEY": "<YOUR_KEY>"

      }

    }

  }

}

On MacOS:

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

On Windows:

%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

The evals package loads an mcp client that then runs the index.ts file, so there is no need to rebuild between tests. You can load environment variables by prefixing the npx command. Full documentation can be found here.

OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key  npx mcp-eval evals.ts index.ts

`read_webpage`

Extract content from web pages in a format optimized for LLMs. Supports multiple output formats (Default, Markdown, HTML, Text, Screenshot, Pageshot) and options for including links and images, generating alt text for images, and cache control.

`search_web`

Search the web using Jina AI's search API. Configurable number of results (default: 5), supports image retention and alt text generation, and returns structured results with titles, descriptions, and content in multiple formats (markdown, text, html).

`fact_check`

Fact-check statements using Jina AI's grounding engine. Provides factuality scores and supporting evidence, with an optional deep-dive mode for thorough analysis, returning references with key quotes and supportive/contradictory classification.

Jina AI MCP Server

An MCP server that provides access to Jina AI's powerful web services through Claude. This server implements three main tools:

- Web page reading and content extraction
- Web search
- Fact checking/grounding

Features

Tools

`read_webpage`

`search_web`

`fact_check`

Setup

Prerequisites

You'll need a Jina AI API key to use this server. Get one for free at https://jina.ai/

Installation

There are two ways to use this server:

Installing via Smithery

To install Jina AI for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install jina-ai-mcp-server --client claude

Option 1: NPX (Recommended)

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jina-ai-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "jina-ai-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JINA_API_KEY": "<YOUR_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Local Installation

1. Clone the repository 2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Build the server:

npm run build

4. Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config:

{

  "mcpServers": {

    "jina-ai-mcp-server": {

      "command": "node",

      "args": [

        "/path/to/jina-ai-mcp-server/dist/index.js"

      ],

      "env": {

        "JINA_API_KEY": "<YOUR_KEY>"

      }

    }

  }

}

Config File Location

On MacOS:

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

On Windows:

%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector:

npm run inspector

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

API Response Types

All tools return structured JSON responses that include:

- Status codes and metadata
- Formatted content based on the requested output type
- Usage information (token counts)
- When applicable: images, links, and additional metadata

For detailed schema information, see schemas.ts.
