Reduces manual research overhead during development by enabling Claude to autonomously gather and synthesize technical information, cutting iteration cycles …

An open-source deep research engine for AI agents, exposed over MCP. Searches 40 channels — arXiv, PubMed, GitHub, Hacker News, Reddit, Google News, SEC EDGAR, and 10+ Chinese sources like WeChat and 36kr — and returns deduplicated, ranked results with source URLs. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP hosts; the engine stays decoupled from LLM calls so your agent keeps its own model and prompts.

Reviewer notes

Auto-scanned review. These are observations, not a security certification.

Auto-assessment from April sweep — baseline scores pending hands-on review.

2026-04-18: Approved in April sweep: New and small but has a clear description and recent commits — worth tracking.

Things to check

  • Roughly a third of channels (YouTube, Bilibili, Twitter/X, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Xueqiu) require third-party API keys or logins — only ~27 of 40 work out of the box. Result quality depends on the public sources behind each channel. Run 'autosearch doctor' to check channel status.
