## Overview
MCP provides a standardized way for applications to:
* Share contextual information with language models
* Expose tools and capabilities to AI systems
* Build composable integrations and workflows

Questions about the search API
How do I run a web search and get page content in one API call?
Send POST /v2/lookup with a query and set perceive_top from 0 to 10. That many top results are rendered in a real browser, and each carries an inline perceive object whose Markdown sits behind a pre-signed URL at perceive.outputs.markdown.url.
Which search categories does it support?
Six: web (the default), news, images, scholar, patents and maps. The universal fields (title, url, snippet, position) are always typed, and category-specific extras land in extra.
Am I locked in to one search provider?
No. Serper is the search provider behind it, but the request and response speak a neutral vocabulary (category, country, locale, time_filter), so a provider swap does not change the contract you code against.
Why did it read fewer pages than my perceive_top?
Auto-perceive skips results with no url, stops if the monthly ops allowance runs out mid-loop, and degrades a failed render to a warning. The response’s perceive_top reports how many pages were read, and warnings explains the gaps.
What does it cost?
One op per query, plus one op for each result it reads. Lookup is available on every plan, and the free Founding plan includes 500 ops a month with no credit card.
