MCP tool from MCP Web Search Tool by gabrimatic

Returns the registered providers and the current default. Call this once if you are unsure whether newssearch or imagesearch are available in this session.

How to use it

Project documentation lists list_providers for the MCP Web Search Tool MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
