CLAUDE.md

AgentWebSearch-MCP CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from insung8150/AgentWebSearch-MCP. It costs 1,300 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Local web-search software that uses Chrome browsers and an MCP server, a way for coding agents to call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run simple searches, search the web and fetch pages, or perform agent-assisted searches from Claude Code.
Why use it?
It provides web searches without an API key, but requires Chrome instances to be started first.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

AgentWebSearch-MCP CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

AgentWebSearch-MCP is an API-key-free local web search system using Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) for parallel web searches. Includes MCP server for Claude Code integration.

Optional Model: AgentCPM-Explore - A 4B model from OpenBMB/THUNLP specifically trained for search agent tasks. Required only for the agentcpm tool.

Commands

Start Chrome instances (required before search)

python chrome_launcher.py start   # Start 3 Chrome instances (ports 9222-9224)
python chrome_launcher.py status  # Check status
python chrome_launcher.py stop    # Stop all

Run MCP server

python mcp_server.py              # stdio mode (Claude Code)
python mcp_server.py --sse --port 8902  # SSE mode (HTTP)

Use MCP tools (recommended)

When running as MCP server, use the MCP tools directly:

  • web_search - Simple search (no LLM required)
  • smart_search - Search + fetch URLs (no LLM required) ← Use this for most cases
  • agentcpm - Agentic search using AgentCPM-Explore via SGLang

Do NOT run search_agent.py directly when using MCP. Just call the MCP tools.

Run standalone search agent (CLI only)

# Only for command line usage, not within Claude Code
python search_agent.py "query" --depth deep
python search_agent.py -i                         # Interactive mode
python search_agent.py --llm ollama "query"       # CLI supports multiple backends

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
