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- Document Management — List all indexed pages, import new content directly via JSON, or permanently delete outdated documents from the index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

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, AddSearch becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call AddSearch tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

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 CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
