Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client.

Why Vybsly

Other search APIs return snippets. Vybsly returns up to 30,000 characters of clean, extracted content per result — the full page, ready for RAG and agent context. No scraping, no follow-up fetches.

• 29M+ web pages indexed with full content
• 25M+ encyclopedia articles (federated search via /knowledge)
• Strict mode: enforce research/news/educational domains with allowlists
• Real-time data: stocks, crypto, weather, news, sports odds, maps
• 8× cheaper than Tavily, $9/mo for 10,000 queries

Install

npm install -g vybsly-mcp

Or use directly with npx:

npx vybsly-mcp
