Quick Start — Add Web Search to Claude Code in 30 Seconds

1. Get a free API key

Visit contextwire.dev and sign up. Instant key, no credit card.

2. Add to your MCP config

Claude Code (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextwire": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://contextwire.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextwire": {
      "type": "streamable-http", 
      "url": "https://contextwire.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart your editor

Run /mcp in Claude Code to verify. You should see 5 tools:
