What do I need to use this MCP?

You need a Bing Search API key from the Azure Portal to connect the capability to your AI client.

Which AI clients can use this?

This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Does this work with any search engine?

No, this specific MCP uses the Bing Search API to provide web, image, and news data.

How is the data hosted?

Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so you don't have to run it locally.

Can my agent find images?

Yes, the MCP includes capabilities specifically for searching and retrieving images and videos.

Can I filter web search results to only return specific types of content?

Yes! While the search_web capability returns a broad mix, you can use specialized capabilities like search_images, search_news, or search_videos to target specific media types directly.

How do I see what is currently trending on the web?

Simply ask the agent to get_trending_news. It will retrieve currently viral topics and news summaries from the Bing Trending engine.

Does this integration provide ad-free results?

Yes. The Bing Search API returns raw structured data (JSON), which does not include the typical search engine advertisements found on the public website.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

Bing Search works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Bing Search to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Bing Search, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Bing Search. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
