you.com
You.com provides APIs and agent tooling for real-time web search, webpage content extraction, and citation-backed research. Its platform also includes hosted agent endpoints and an MCP server for connecting these capabilities to IDEs and AI clients.
you.com exposes HTTP APIs for search, contents extraction, research, finance research, billing, live news, images, and agents, plus a hosted MCP server at `https://api.you.com/mcp` with both OAuth and API-key access and a public free-profile variant.

Sign in at You.com Platform, open the API Keys page, click Create API Key, name it, and copy it immediately because the full value is only shown once. Store it in YDC_API_KEY, which the docs call the canonical environment variable name across SDKs and integrations.
The Agents API docs show bearer-token auth (Authorization: Bearer <token>), but the public docs pages reviewed do not explain where developers mint this token. Use the token issued for your You.com agent/account workflow if available in your platform access.
Point your MCP client at the server URL and approve access in the browser. The server supports OAuth Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), so the client registers itself automatically — no developer-portal app, client_id, or client_secret to create.
