add-parallel

A connection between Breadbrich Engels and Parallel AI, a web-research service. It adds quick web searches and longer research tasks, with results checked in the background.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for fast web lookups or more comprehensive web research from Breadbrich Engels.
Why use it?
It lets Breadbrich Engels research online without making the main process wait. You need a Parallel AI API key, Breadbrich Engels, and Docker.

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

add-parallel 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to add-parallel — 46 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Add Parallel AI Integration

Adds Parallel AI MCP integration to Breadbrich Engels for advanced web research capabilities.

What This Adds

  • Quick Search - Fast web lookups using Parallel Search API (free to use)
  • Deep Research - Comprehensive analysis using Parallel Task API (asks permission)
  • Non-blocking Design - Uses Breadbrich Engels scheduler for result polling (no container blocking)

Prerequisites

User must have:

  1. Parallel AI API key from https://platform.parallel.ai
  2. Breadbrich Engels already set up and running
  3. Docker installed and running

Implementation Steps

Run all steps automatically. Only pause for user input when explicitly needed.

1. Get Parallel AI API Key

Use AskUserQuestion: Do you have a Parallel AI API key, or should I help you get one?

If they have one: Collect it now.

If they need one: Tell them:

  1. Go to https://platform.parallel.ai
  2. Sign up or log in
  3. Navigate to API Keys section
  4. Create a new API key
  5. Copy the key and paste it here

Wait for the API key.

2. Add API Key to Environment

Add PARALLEL_API_KEY to .env:

# Check if .env exists, create if not
if [ ! -f .env ]; then
    touch .env
fi

# Add PARALLEL_API_KEY if not already present
if ! grep -q "PARALLEL_API_KEY=" .env; then
    echo "PARALLEL_API_KEY=${API_KEY_FROM_USER}" >> .env
    echo "✓ Added PARALLEL_API_KEY to .env"
else
    # Update existing key
    sed -i.bak "s/^PARALLEL_API_KEY=.*/PARALLEL_API_KEY=${API_KEY_FROM_USER}/" .env
    echo "✓ Updated PARALLEL_API_KEY in .env"
fi

Verify:

grep "PARALLEL_API_KEY" .env | head -c 50

3. Update Container Runner

Add PARALLEL_API_KEY to allowed environment variables in src/container-runner.ts:

Find the line:

const allowedVars = ['CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN', 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY'];

Replace with:

const allowedVars = ['CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN', 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY', 'PARALLEL_API_KEY'];

4. Configure MCP Servers in Agent Runner

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.

add-parallel is a skill published in the GitHub repository BreadchainCoop/labor.fun (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,246 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to add-parallel, differing in 46 lines, and is treated as a copy.
