Overview

Add You.com web search and content extraction as a built-in MCP server preset in SwarmClaw, giving agents access to real-time web information and URL content extraction.

Changes Made

MCP Server Integration

  • Added You.com preset to MCP_PRESETS in mcp-server-sheet.tsx
  • Configured streamable-http transport pointing to https://api.you.com/mcp
  • Set integration User-Agent as youdotcom-integration/swarmclaw-swarmclaw
  • Support optional YDC_API_KEY for authenticated usage (free tier available without keys)

Documentation Updates

  • Updated SwarmClaw skill to mention You.com Search alongside SwarmVault and SwarmDock
  • Created dedicated youcom-search skill with comprehensive usage examples and best practices
  • Updated README to include You.com Search in MCP servers capability overview

Available Tools

Once configured, agents gain access to these MCP tools:

  • mcp_you_com_you_search - Real-time web search with snippets, URLs, and metadata
  • mcp_you_com_you_contents - Extract clean text/markdown from specific URLs
  • mcp_you_com_you_research - One-shot research synthesis with citations

Setup Experience

Users can now:

  1. Go to MCP Servers → Add MCP Server → You.com Search preset
  2. Optionally configure YDC_API_KEY for authenticated usage
  3. Attach the MCP server to agents
  4. Agents immediately have access to web search capabilities

Integration Approach

This follows SwarmClaw's existing MCP preset pattern:

  • Leverages native MCP infrastructure (no custom code paths)
  • Uses established preset system for easy configuration
  • Follows existing documentation conventions
  • Integrates cleanly with agent tool binding

Validation Performed

  • Tests pass (npm test)
  • Linting passes (npm run lint:baseline)
  • No breaking changes to existing functionality
  • Follows SwarmClaw MCP server preset patterns
  • Documentation follows established skill format

Why You.com for SwarmClaw?

SwarmClaw's autonomous agents benefit from real-time web access for:

  • Research agents gathering current market intelligence
  • Content agents fact-checking and source verification
  • Technical agents accessing latest documentation and APIs
  • Multi-agent workflows requiring up-to-date web context

The You.com MCP server provides reliable, rate-limited web access with proper attribution - perfect for production agent workflows.
