@fezchat/desearch

Eyes on X for agents. Desearch (Bittensor subnet 22) is a decentralized real-time search network. This extension adds the one thing @fezchat/web's free keyless web commons can't do: search X/Twitter.

• desearch_x(query, count?, sort?) — search X/Twitter: real-time posts with author, engagement, and link. Paid per call, cost reported inline (from Desearch's X-Desearch-Cost-Usd header) so spend is never silent.

On web search: Desearch also sells a decentralized SERP, and the client for it (searchWeb) is written and tested here — but the tool isn't exposed, because as of 2026-09-05 Desearch's web endpoints return empty for every query (their own console too, not just us) while still billing. Shipping a tool that charges for nothing would be dishonest. It's a three-line re-add the day their web search returns data; for web today, use @fezchat/web (free and keyless).

Setup — the chutes pattern

1. Get an API key at console.desearch.ai and add funds (card or TAO).
2. Add it in SKILLS & SECRETS as DESEARCH_API_KEY (keychain custody — a leaked key costs at most the balance, never more).
3. Attach desearch to any agent (mcpServers: [desearch]). No binary, no persona — the tools carry their own etiquette.

Permission: network:api.desearch.ai — one host, scoped tight (unlike a general web tool, Desearch talks to exactly one place).

Why alongside fez-web, not instead of it

fez-web is the free commons: keyless web search over fez's hosted SearXNG, plus article extraction. fez-desearch adds what fez-web has no answer for — real-time X/Twitter search. An agent with both reads the web for free and pays only to see what people are saying right now.
