Search Router
Let your agent pick among four web-search depth tiers—from quick facts to deep, cached research—with x402 USDC on Base per tier.
Overview
io.github.Ainode-tech/search-router is an Idea-phase MCP server that offers four web-search tiers (simple, medium, deep, cached) with x402 USDC on Base and a free health endpoint.
What is this MCP server?
- Four search tiers: simple, medium, deep, and cached
- Remote MCP at search.api.ainode.tech/mcp (streamable-http)
- x402 USDC on Base pricing aligned to search depth
- Free health check before routing paid searches
- Version 0.1.1 as io.github.Ainode-tech/search-router
- 4 web-search tiers: simple, medium, deep, cached
- Server version 0.1.1
- x402 USDC on Base billing
What problem does it solve?
Builders waste time swapping search APIs or over-paying for deep crawls when a quick lookup would suffice because agents lack a tiered search router.
Who is it for?
Solo builders doing competitor and market research inside MCP agents who want one remote server with explicit simple/medium/deep/cached modes.
Skip if: Users who require fully offline search, unlimited flat-fee enterprise SERP contracts, or fine-grained DOM scraping inside authenticated web apps.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can choose the right search depth per task so early research stays fast, cheaper on shallow queries, and thorough when you explicitly need deep or cached results.
- Remote MCP config for search.api.ainode.tech/mcp
- Agent-accessible simple, medium, deep, and cached search tools
- Documented health-check pass before paid research runs
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Early journey research is when solo builders validate markets and competitors; a search MCP belongs on the Idea phase shelf. Research subphase covers web discovery and competitive scans that agents perform through tiered search tools rather than manual tabs.
How it compares
Tiered paid web-search MCP, not a browser-automation skill or SEO content optimizer.

How do I add io.github.Ainode-tech/search-router to my agent?
Add https://search.api.ainode.tech/mcp as a streamable-http MCP remote in your agent settings, confirm the free health check, and configure x402 USDC on Base for paid tier calls.
