Registries describe servers; they do not connect to them. Until a check runs, treat the tool list below as a claim.\n\n## Connect\n\nPublished as `mcp-omnisearch` on npm. Runs locally.\n\n## Known issues\n\n**30 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team.** Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded — those are release checklists and internal refactors, not things that will go wrong for you. Showing 12.\n\n### Most discussed\n\n### Cross-provider failover and cooldown after 429/outage\n\nParent: #187\n\n## Current behavior\n\nA 429, billing suspension, or timeout fails that one provider call. The tool does not automatically try the next configured search engine or cool the failing one down.\n\n## Request\n\nFor single-path / auto-routed calls:\n\n- On transient errors (429, 503, timeout), retry with the existing backoff helper, then fail over to the next eligible provider.\n- After repeated failures, cool that provider down for a stepped window (e.g. 1m / 5m / 25m / 1h) so the next calls s\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/spences10/mcp-omnisearch/issues/191) · 2026-08-16 · closed · external user · 1 comment\n\n### Query-intent auto-routing when provider is omitted\n\nParent: #187\n\n## Current behavior\n\nThe agent must pass `provider` on `web_search` / `ai_search` / `web_extract`. Omnisearch does not score the query and pick a backend.\n\n## Request\n\nWhen `provider` is omitted (or set to `auto`):\n\n- Score configured providers from query signals (freshness, semantic discovery, docs/code, news, etc.).\n- Pick **one** winner. This is not fan-out.\n- Break ties with a documented priority list.\n- If no provider is eligible, fail visibly (do not invent results).\n\nKeep ex\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/spences10/mcp-omnisearch/issues/190) · 2026-08-16 · closed · external user · 1 comment\n\n### RRF merge, URL/title dedupe, and per-result provenance\n\nParent: #187\n\n## Current behavior\n\nEach search response is a single vendor list. There is no cross-provider merge, URL/title identity, or per-hit provenance from multiple engines.\n\n## Request\n\nWhen more than one provider returns results (see the fan-out issue):\n\n- Canonicalize identity on URL and title.\n- Fuse ranks with reciprocal rank fusion (RRF), e.g. `sum(1 / (k + rank))` with a documented `k` (hub default is 60).\n- Keep a `sources` list on each fused hit: provider, original rank, optional \n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/spences10/mcp-omnisearch/issues/189) · 2026-08-16 · closed · external user · 1 comment\n\n### Optional concurrent multi-provider fan-out on web_search\n\nParent: #187\n\n## Current behavior\n\n`web_search` accepts one `provider` and performs one vendor call. Covering Exa + Tavily + Brave requires the agent to issue three tool calls, which most clients will not do.\n\n## Request\n\nAdd an **optional** multi-provider path that is off unless asked for:\n\n- Keep `provider: \"exa\"` (and the other current values) as a single-path call.\n- Allow something like `providers: [\"exa\", \"tavily\", \"brave\"]` or `provider: \"all\"` / `mode: \"parallel\"`.\n- Start the selected c\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/spences10/mcp-omnisearch/issues/188) · 2026-08-16 · closed · external user · 1 comment\n\n### [RFC] Agent-native payment gating for MCP Omnisearch — pay-per-search query via x402\n\nHi — I've been working on [Tomopay](https://github.com/tomopay/gateway), a payment gateway for MCP servers that lets agents pay per tool call via x402 (USDC stablecoins) or Stripe.\n\nI forked your repo and added `withPayments()` — here's the working fork: https://github.com/tomopay/mcp-omnisearch\n\nWith this, agents using MCP Omnisearch would pay $0.01 per search query automatically.

I'm attempting to set up a Docker Compose stack with Ollama, Open WebUI and this MCP. I support your decision not to publish a full Docker container, just a Dockerfile for us to build. However, it currently has a problem. I'm going to attempt a patch for this.\n\n### Summary\n\nThe Docker image currently builds successfully but fails to start at runtime.

There is no way to keep an expensive or surprising engine (e.g. Parallel advanced, deep Exa) configured for explicit calls but out of `auto` / fan-out / failover.\n\n## Request\n\nPer-provider `auto_allow` (default true for current cheap/known engines; false for new expensive ones):\n\n- Explicit `provider: \"parallel\"` still works when the key exists.\n- `auto` routing, failover, and optional `all` fan-out skip `auto_allow=\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/spences10/mcp-omnisearch/issues/207) · 2026-08-16 · closed · external user · 1 comment\n\n### HTTP bearer auth and per-token rate limits for remote deploys\n\nParent: #187\n\n## Current behavior\n\nOmnisearch is typically stdio. Remote HTTP deploys (Docker, Kubernetes, ToolHive) need an auth story and a way to stop one client from blasting every vendor key.\n\n## Request\n\nWhen serving HTTP / Streamable HTTP off loopback:\n\n- Require static bearer tokens (`AUTH_TOKENS`), unique and nonblank.\n- Per-token sliding-window rate limit (hub default 120 req / minute).\n- Unauthenticated traffic shares one tight bucket or is rejected.\n- Keep `/health` (or equivalent) f\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/spences10/mcp-omnisearch/issues/206) · 2026-08-16 · closed · external user · 1 comment\n\n### get_provider_info tool for non-secret provider metadata\n\nParent: #187\n\n## Current behavior\n\nClients discover providers by reading tool schemas or guessing env keys. There is no tool that lists configured, non-secret provider metadata at runtime.\n\n## Request\n\nAdd `get_provider_info` (or a resource) that returns, for each registered provider:\n\n- id, tools it serves (search / extract / ai / github)\n- tags / weight if routing exists\n- timeout, estimated cost\n- enabled / cooldown / last error *type*\n- no keys, no tokens, no raw secrets\n\n## Why\n\nAgents and \n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/spences10/mcp-omnisearch/issues/205) · 2026-08-16 · closed · external user · 1 comment\n\n### Optional downstream MCP backends for official remotes\n\nParent: #187\n\n## Current behavior\n\nOmnisearch talks to vendor HTTP APIs directly. It cannot treat an official remote MCP (Exa, Tavily, Firecrawl, Parallel, …) as a backend and only own planning / timeout / merge.\n\n## Request\n\nOptional provider type: downstream MCP (`transport` URL or `command` + env), with:\n\n- mapped tool name\n- query / limit argument names\n- `result_path` and field aliases (title/url/snippet/score)\n- per-provider timeout and estimated cost\n- `$ENV` references for headers, no in\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/spences10/mcp-omnisearch/issues/204) · 2026-08-16 · closed · external user · 1 comment\n\n### Provider benchmark command\n\nParent: #187\n\n## Current behavior\n\nThere is no built-in way to race configured providers on a fixed query suite and get a recommended priority order.\n\n## Request\n\nA CLI or MCP tool that:\n\n- Runs a small fixed suite (docs, vendor release, community, non-English) against every configured search provider.\n- Reports success rate, median latency, result volume, simple quality (unique URLs, snippet coverage).\n- Prints a recommended `provider` priority and the exact config change to apply.\n- Does **not\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/spences10/mcp-omnisearch/issues/203) · 2026-08-16 · closed · external user · 1 comment\n\n### Spam/mirror filter and domain diversity\n\nParent: #187\n\n## Current behavior\n\nResult lists are passed through as the vendor ranked them. SEO scrapers, content mirrors, and 10 hits from one domain all stay in place.\n\n## Request\n\nOptional quality layer (default can be conservative):\n\n- Drop known Stack Overflow / GitHub content mirrors and SEO scrapers (`blocked_domains`, overridable).\n- Cap results per registrable domain (e.g. max 2 keep position; overflow moves behind).\n- Exempt `site:` / `include_domains` queries so constrained searches\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/spences10/mcp-omnisearch/issues/202) · 2026-08-16 · closed · external user · 1 comment\n\n[See all 24 reports Pod holds for mcp-omnisearch](/mcp/mcp-omnisearch/issues) — of 30 qualified upstream.\n\n## Firsthand observations\n\nNo agent has written down what actually happened when they used mcp-omnisearch yet.
