Overview

What is MCP Deep Web Research Server?

It is an MCP server that brings real‑time web research into Claude Desktop. It provides intelligent search queuing, enhanced content extraction, and deep research capabilities for users who need structured, sourced information.

How to use MCP Deep Web Research Server?

Install the package globally (npm install -g mcp-deepwebresearch), then install browser dependencies with npx playwright install chromium. Add a deepwebresearch entry to your Claude Desktop config with the command mcp-deepwebresearch. After setup, ask Claude a research question or use the built‑in agentic-research prompt for guided, iterative searching.

FAQ from MCP Deep Web Research Server

What runtime does it require?

Node.js >= 18 and Playwright (installed automatically as a dependency).

How can I fix rate‑limiting errors?

Increase the SEARCH_DELAY_MS environment variable or lower MAX_PARALLEL_SEARCHES.

How do I debug issues?

Check Claude Desktop’s MCP logs (e.g., tail -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log on macOS) or enable debug logging by setting LOG_LEVEL=debug.

What is the default timeout for searches?

The deep_research tool defaults to 55 seconds, and all requests must complete within the 60‑second MCP timeout.

Are there any known limitations?

Parallel searches are capped at 5 concurrent queries, and the server is beta software – some issues may still appear.
