What is Infomesh?
Infomesh is a fully decentralized peer-to-peer search engine for LLMs, accessible via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It requires no API keys, credit cards, or usage caps, and is designed for AI developers, open-source assistants, and researchers who need free real-time web search.
How to use Infomesh?
Install Infomesh with pip install infomesh or via the uv package manager. Run the node to join the P2P network, then search from any MCP client, the CLI (infomesh search), Python code, or a local HTTP API. No sign-up or configuration is needed beyond installation.
