Deep Research MCP Server – Web Search & Research for AI Agents

Deep Research MCP is a Model Context Protocol server for Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client. Unlike search wrappers that force you to bring your own OpenAI or Perplexity key, search and page-reading run on the platform — your agent is the LLM, so it writes the synthesis itself.

How it works

Start the MCP server

Run the actor in Standby mode on Apify to get your MCP endpoint.

Connect your agent

Point Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client at the /mcp endpoint.

Ask it to research

Your agent calls deep_research, gets a cited dossier of read sources, and writes the answer.

FAQ

Do I need an OpenAI or Perplexity key?

No. The calling agent does the synthesis; the server only does search + reading.
