What is the AddSearch MCP Server?
Connect your AddSearch account to your AI agent and turn your site's search index into an interactive, manageable database. Perfect for content teams and developers who need to audit site search performance without opening dashboards.
What you can do
- Deep Search — Query your indexed content using natural language, apply custom field filters (e.g. "category=shoes"), or sort by custom variables
- Document Management — List all indexed pages, import new content directly via JSON, or permanently delete outdated documents from the index
- Search Analytics — Retrieve live statistics on user queries, identifying top searches, zero-result queries, and click-through rates
- Frontend Emulation — Test your auto-suggestions and pagination just like a real user interacting with your search bar
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your AddSearch Site Key and optional Secret Key
- Start managing your search index from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible environment
Who is this for?
- Content Managers — ask your agent what the most popular zero-result queries were this week to identify content gaps
- Developers — debug the search index by looking up a specific URL's metadata or manually pushing a JSON document fix in seconds
- E-Commerce Teams — query specific product categories and verify if the relevance ranking is displaying the right inventory

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent manually index new pages?
Yes. If you provide the AddSearch Secret Key, your agent can use the index_document tool. You can supply a URL and a JSON payload containing the title and body, and the agent will push it directly into your live search index without waiting for the web scraper.
What kind of search analytics can I retrieve?
Using the Secret Key, your agent can call two analytics endpoints: stats_queries (to see what users searched for, including top searches and zero-result queries) and stats_clicks (to see the click-through rates and popular URLs users navigated to from the search bar).
Do I need the Secret Key if I just want to test search queries?
No, if your goal is solely to run searches, paginate results, or check auto-suggestions, the public 'Site Key' is completely sufficient. The Secret Key is only required to list all documents, modify the index, and fetch analytics.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
