You can supercharge your AI coder with live web search capabilities using the 4o-mini-search MCP server. It lets your AI fetch fresh information from the web and answer questions without burning through expensive AI credits. It’s easy to set up and works with popular MCP clients, giving you fast access to current docs and up-to-date details.

How to use

After you add the MCP server to your MCP client, you can ask your AI to perform web searches as part of its reasoning. Examples include asking for the latest information on a model, explaining how a framework works, or finding up-to-date templates. The server uses the 4o-mini-search MCP workflow to pull fresh results and deliver them directly into your AI’s context. You can use it with an OpenAI provider or with OpenRouter.ai depending on your setup.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and npm installed on your system. Ensure you have access to the MCP configuration file used by your AI coder (the file where you declare MCP servers). Then follow these steps.

// 1) Add this MCP server configuration to your MCP config file
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "4o-mini-search": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@rebers/4o-mini-search-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "PROVIDER": "openai"
      }
    }
  }
}

// 2) Replace your-api-key with your actual API key

// 3) Choose the provider value: openai (default) or openrouter for OpenRouter.ai

// 4) Save the config file and restart your MCP client (Claude App, Cursor AI, Windsurf, etc.)

## Additional content

Notes and troubleshooting: If you encounter a connection issue with your MCP client (for example, a bad API key or similar), a common fix is to restart your editor or the MCP client completely and try again.
