# ContextWire MCP Server
[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
[](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)
[](https://contextwire.dev/compare.html)
[](https://contextwire.dev)
A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that gives AI agents access to web search across **105 engines**, academic research, content extraction, and more.
**94.3% accuracy on [SimpleQA](https://openai.com/index/introducing-simpleqa/) benchmark.**
## Quick Setup
Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"contextwire": {
"url": "https://contextwire.dev/mcp"
}
}
}
```
No local server needed — it's a hosted MCP endpoint.
