Overview

What is Developer Research MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides structured web search capabilities for AI agents and development tools. It initially uses OpenRouter for its search functionality and is built with an extensible architecture to support additional research providers in the future.

How to use Developer Research MCP Server?

Install Node.js v18+, clone the repository, run npm install and npm build, then configure environment variables (e.g., OPENROUTER_API_KEY) in a .env file. The server communicates over stdio and can be integrated into clients like Roo Code by adding its configuration to .roo/mcp.json.

Key features of Developer Research MCP Server

  • Web search via providers like OpenRouter.
  • Optimized for technical and software development content.
  • Extensible architecture for multiple research providers.
  • Reliable error handling and retry mechanisms.
  • Returns structured JSON results.

Use cases of Developer Research MCP Server

  • AI agents performing real-time web searches for technical queries.
  • Developers retrieving up-to-date documentation or code examples.
  • Integrating web research into automated development workflows.
  • Querying focused technical or development-oriented search results.

Frequently asked questions

1

What tools does this server provide?

It provides one tool: `search_web`, which performs a web search and returns results in a structured JSON format.

2

What parameters does the search_web tool accept?

It accepts a required `query` string, an optional `num_results` (1–10, default 5), and an optional `focus` (values: "technical", "development", or "general", default "technical").

3

How do I add a new research provider?

The modular architecture allows adding providers by implementing a common interface; each provider becomes a distinct module independent of others.

4

What environment variables are required?

`OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is required for the OpenRouter provider. `OPENROUTER_API_URL` is optional and defaults to `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1`.

5

How is the server installed and configured?

Clone the repo, run `npm install` and `npm build`, create a `.env` file with your API key, then point the client (e.g., Roo Code) to the built `index.js` with the environment loaded.
