web-retrieval-mcp

An open-source MCP server providing high-fidelity web search via Exa or Tavily and tiered web fetch capabilities (Exa, Camoufox, Tavily, Firecrawl) with SSRF guards. It serves as a drop-in replacement for built-in WebSearch/WebFetch tools in agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Grok, offering explicit provenance, local caching, and specialized search for AI/ML papers and developer sources.
