Keenable MCP server
by keenableai · official
Lets your AI search the live web and turn any page into clean, readable text for you.
Keenable is a helper that gives your AI two new skills: searching the live web and reading a web page for you. It comes from the company behind the Keenable web index, so it is an official connection, not a homemade one. It is handy for anyone who asks their AI about current things and keeps getting old or made-up answers.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with what it already learned. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI one extra skill, like a new app on your phone. This one connects your AI to Keenable's web index, so it can search the web and open pages when you ask. You do not install anything complicated: it lives online at a web address, and your AI talks to it there.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI a question that needs fresh information, like what happened today or what a certain page says. Your AI passes your request to Keenable, which searches its web index and hands back matching pages. If you want the actual content, your AI asks Keenable to open one of those pages and Keenable returns the page as clean text, without menus, ads or clutter. Your AI then reads that text and answers you in the chat. You never leave the conversation.
Click to zoomWhat you can do with it
- Search the live web for pages matching a topic
- Limit a search to one website
- Filter results by when a page was published or found
- Fetch a web page and get it back as clean text
- Cap how much of a long page is returned
- Ask follow-up questions about a page your AI just read
Try asking your AI
- “Search the web for the latest news about electric car prices in Europe”
- “Find pages on bbc.com about the new train line”
- “Open this page and summarise it for me: https://example.com/article”
- “Look for articles published in the last week about remote work rules”
What it gives back to you
You get answers in your normal chat window. For a search, your AI usually shows a short list of matching pages with their titles and links, plus a summary. For a page fetch, you get the page's main text, trimmed to a readable length, and your AI can then summarise it or pull out the parts you care about. Nothing is changed on the web: Keenable only reads.
Before you start
What you need
- An AI app that supports MCP servers, such as Cursor, Cline, VS Code or Claude Desktop
- An internet connection
- Optional: a Keenable API key if you want a higher hourly limit (the free keyless level allows 1,000 requests per hour)
Good to know
It only reads the web, so it cannot change or delete anything, but search results and page text come from outside sources and can be wrong, so check important facts yourself.
Install it with your AI
Add Keenable MCP server to your AI, no technical skills needed
You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.
Sign in to get the install prompt
Members get a ready-made prompt that lets the Claude desktop app check Keenable MCP server, install it and connect it for them, step by step. You don't need any technical skills: you copy, paste and answer a few questions. Your connected AI can also find and install any of the 4,066 MCP servers here for you.
Who it's for
Anyone who uses an AI assistant for research, news checks or reading web pages, especially writers, analysts, students and office workers who need current facts.
