## About

Kagi's official MCP server gives assistants Kagi web search with page fetching and content extraction. Kagi hosts a remote server that authenticates with your Kagi API key as a bearer token (OAuth is on the roadmap), and the same server runs locally via uvx with KAGI_API_KEY.

## Install

1. **Connect it in ChatGPT** Turn on Developer mode in ChatGPT (Settings → Security and login), open Plugins, select + and paste https://mcp.kagi.com/mcp as the MCP server URL. Add it to a chat from the composer's tools menu.

2. **Or add it to Codex or the API**

   Codex CLI:

   ```bash
   codex mcp add kagi --url https://mcp.kagi.com/mcp --bearer-token-env-var KAGI_API_KEY

   ```toml
   [mcp_servers.kagi]
