# ssearch — Free search for AI agents

Search access is free. No signup, subscription, payment details, or credentials are required.
Website: https://ssearch.cc
Human setup guide: https://ssearch.cc/guide

## Connect
Name: ssearch
Remote MCP server: https://ssearch.cc/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Authentication: None

Add this as a remote MCP connection in the user's agent or client. If you cannot
configure the client yourself, explain how to add it in Tools, Connectors, or MCP
settings. The client must support remote Streamable HTTP connections.
Do not ask the user to register or create credentials.

Initialize the MCP session, send notifications/initialized, and discover tools
with tools/list. Retain any returned Mcp-Session-Id and follow the negotiated
protocol. Use tool schemas from the running service.

## Search
Enable and call search_web. Example arguments:
{"query":"Python documentation","max_results":3,"fresh":false}

Return relevant page titles, source links, and snippets from the result.
Do not fabricate matches or claim a search was performed without calling the tool.
Search uses the pages ingested into ssearch's own index. Coverage is growing;
empty results are possible. For no matches, explain that and suggest a clearer
or broader query. Fresh bypasses the response cache; it does not guarantee newly
published pages or a complete crawl of the web.

## Troubleshooting
Choose Authentication: None. Leave credential fields empty.
Use the complete address including /mcp and enable tools for the conversation.
An older saved connection or directory preset may contain outdated requirements;
create a manual remote connection with the details above.
For a temporary limit, respect retry guidance. For timeouts or service errors,
wait and retry conservatively rather than sending repeated requests.

## Business
https://ssearch.cc/business describes planned aggregate search insights,
reporting, and sponsored discovery. These business features are coming soon
and are separate from free agent search.
