README

GrokSearch-rs

A lightweight Rust MCP server for Grok / OpenAI‑compatible web search, plus Tavily fetch/map and Firecrawl fallback.

grok-search-rs is an MCP stdio server — your client (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, …) launches it; you do not run it directly. It exposes one set of tools (web_search, get_sources, web_fetch, web_map, doctor) and supports two upstream transports so you can plug into either xAI's official API or any OpenAI‑compatible relay.

Features

🔎 Live web search with cited sources, cached for follow‑up get_sources calls.
🔀 Two transports — native xAI Responses (/v1/responses) or any OpenAI‑compatible chat‑completions gateway (/v1/chat/completions). Pick by env vars; no flag.
🔐 Optional Grok OAuth mode — login/status/logout commands store a local xAI OAuth token for Responses auth, so the MCP server can run without GROK_SEARCH_API_KEY.
📥 Tavily fetch / map for full‑text extraction and link discovery, with Firecrawl as automatic fallback.
🐦 Optional X/Twitter search via x_search (Responses transport only).
🩺 doctor — connectivity probe + redacted config in one tool call.
🗂 Single global config file so multiple MCP clients share one set of keys.

Install

npm install -g grok-search-rs

The npm package ships a native Rust binary; the grok-search-rs command is what your MCP client launches.

Quick Start

After npm install -g grok-search-rs, add this MCP server entry to your client config:

{
  "grok-search-rs": {
    "command": "grok-search-rs",
    "args": [],
    "env": {
      "GROK_SEARCH_API_KEY": "",
      "GROK_SEARCH_URL": "",
      "GROK_SEARCH_MODEL": "grok-4.20-fast",
      "TAVILY_API_KEY": "",
      "TAVILY_API_URL": "https://api.tavily.com",
      "FIRECRAWL_API_KEY": ""
    }
  }
}

For Codex TOML config:

[mcp_servers.grok-search-rs]
type = "stdio"
command = "grok-search-rs"

[mcp_servers.grok-search-rs.env]
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY = ""
GROK_SEARCH_API_KEY = ""
GROK_SEARCH_MODEL = "grok-4.20-fast"
GROK_SEARCH_URL = ""
TAVILY_API_KEY = ""
TAVILY_API_URL = "https://api.tavily.com"

Put your real keys in the empty values. If your client expects a top-level mcpServers / mcp_servers object, place the grok-search-rs entry under that section.

Optional: scaffold a shared global config file instead of duplicating env blocks in every MCP client:
```
grok-search-rs --init
$EDITOR ~/.config/grok-search-rs/config.toml
```
Verify:
```
Ask your assistant: "call doctor"
```
Successful output shows reachable: true for each enabled upstream and transport: Responses (or ChatCompletions).

Configuration

Pick one transport group. Both Tavily and Firecrawl keys are shared across transports.

A. Native Grok Responses (default)

Variable	Default	Purpose
`GROK_SEARCH_AUTH_MODE`	`api_key`	`api_key` uses `GROK_SEARCH_API_KEY`; `oauth` uses the local token from `grok-search-rs login`.
`GROK_SEARCH_API_KEY`	— (required in `api_key` mode)	Bearer token for the Grok / xAI gateway.
`GROK_SEARCH_AUTH_FILE`	`<home>/.config/grok-search-rs/auth.json`	Optional OAuth token file override.
`GROK_SEARCH_URL`	`https://api.x.ai`	Root, `/v1`, or full‑endpoint URL.
`GROK_SEARCH_MODEL`	`grok-4-1-fast-reasoning`	Model name.
`GROK_SEARCH_WEB_SEARCH`	`true`	Offer `web_search` tool to Grok.
`GROK_SEARCH_X_SEARCH`	`false`	Offer `x_search` tool (X/Twitter) to Grok.

Verified upstreams: xAI (https://api.x.ai, both tools), Modelverse (https://api.modelverse.cn, x_search depends on relay).

OAuth mode is a single-binary flow:

grok-search-rs login
grok-search-rs status
