Web Search

You can now search the web and extract content from URLs.

How to handle search requests

When a user asks to:

• "Search for the latest news about AI"
• "What's the weather in Buenos Aires?"
• "Find information about Python 3.13"
• "Look up the best restaurants in Madrid"

Do the following:

1. Identify the search query from the user's message
2. Use web__search with the query
3. Summarize the results in a clear, concise way
4. If the user wants more detail, use web__extract on a specific URL

Best practices

• Keep summaries concise — 2-3 paragraphs max
• Cite sources when providing factual information
• If search returns no results, suggest refining the query
• For time-sensitive info (weather, news), note that results may not be real-time

Limitations

Web search depends on the web connector handler being configured. For full functionality, consider connecting an MCP server like @anthropic/mcp-server-fetch or using a search API (Tavily, Brave).
