What is metasota-API-MCP GEMINI.md?

Gemini CLI instructions for a TypeScript server that connects AI assistants to Metaso Search, a web-search service. It can search several content types, read web pages, and answer questions through the service's API.

Use them when installing, building, running, or extending the Metaso search, page-reading, and question-answering tools.

They provide the project's required setup, environment needs, build commands, and main components in one place.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00474	$0.00474
Opus 5	$0.00237	$0.00237
Sonnet 5	$0.00095	$0.00095
Haiku 4.5	$0.00047	$0.00047

Measured 10d ago against content hash 5b974d861b70, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-10, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

metasota-API-MCP GEMINI.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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Metaso Search MCP Server

Project Overview

This project is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for Metaso Search (秘塔搜索). It enables AI assistants (like Claude, Cursor) to perform real-time web searches, read web pages, and conduct intelligent Q&A using Metaso's API.

Key Technologies:

Language: TypeScript
Runtime: Node.js
Framework: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
HTTP Client: axios
Validation: zod

Architecture

The server exposes three main tools:

metaso_search: Multi-dimensional search (webpage, document, paper, image, video, podcast).
metaso_reader: Reads and parses web page content (Markdown/JSON).
metaso_chat: Intelligent Q&A using models like ds-r1 (DeepSeek-R1), fast, and fast_thinking.

The entry point is src/index.ts, which sets up the MCP server, validates environment variables, and handles tool execution.

Building and Running

Prerequisites

Node.js (>=18.0.0)
NPM

Key Commands

Install Dependencies: npm install
Build: npm run build (Runs tsc)
Development: npm run dev (Runs tsc --watch)
Start: npm start (Runs node dist/index.js)
Clean: npm run clean

Configuration

The server requires environment variables to function:

METASO_API_KEY: (Required) Your Metaso API Key.
METASO_BASE_URL: (Optional) API base URL (default: https://metaso.cn/api/v1).
METASO_DEFAULT_MODEL: (Optional) Default QA model (default: ds-r1).

Development Conventions

Code Style: TypeScript strict mode is likely enabled (inferred from standard MCP templates).
Error Handling: Custom error handling for Axios requests and tool execution.
Input Validation: Uses Zod schemas for all tool inputs and API responses.

Changes

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.
