README

octen-mcp

MCP server for Octen. Plug it into Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, or any MCP client to give your agent live web search and URL extraction.

Core capabilities:

search / news_search: search the live web with domain, text, and time filters.
broad_search: decompose a query into multiple sub-queries, search them concurrently, and return results grouped per sub-query for broad coverage.
extract: turn one or more URLs into clean, LLM-ready content.
image_search (In Beta — contact us for beta access): search the web for images by text query, optionally with a reference image.
video_search (In Beta — contact us for beta access): search the web for videos by text query.

What makes Octen useful for agents is that extract returns more than page text. Each successful result also includes:

category: what the page is about
page_structure: what kind of page it is
highlights: ranked snippets when you pass a query

That lets an agent skip login walls, nav pages, and off-topic URLs before spending tokens on the full body.

Why Octen MCP

Fast

Web search averages 62ms. Fast enough for multi-step MCP workflows.

Accurate

Fresh

Live web data with minute-level updates. Useful for news, prices, and fast-moving pages.

Efficient

Clean highlights, optional full_content, and page labels keep model context relevant.

Quick start

You need an OCTEN_API_KEY from octen.ai.

For most MCP clients, the config is:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "octen": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "octen-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OCTEN_API_KEY": "your-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Install command by client

Agent	One-line install
Claude Code	`claude mcp add --scope user octen -e OCTEN_API_KEY=your-key-here -- npx -y octen-mcp`
Codex	`codex mcp add octen --env OCTEN_API_KEY=your-key-here -- npx -y octen-mcp`
Gemini CLI	`gemini mcp add octen -e OCTEN_API_KEY=your-key-here -- npx -y octen-mcp`
VS Code	`code --add-mcp '{"name":"octen","command":"npx","args":["-y","octen-mcp"],"env":{"OCTEN_API_KEY":"your-key-here"}}'` (or click a badge above)
