About PoachSearch MCP

This server supports brand protection workflows by observing localized search advertisements, detecting affiliate tracking mechanisms, and verifying brand visibility in various regions. It provides capabilities for executing live searches, conducting comprehensive brand audits, and handling account balance operations.

Access requires OAuth authentication via a browser-based prompt from the vendor. The server connects through a Streamable HTTP endpoint hosted at poachsearch.com.

Prerequisites include obtaining a verification key. Users must request an email, open the provided link to receive a ps_live_… key, and configure the client to send this key as a Bearer header in the authorization. Automatic sign-in is not supported.

Frequently asked questions

What setup is required before using the tools?
You must request a verification email and open the link in your inbox to receive a ps_live_… key. Then, set the authorization header to Bearer followed by that key. The same verified account and balance apply across the web, REST API, and this server.
Can the server identify affiliate tracking in search results?
Yes, the server enables AI agents to identify affiliate tracking within search results. This is one of the core brand protection tasks supported alongside observing localized ads and checking brand presence across multiple countries.
Is automatic sign-in available for this server?
No, automatic sign-in is not available. You must manually obtain the key through email verification first. This ensures the account is verified before the Bearer header can be set with the ps_live_… key.
