you-research

you-research is an MCP server for Claude Code from youdotcom-oss/agent-skills. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A remote research service that gives a coding agent access to You.com’s research endpoint through MCP, a standard way for tools to exchange requests and results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent needs to look up and gather information from outside sources. The input does not specify the exact research operations available.
Why use it?
It lets the agent consult an external research service instead of relying only on the information already in the conversation or project.

MCP server for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: listed in a Claude config.

Part of the you plugin — 8 skills, 3 MCP servers shipped together

One of 3 entries in .mcp.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 2 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Use it when an agent needs to look up and gather information from outside sources. The input does not specify the exact research operations available.

Security

Grade A, and why

you-research 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 today.

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 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.
