MCP Server

The same search, for AI assistants and agents. PublicWWW runs a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server: connect it to an assistant once, and the assistant can search page source for you and check what is left of your quota.

Server URL https://api.publicwww.com/mcp

What the assistant can do

Two tools, both read-only: search runs a query in the usual syntax and returns the sites, with fragments of their source if asked; account tells your plan and how many searches are left today. Ask in plain words - the assistant writes the query:

  • "Which sites load angular.min.js? Show the first 20."
  • "Find Shopify shops that also load Google Tag Manager, and show me the code around the match."
  • "How many PublicWWW searches do I have left today?"

More on the arguments and the answers - Tools.
