Vybsly MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Vybsly — the AI-first search API with 26M+ full-content pages, encyclopedia federation, strict-mode filters, and real-time data tools.

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client.

Why Vybsly

Other search APIs return snippets. Vybsly returns up to 30,000 characters of clean, extracted content per result — the full page, ready for RAG and agent context. No scraping, no follow-up fetches.

26M+ web pages indexed with full content
25M+ encyclopedia articles (federated search via /knowledge)
Strict mode: enforce research/news/educational domains with allowlists
Real-time data: stocks, crypto, weather, news, sports odds, maps
8× cheaper than Tavily, $9/mo for 10,000 queries

Install

npm install -g vybsly-mcp

Or use directly with npx:

npx vybsly-mcp
