You can access Kagi Search and Summarizer features through a lightweight MCP server that uses your existing Kagi session token. This setup lets you perform web searches and summarize URLs or text content without needing a separate API key. It’s designed to work with MCP clients like Claude Desktop or Claude Code, leveraging your Kagi session to retrieve results and generate summaries efficiently.

How to use

To use the kagi_ken_mcp server, connect through your MCP client and reference the server by its name. You’ll be able to perform two main actions: fetch web results using Kagi Search and generate summaries with Kagi’s Summarizer. Use the search tool for queries like time’s 2024 person of the year, and use the summarizer for URLs you want summarized.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Node.js 22 or newer installed on your machine.

Get your Kagi session token using your browser settings. Copy the Session Link and extract the token value.
Store the token for automatic use by the MCP server or provide it as an environment variable when you start the server.
Add the MCP server to your Claude environment to enable access from Claude Desktop or Claude Code using the following configurations.
After setup, disable Claude Desktop’s built-in websearch or Claude Code’s built-in web search to ensure requests go through the kagi-ken-mcp server.
Use the following configuration snippets to register the MCP server in your Claude desktop and Claude Code environments.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kagi-ken-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:czottmann/kagi-ken-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Additional configuration and usage notes

Notes on environment variables and security: the KAGI_SESSION_TOKEN grants access to your Kagi account. Treat it as a secret and do not expose it in public places.

Configuration details for MCP clients
