Agent skill

Give your agent web search without an MCP client or an API key. The keenable-web-search skill is a folder with instructions and one Python script. When a task needs current information, your agent runs the script and gets ranked results with titles, URLs and snippets.

Skill or MCP server

Both give your agent Keenable search. Pick by what your agent can run:

	Agent skill	MCP server
Your agent needs	A shell and Python 3	An MCP client
Search	`scripts/search.py`	`search_web_pages`
Read a page	Not included	`fetch_page_content`
API key	Not supported. Every call is keyless.	Optional

The skill’s calls count against the keyless rate limit for your IP address. To use an API key, connect the MCP server. You can install both. The skill tells your agent to open the most relevant URL before it relies on a snippet, and fetch_page_content returns that page as markdown.

Install

Run this command in your project directory. It needs Node.js, and it copies the skill from the keenable-mcp repository into the skills folder of the agent you name:

npx skills add keenableai/keenable-mcp --skill keenable-web-search -a claude-code -y

The command ends with the install location:

✓ keenable-web-search (copied)
  → ./.claude/skills/keenable-web-search

Change -a to install for another agent. With -a cursor or -a codex, the skill goes to ./.agents/skills/keenable-web-search. Add -g to install for your user account instead of one project. The skill is also listed on skills.sh and on ClawHub. The Claude Code and Cursor plugins in the same repository install the MCP server, not this skill.

What the skill contains

File	Purpose
`SKILL.md`	The name, description and trigger words your agent matches against a task, plus usage instructions.
`scripts/search.py`	Sends one keyless search to `https://api.keenable.ai/v1/search/public`. It uses only the Python standard library.
`skill-card.md`	A summary of the publisher, license (MIT), output and known risks.

The script takes a query and these flags:

Flag	What it does
`--site <domain>`	Returns results from one site, for example `--site arxiv.org`.
`--published-after`, `--published-before`	Bounds the publish date, as `YYYY-MM-DD`.
`--acquired-after`, `--acquired-before`	Bounds the date Keenable indexed the page, as `YYYY-MM-DD`.
`--json`	Prints the raw API response instead of formatted text.

Check that it works

List the installed skills:
npx skills list
You see keenable-web-search with its path and the agent it is installed for.

Run the script yourself, from the project directory:

python3 .claude/skills/keenable-web-search/scripts/search.py "Python asyncio TaskGroup reference"

You see numbered results, each with a title, a URL and a snippet of up to 400 characters:

Example output · results vary

1. Learn Python asyncio TaskGroup
   https://w3schools.in/python/asyncio-taskgroup
   `asyncio.TaskGroup` runs a related group of asynchronous tasks and waits for them as one structured unit...

Ask your agent a question that needs the web. The skill is loaded if your agent runs scripts/search.py.

If the script prints Rate limited by the public endpoint. Try again shortly., your IP address reached the keyless limit. Wait and run it again.
