SearchPipe

SearchPipe Integrations

Official integration packages for SearchPipe — a web search API and MCP server for developers building AI agents.

This repository contains:

• Remote MCP endpoint — connect any MCP client to SearchPipe via Streamable HTTP (no local install needed)
• LangChain SDK — pip install langchain-searchpipe for retriever, tool, and answer components
• Python SDK — pip install searchpipe, official thin client over the Search API
• TypeScript SDK — npm install searchpipe, official zero-dependency client (ESM + CJS)

The SearchPipe server itself is a managed service at searchpipe.tech. Self-hosting is available on request.

MCP Access (Remote)

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searchpipe": {
      "url": "https://searchpipe.tech/mcp/?api_key=sp-your-api-key-here"
    }
  }
}

Or use an Authorization header instead of URL parameter:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searchpipe": {
      "url": "https://searchpipe.tech/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sp-your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

See claude_desktop_config.json.example for a ready-to-copy template.

LangChain Integration

pip install langchain-searchpipe

See langchain-searchpipe/README.md for full usage examples (retriever, tool, answer components).

Official SDKs

Both SDKs are thin wrappers over POST /search — same parameters, same response shape as the REST API.

Python (sdks/python/):

pip install searchpipe

from searchpipe import SearchPipe

client = SearchPipe(api_key="sp-YOUR_KEY")
resp = client.search("FastAPI tutorial", max_results=5, include_answer=True)
print(resp.answer)
for r in resp.results:
    print(r.score, r.title, r.url)

JavaScript / TypeScript (sdks/typescript/):

npm install searchpipe

import { SearchPipe } from "searchpipe";

const client = new SearchPipe({ apiKey: "sp-YOUR_KEY" });
const resp = await client.search({ query: "FastAPI tutorial", maxResults: 5, includeAnswer: true });
console.log(resp.answer);

Both default to https://searchpipe.tech and read the key from SEARCHPIPE_API_KEY. See each SDK's README for the full API, error classes, and self-hosting options.
