## Why GPT Researcher MCP?
While LLM apps can access web search tools with MCP, **GPT Researcher MCP delivers deep research results.** Standard search tools return raw results requiring manual filtering, often containing irrelevant sources and wasting context window space.
GPT Researcher autonomously explores and validates numerous sources, focusing only on relevant, trusted and up-to-date information. Though slightly slower than standard search (~30 seconds wait), it delivers:
- ✨ Higher quality information
- 📊 Optimized context usage
- 🔎 Comprehensive results
- 🧠 Better reasoning for LLMs

- `quick_search`: Performs a fast web search optimized for speed over quality, returning search results with snippets. Supports any GPTR supported web retriever such as Tavily, Bing, Google, etc... Learn more [here](https://docs.gptr.dev/docs/gpt-researcher/search-engines/retrievers)
- `write_report`: Generate a report based on research results
- `get_research_sources`: Get the sources used in the research
- `get_research_context`: Get the full context of the research
### Prompts
- `research_query`: Create a research query prompt
## Prerequisites
Before running the MCP server, make sure you have:
1. Python 3.10 or higher installed
2. API keys for the services you plan to use:
- [OpenAI API key](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)
- [Tavily API key](https://app.tavily.com)
## ⚙️ Installation
1. Clone the GPT Researcher repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/assafelovic/gpt-researcher.git
cd gpt-researcher
```
2. Install the gptr-mcp dependencies:
```bash
cd gptr-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
3. Set up your environment variables:
- Copy the `.env.example` file to create a new file named `.env`:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
- Edit the `.env` file and add your API keys and configure other settings:
```bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
TAVILY_API_KEY=your_tavily_api_key
```
You can also add any other env variable for your GPT Researcher configuration.
## 🚀 Running the MCP Server
You can start the MCP server in two ways:
### Method 1: Directly using Python
```bash
python server.py
```
### Method 2: Using the MCP CLI (if installed)
```bash
mcp run server.py
```
Once the server is running, you'll see output indicating that the server is ready to accept connections.
## Integrating with Claude
You can integrate your MCP server with Claude using:
**[Claude Desktop Integration](https://docs.gptr.dev/docs/gpt-researcher/mcp-server/claude-integration)** - For using with Claude desktop application on Mac
For detailed instructions, follow the link above.
## 💻 Claude Desktop Integration
To integrate your locally running MCP server with Claude for Mac, you'll need to:
1. Make sure the MCP server is installed and running
2. Configure Claude Desktop:
- Locate or create the configuration file at `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- Add your local GPT Researcher MCP server to the configuration
- Restart Claude to apply the configuration
For complete step-by-step instructions, see the [Claude Desktop Integration guide](https://docs.gptr.dev/docs/gpt-researcher/mcp-server/claude-integration).
