search

search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,001 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A live web and news search skill that returns AI summaries with citations. It is designed for questions where current information matters more than finding semantically similar research.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding breaking news, current web information, dated results, and sentiment or discussion on X when those sources are configured.
Why use it?
It helps answer time-sensitive questions with recent sources and lets the caller limit the number of results and cost.

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

search 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Live Search (Grok)

Real-time web + news search with AI-summarized results and citations. PRICED PER SOURCE and expensive by default: $0.025 × max_results, +5% +$0.001 → default 10 settles $0.2635 per call. Best for fresh queries; for semantic / neural research use blockrun_exa instead.

How to Call from MCP

blockrun_search({ body: {
  query: "what's the consensus on the Fed's next move",
  sources: ["web", "news"],
  max_results: 10
}})

Body Shape

Field Required Type Notes
query yes string Natural-language search query
sources no string[] Subset of ["web","news"]. Default: both. Does NOT multiply price.
max_results no number 1–50, default 10. Drives the price — ~$0.0263 charged per source. Pass a small number to cap spend; the gateway prices the raw value and does not floor fractions.
from_date no string YYYY-MM-DD lower bound on result date
to_date no string YYYY-MM-DD upper bound

When to Reach for Which Source

User intent sources setting
Breaking news / today's headlines ["news"]
What's the CT / KOL sentiment on X ["x"]
Backgrounder / explainer / docs ["web"]
General "find current info" question omit — defaults to all three

Worked Examples

1. "What's the latest on the ETH ETF approval timeline?"

blockrun_search({ body: { query: "Ethereum ETF approval SEC", sources: ["news","web"], max_results: 8 } })

Cost: ~$0.2110 (8 sources: $0.025 × 8 × 1.05 + $0.001).

2. "What is X saying about Solana's latest outage?"

blockrun_search({ body: { query: "Solana outage today", sources: ["x"], max_results: 15 } })

Cost: ~$0.3948 (15 sources: $0.025 × 15 × 1.05 + $0.001).

3. "Background on Pectra upgrade, last 90 days only"

blockrun_search({ body: {
  query: "Ethereum Pectra upgrade",
  sources: ["web","news"],
  from_date: "2026-02-17"
}})

Cost: $0.2635 (10 sources, the default — verified live).

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.
