From product capabilities to integration setup, here are the questions we hear most often.

Product

What is AnySearch?

AnySearch is search infrastructure built for AI Agents. We pull together data from many vertical domain datas and give your Agent one place to search it all — structured results, ready to use.

How is AnySearch different from other search tools?

Regular search only covers public web pages. But tons of valuable information isn't on the web at all — stock prices are computed in real time, legal documents live in paid databases, code snippets are spread across millions of repos. Web search can't reach any of this. It's not a gap — it's a wall.

We go straight to where this data lives. You get back structured results, not a list of links.

What makes AnySearch different from other AI search products?

Most AI search products use the same search engine under the hood — different models process the same web pages.

We're built differently. One query searches across multiple vertical domain datas at once, routed by intent, merged and ranked, then returned as the best result. We support MCP and Skill out of the box, with output formatted as structured Markdown for Agents.

Others help AI search the web. We help AI see beyond it.

What domains does AnySearch cover?

Finance, academia, code, security, business, medical & health, patents, energy, environment, agriculture, travel, gaming — and growing.

Search Quality

How does AnySearch evaluate information quality?

We score results on authority, diversity, and freshness, then rank them using our own Cross-source fusion ranking algorithm. What comes back first is what's most reliable and most suitable for Agents.

How fresh are the search results?

We detect freshness intent from your query and route to real-time data automatically — as fast as second-level sync.

Does AnySearch provide structured outputs?

Yes. Every response is structured.

Through MCP or Skill, you get clean, compact Markdown that Agents can use directly — no parsing needed. Fewer results, same or better coverage, much lower Token cost. Through the REST API, you get standard JSON with a consistent schema no matter where the data comes from.

How does AnySearch work with AI Agents?

Two integration options, with identical features:

• MCP Server — Remote, no local setup. One line of config for OpenCode, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, etc.
• Skill Plugin — Runs inside your Agent. Supports Python, Node.js, PowerShell, Bash. Install and it just works.

How it flows: Agent recognizes user intent → sends a query → we handle routing, merging, and ranking → Agent gets structured results and keeps going. You think about "what to search" and "what to do with it." We take care of everything in between.

REST API (POST /v1/search) is also available, but for Agents we recommend MCP or Skill.

Privacy & Security

Are search queries stored?

No. We collect only the minimal usage data needed to improve the product — no personal or query data is stored. Your searches are never used for training and never shared with anyone. Everything is encrypted in transit. Your queries stay yours.

How does AnySearch protect sensitive searches?

Everything is encrypted end to end. Your search content is never stored — we process it and discard it promptly. Credentials are transformed irreversibly. At every layer — transport, processing, storage — sensitive data cannot be recovered or leaked.

How do I get started?

The fastest way: Add our MCP config to your AI tool — one line of JSON and you're searching. You can also call the API directly, no sign-up needed, with free quota out of the box. Check our docs at www.anysearch.com/docs.
