Frequently asked questions

What is the best MCP server for web search?

Popular options wrap search APIs and headless scraping. This page ranks web search and extraction servers by real usage so you can pick a proven one.

Can MCP servers scrape any website?

They can fetch and parse most public pages, but respect each site’s terms of service and robots directives. Some servers add rate limiting and caching to stay polite.

Do web search MCP servers need an API key?

Those backed by a commercial search API (e.g. Brave, Tavily, SerpAPI) need your own key; fully self-contained scrapers usually do not.
