You can perform semantic searches across your knowledge base without leaving your chat. Use `search_content` to find relevant information trapped in your files. The AI retrieves exact chunks of data from your buckets. It then uses that context to answer your questions accurately.

Ingest web data into Claude Desktop

Point the server at any URL to pull in live content. The `ingest_website` tool crawls the page and makes it searchable immediately. Once the content is ready, you can query it using `search_documents`. This keeps your research up to date without manual copy-pasting.
