Search Rabbytte from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible assistant.
Rabbytte is a small, human-curated search engine. Every site in the index was submitted by a person and approved by a person. No crawler, no SEO spam, no machine-generated filler. That makes it useful grounding data: when an assistant searches Rabbytte, every result is a site a human already vetted.
The whole index is free to use. No API key, no signup.
You need Node.js 18 or newer. The server is published on npm and runs with npx, so there is nothing to clone or build.
Add this to claude_desktop_config.json (Claude → Settings → Developer → Edit Config):
Restart Claude Desktop. You can then ask things like "search Rabbytte for independent music blogs" or "ask Rabbytte what it knows about self-storage in Canyon Lake."
Add the same block to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects:
The server uses stdio transport. Point your client at npx -y rabbytte-mcp and it will work.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_rabbytte | Full-text search over the curated index. Returns titles, URLs, descriptions, tags, and addresses where known. Accepts query and an optional page. |
ask_rabbytte | Answers a natural-language question strictly from the index, with cited sources. Says so when the index has no answer rather than making one up. |
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
RABBYTTE_URL | https://rabbytte.com | Point the server at a different Rabbytte instance. |
If you'd rather not use MCP, the same index is available over HTTP:
GET https://rabbytte.com/api/search?q=...GET https://rabbytte.com/api/ask?q=...Docs and an OpenAPI spec are at rabbytte.com/api-docs. There is also an llms.txt.
Know a site that belongs in a hand-picked index? Submit it. A person reads every submission.
