Ransack MCP server

Ransack - Web Search & Fetch MCP Server for AI Agents

Ransack is an MCP server that gives AI agents live web search and page fetch through one endpoint and one API key. Twelve search engines behind a single MCP connection: search, fetch, discover, hosts, shop, verify, plus YouTube. No credits to manage, no per-engine billing: $15/month flat, 500 calls/day, failed fetches cost nothing, and every fetch returns a pass/fail receipt so silent failures cannot burn you.

This is a hosted service. This repository contains connection configuration, documentation, and logo; the server source is not public. Connect to:

Tools

### ransack One tool, many modes: search, fetch, discover, hosts, shop, verify, research. search is metasearch across engines; fetch is the primary answer path; hosts enumerates a domain's assets from certificate transparency, DNS, sitemaps, web archives, crawl indexes, JS routes and scan records; shop returns price and availability; verify checks a claim against its cited sources. freshness bypasses the result cache; it does not date-filter, so results are not filtered by date.

### youtube Fetch a YouTube transcript from a video URL.

### executeresearch Multi-step pipeline (discover, fetch, extract, synthesize) into a cited report. Returns a task handle by default; poll tasksget for the report_id and its per-claim citation verdicts.

### getreport Retrieve a persisted report by reportid.

### search_memory Semantic recall over previously fetched page chunks.

### tasks_get Poll an asynchronous research task.
