Frequently asked questions

1

What is IndexNow and how does this server relate to it?

IndexNow is a simple protocol that lets websites notify search engines when content is created, updated, or deleted. This server allows MCP clients to send those notifications programmatically.

2

What are the prerequisites for using this server?

You must own a website and set up an IndexNow key by placing a verification text file on your web server (following IndexNow’s official documentation). The key is required when submitting URLs.

3

Can I use a different IndexNow API endpoint?

Yes. Set the `INDEXNOW_API_BASE` environment variable to a different endpoint (e.g., `https://www.bing.com/indexnow`). The default is `https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow`.

4

How do I keep my IndexNow key secret from the AI assistant?

Set the `INDEXNOW_SECRET_KEY` environment variable in the MCP server configuration. The server will use that key by default, and it will not be visible to the assistant.

5

Which search engines are supported?

Any search engine that participates in the IndexNow protocol, including Bing, Yandex, Seznam.cz, Naver, and Yep. Submitted events are shared among participants.
