A2ASearch MCP

Help your assistant find a tool, inspect it, and understand how to set it up.

Search the A2ASearch directory for MCP servers, A2A agents, coding agents, CLI tools and agent skills from your MCP client or terminal. A2ASearch is free to query and requires no API key. Individual services may require credentials or payment.

Try a useful workflow

Ask your assistant:

Find MCP servers for extracting tables from PDFs. Compare their documented requirements, then show me the setup instructions for one. Tell me when pricing or authentication is unknown.

The assistant can follow this sequence:

search_agents({"query":"PDF","type":"MCP Server","limit":3})
    → names, capabilities, source links and slugs
get_agent({"slug":""})
    → description, README, documentation and repository links
get_setup({"slug":""})
    → setup excerpts, quoted JSON examples and next steps

For example, the Doc2X MCP listing links to a repository whose README contains setup instructions and a configuration example with a DOC2X_API_KEY placeholder. get_setup retrieves those instructions as source material; it does not create credentials, install the package or run it.

Install

Requires Node.js 22 or newer. CI tests Node.js 22 and 24.

For Claude Desktop, add this entry to claude_desktop_config.json. For Cursor, use .cursor/mcp.json. Merge it with your existing configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "a2asearch": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "a2asearch-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Other clients that support local stdio MCP servers can launch command npx with arguments -y a2asearch-mcp; use the configuration format documented by your client.

For a reproducible install, pin the package version in the arguments, for example [email protected] after that release is published. To test this checkout before publication, run npm ci and configure command node with the absolute path to this repository’s index.js.
