Solo builders waste time on single-engine search and manual copy-paste from GitHub, Zhihu, CSDN, and forums during research.
Who is it for?
Builders who research in Claude Code and want fast, multi-source search including Chinese tech communities and Exa.
Skip if: Teams that forbid external search MCPs or only need one English-only engine occasionally.

Recommended Marketplaces
Journey fit
Idea / research is the canonical shelf because parallel search across engines supports discovery before build, with reuse during Build and Operate investigations. Research subphase fits broad discovery across Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Baidu, CSDN, Juejin, Exa, Zhihu, and LinuxDo.
How it compares
Multi-engine search MCP marketplace, not a codegen or planning skill.
