Provides web search capabilities through a lightweight server that connects to OpenAI's or OpenRouter.ai's search-enabled models with minimal setup requirements.
  1. Open the FastMCP connection interface (use the "Install Now" button)
    Click the "Install Now" button in your MCP UI to open the FastMCP connection / ENV form where you can enter environment variables.

  2. Which fields to fill in the FastMCP form

    • API_KEY — paste the secret API key you obtain from your provider.
    • PROVIDER — set to either openai (default) or openrouter.
  3. If you will use OpenAI (set PROVIDER = openai)

    1. Sign in to your OpenAI account at the OpenAI dashboard (platform.openai.com).
    2. Open the API Keys / Account → API keys page.
    3. Click "Create new secret key" (or create a service-account key if you prefer a service key). Copy the generated secret key — it is shown only once. (platform.openai.com)
    4. Paste that secret key into the FastMCP form field named API_KEY and set PROVIDER to openai.
    5. Save the connection and restart your MCP client (Claude App, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) if required.
  4. If you will use OpenRouter (set PROVIDER = openrouter)

    1. Sign in or create an account at OpenRouter (openrouter.ai).
    2. Go to your API Keys / Key management page and create a new API key (you can give it a name and optional spending limit). Copy the key shown (the key is displayed only once). (openrouter.ai)
    3. Paste that key into the FastMCP API_KEY field and set PROVIDER to openrouter.
    4. Save and restart your MCP client if needed.
  5. Security best practices (always do these)

    • Treat the API key as a secret: do not commit it to code or public repos. (help.openai.com)
    • Use service-account keys where available for long-running services, and consider setting spending/usage limits if your provider supports them. (openrouter.ai)
  6. Verify the connection
    After saving the ENV in FastMCP and restarting your client, run a simple search through your AI coder (e.g., "search mcp for test") to confirm the MCP server responds using the configured provider.
