Grounder MCP server

Grounder MCP

Live web grounding for local and cloud LLMs, as four MCP tools. Every model is frozen at its training cutoff; Grounder gives yours the current web - ranked results, real page content, and a cited evidence pack sized to your context window.

A thin stdio client for the hosted service at https://grounder.dev - no browser, no scraper, nothing heavy runs locally. It runs with no signup on a shared demo key; add your own free key (1,500 pages/month, no card) at grounder.dev for real use.

Install

uvx grounder-mcp          # or: pip install grounder-mcp

Configure

Claude Desktop, Cursor, LM Studio, Continue.dev, or any MCP client. The key is optional - omit it to try Grounder on the shared demo key, or add your own free key from grounder.dev:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grounder": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["grounder-mcp"],
      "env": { "GROUNDER_API_KEY": "gnd_live_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

The four tools

Why use it

local model instead of overflowing it. A few raw pages can be 20,000+ tokens (we measured 22,759 for one query) - enough to make a small model return nothing. You get the relevant passages, not whole pages.

• It fits a small context window. Results come back token-capped, so they slot into an 8-32k

timestamped, and force-refreshable.

• The live page, not a cached copy. fetch reads the actual current page; any caching is short,

• Flat monthly price, billed in pages. You only pay for pages actually delivered. No per-call metering.
• No query content stored. Ever.

Pricing

Free: 1,500 pages/month, no card. Starter $9/mo, Pro $19/mo. Full table at https://grounder.dev/pricing.
