Live web grounding for local and cloud LLMs, as four MCP tools. Every model is frozen at its training cutoff; Grounder gives yours the current web - ranked results, real page content, and a cited evidence pack sized to your context window.
A thin stdio client for the hosted service at https://grounder.dev - no browser, no scraper, nothing heavy runs locally. It runs with no signup on a shared demo key; add your own free key (1,500 pages/month, no card) at grounder.dev for real use.

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
web_search | Google organic results plus people-also-ask, related searches, and the knowledge graph. The top snippet often already holds the answer. |
fetch | One page as clean markdown, capped to your token budget, plus the final URL after redirects. |
deep_search | One search, read across the pages it surfaces, ranked into a token-capped, cited evidence pack. Optional grounded answer. |
research | Investigates an open question with no ready-made answer: it plans, reads primary sources, notices what is missing, goes back for it, and reasons to a grounded conclusion. |
fetch reads the actual current page; any caching is short,
timestamped, and force-refreshable.Free: 1,500 pages/month, no card. Starter $9/mo, Pro $19/mo. Full table at https://grounder.dev/pricing.
