Setup guide

Set up mcp-omnisearch in Cline

communitystdiounknown

🔍 A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing unified access to multiple search engines (Tavily, Brave, Kagi, Exa), AI tools (Kagi FastGPT, Exa, Linkup), and content extraction services (Firecrawl, Tavily, Kagi). Includes GitHub search. All through a single interface.

01Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-omnisearch": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-omnisearch"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add this to cline_mcp_settings.json. Generated from the captured install method (npx); the mcpServers shape is shared across Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code.

02Steps

Open cline_mcp_settings.json and add the block above (merge into any existing mcpServers).
Provide any required API keys/credentials as environment variables.
Restart Cline and confirm mcp-omnisearch’s tools appear.
