Tako MCP Server

Tako MCP gives your agent industry-leading live web search plus licensed data that the open web does not have. That includes company financials, macroeconomic indicators, web and app traffic, sports, US government spending, and more.

Full Documentation · Get your API key · MCP Registry

Tako MCP lets an agent:

  • Search Tako's knowledge graph and the live web — top result renders inline as a chart, and tako_contents reads the rows behind it
  • Discover exactly what proprietary data exists for an entity or metric — free and fast
  • Fetch the underlying rows (JSON) or a page's text behind any result URL
  • Visualize your own structured data as an embeddable card — public and permanent, readable by anyone with the link (opt-in; on by default on the ChatGPT app)
  • Run Tako's Answer Agent for deep, multi-step research (opt-in)

Why a data-native search API? On Tako's VerticalRTK benchmark of real-time domain questions (finance, economics, sports, weather), Tako outperforms the next-best web search API by 21% — while using ~75% fewer tool calls at up to one-tenth the cost, and answering research tasks in 15.5s vs 124.2s for OpenAI web search. It reaches parity with Exa, Parallel, Nimble, and Tavily on standard web benchmarks (SimpleQA, FRAMES) and pulls ahead where structured, real-time data matters. Read the evals →

Installation

Point your MCP client at the hosted endpoint — no install, no local server, no token:

https://mcp.tako.com/mcp

Paste the URL. Sign in when your client prompts you — a per-host key is minted automatically, and new accounts get up to 2,000 free requests. Until you sign in, the connection runs anonymously: tako_search works right away (rate-limited), and every other tool — listed like everything else — asks you to sign in when called. For CI, headless use, or a client without an OAuth flow, connect with an API key instead — see API keys and headless clients.
