feat: add optional you.com MCP server integration - #504
Conversation
- Add You.com MCP server configuration and skills system - Add youcom CLI commands: config, install, search - Include you-web and you-discover skills in packages/cli/skills/ - Support authenticated (YDC_API_KEY), keyless, and docs MCP servers - Add comprehensive README documentation with setup instructions - Leverages existing CLI architecture and follows TanStack conventions The integration provides optional You.com search, content extraction, and research capabilities through MCP servers, enabling developers to access web information directly through the TanStack CLI and connected MCP clients. Usage: - npx @tanstack/cli youcom config # Show MCP server configuration - npx @tanstack/cli youcom install # Install You.com skills - npx @tanstack/cli youcom search <query> # Search You.com API Integrates cleanly with TanStack CLI's existing command structure, telemetry system, and JSON output options for agent-friendly usage.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe CLI adds You.com search, MCP configuration, and skill installation commands. It adds You.com skill and server manifests, workflow documentation, typed API helpers, and README setup guidance. ChangesYou.com integration
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR currently cannot be considered merge-ready because the core search integration may return no results, the install command can report success without installing anything, and remote content can inject terminal control sequences; incorrect skill references, documentation, and lint violations also require correction before release.

- Line 34: Update the fallback guidance in the you-web skill to reference the
existing you-com-free MCP server profile instead of the nonexistent you-free
skill, preserving the condition for unavailable auth and non-x402-aware clients.
- Around line 3-4: Update the SKILL.md compatibility description to restrict
x402/MPP payment-aware access and retries to the you-search tool; remove
you-contents from the payment-related wording while retaining its role in URL
content extraction and the other existing tool descriptions.
In `@packages/cli/src/cli.ts`:
- Around line 29-33: Reorder the named imports in the youcom-search import block
so getYouComMCPConfig and installYouComSkills appear before searchYouCom,
satisfying the enforced alphabetic member-order rule.
- Around line 2008-2013: Sanitize the untrusted result.title, result.url, and
result.snippet values in the payload.results display loop before passing them to
console.log, removing ANSI and other terminal control sequences while preserving
their visible text. Leave raw fields unchanged for --json output.
In `@packages/cli/src/youcom-search.ts`:
- Line 12: Update the results type annotation from YouComSearchResult[] to
Array<YouComSearchResult> to satisfy the configured
`@typescript-eslint/array-type` rule.
- Around line 122-134: The installYouComSkills command currently only reads

🌐 Web query:
According to the current You.com MCP Server documentation, which MCP tools support x402 or MPP payment-aware retries?
💡 Result:
According to the current You.com documentation, the you-search tool is the specific tool that supports payment-aware retries using the x402 or MPP protocols [1][2]. In the You.com MCP Server architecture, these payment-aware mechanisms allow a payment-capable client to handle a 402 Payment Required response as a challenge, settle the charge, and retry the tool call [1][2]. While you-search is explicitly highlighted as applying to these payment-aware flows in You.com's documentation, broader x402 and MPP frameworks are designed to support generic MCP tool calls when implemented via compatible SDKs or middleware [3][4][5].

site:you.com/docs/build-with-agents/mcp-server "you-contents" x402 MPP payment
💡 Result:
The term x402 and MPP (Machine Payments) refer to protocols used by You.com’s MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to facilitate autonomous payments for tool usage [1]. When a user or agent invokes a tool—specifically you-search—the server may return a 402 Payment Required status as a challenge [1]. A payment-capable client handles this by recognizing the payment header (PAYMENT-SIGNATURE for x402 or Authorization: Payment for MPP) and settling the required charge using its own wallet before retrying the tool call [1]. This mechanism allows for frictionless, credential-free access to services with no daily caps [1].

🌐 Web query:
site:you.com/docs/build-with-agents/mcp-server "you-search" "you-contents" "payment"
💡 Result:
You.com provides access to tools like you-search and you-contents through its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which supports both free and payment-based access models [1]. For the you-search tool, users can access it via a free tier that requires no credentials, limited to 100 queries per day, by connecting to the profile endpoint at?profile=free [1]. Alternatively, it supports a payment-aware model (x402 or MPP) where no daily cap is applied; in this setup, the server handles payment headers, allowing clients to settle charges for individual requests [1]. The you-contents tool, which is used to extract full-page content from URLs, is included in the default MCP endpoint and typically requires authentication, such as a Bearer token or OAuth 2.1, or an API key (YDC_API_KEY) [1]. Unlike the free profile for you-search, you-contents is explicitly excluded from the unauthenticated free tier [1]. Users are encouraged to scope their agent workflows to use you-search and you-contents together as a cost-effective pattern for research, keeping more complex tools like you-research separate [1].

What are the current You.com Web Search API request URL, API-key header, and JSON response path for web search results?
💡 Result:
To use the You.com Web Search API, use the following technical specifications: Request URL The endpoint for web searches is: https://ydc-index.io/v1/search [1][2]. Requests must be made using the POST method [3][4]. API-key Header You must include your API key in the X-API-Key header for every request [1]. Example header: -H "X-API-Key: <your_api_key>" [1][2]. JSON Response Path The API returns a structured JSON object containing a results object [3][5]. The web search results are located within the results.web path [5][6][7]. A typical JSON response structure includes: { "results": { "web": [ { "url": "...", "title": "...", "description": "...", "snippets": ["..."] } ], "news": [...] }, "metadata": { "query": "...", "search_uuid": "...", "latency":... } } [5][7] For detailed integration, refer to the official You.com API documentation [3][4].

💡 Result:
The You.com Search API endpoint is located at https://ydc-index.io/v1/search [1]. You should use the POST method to access this endpoint, as it supports modern features such as advanced extraction modes (highlights and full-page content) that are not available in the legacy GET method [1]. Authentication: To authenticate your requests, include your API key in the request header using the key X-API-Key [1]. Request Structure: The endpoint expects a JSON object in the body of your POST request [1]. The required field is query, which contains the search string. Other optional parameters include: - count: Specifies the number of results (1-100, default is 10). - offset: The starting point for pagination (0-9). - freshness: Filters results by time (e.g., day, week, month, year, or a specific date range). - country: Determines the geographical focus of the search results. - language: Sets the language (defaults to EN). - extraction: An object that allows you to request query-aware highlights or full-page content from search results instead of standard snippets [1]. Example Usage: When using the POST method, ensure your Content-Type header is set to application/json. { "query": "your search query here", "count": 10, "extraction": { "extraction_mode": "highlights" } } The API is specifically optimized for LLM applications, allowing you to feed relevant search content directly into your models [1].

🌐 Web query:
What is the current official You.com MCP configuration example for a remote HTTP MCP client and for the local npm package?
💡 Result:
The You.com Model Context Protocol (MCP) server can be configured either as a remote HTTP service or locally using an npm package. Official documentation recommends the remote HTTP server as the fastest path, while the local npm package is suited for environments requiring STDIO transport [1][2][3]. Remote HTTP Client Configuration For clients that support HTTP transport, point to the You.com MCP endpoint [1][4]. Authenticate using a bearer API key or OAuth 2.1 (if supported by your client) [1][2]. Example configuration for clients (e.g., Claude Desktop): { "mcpServers": { "ydc-server": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.you.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YDC_API_KEY>" } } } } Note: Some clients (such as Cursor) require omitting the "type": "http" field [5]. Additionally, if using the free tier (no API key/account required), you can use the URL https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free [5][4]. Local npm Package Configuration The local package (@youdotcom-oss/mcp) uses STDIO transport and is configured by invoking npx [1][6][3]. Example configuration: { "mcpServers": { "ydc-server": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@youdotcom-oss/mcp"], "env": { "YDC_API_KEY": "<YDC_API_KEY>", "YDC_ALLOWED_TOOLS": "you-search,you-finance" } } } } Key Details: - API Key: Set YDC_API_KEY in the environment for higher rate limits and full tool access [1][3]. - Free Tier: Run without an API key for search-only access, or set YDC_PROFILE=free to enforce this mode [1][6][3]. - Tool Scoping: Use the YDC_ALLOWED_TOOLS environment variable (comma-separated IDs) to limit exposed tools [1][3]. - Client Variations: Note that some clients (e.g., VS Code) use a different top-level configuration key, such as mcp.servers, rather than mcpServers [7]. Always verify your client's specific JSON structure [1][7].

Replace the unrelated MCP server example with a You.com configuration.
@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything does not connect to You.com. Configure Claude Desktop with https://api.you.com/mcp and an Authorization: Bearer <YDC_API_KEY> header, or use npx -y @youdotcom-oss/mcp`` for STDIO transport. (you.com)

In `@README.md` around lines 140 - 152, Update the Claude Desktop MCP
configuration example to use the You.com server: configure the HTTP endpoint at
https://api.you.com/mcp with an Authorization Bearer header sourced from
YDC_API_KEY, or provide the npx -y `@youdotcom-oss/mcp` STDIO configuration.
Remove the unrelated `@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything` example while
preserving the surrounding documentation.

Summary
This PR adds optional You.com MCP server integration to TanStack CLI, enabling developers to access You.com's search, content extraction, and research capabilities directly through the CLI and connected MCP clients.
What Changed
Core Integration
Technical Implementation
Why This Integration Fits
Perfect Distribution Surface
TanStack CLI explicitly supports MCP servers and agent skills installation. The CLI's GitHub description mentions "MCP Server, Agent Skills Installation," making this an ideal integration surface for You.com capabilities.
Leverages Existing Architecture
High-Value Platform
TanStack serves the entire JavaScript ecosystem with Router, Query, Table, Form, and other widely-used libraries. The CLI is a central hub for developers across the TanStack ecosystem, providing high visibility for You.com integration.
Usage Examples
MCP Servers Provided
you-com: Authenticated server with full capabilities (search, content, research, discover)
you-com-free: Keyless basic search server
you-docs: You.com documentation search
Skills Included

Community Precedent
TanStack CLI previously included MCP server capabilities but moved to CLI introspection. This integration provides a clean path to re-add optional MCP capabilities through You.com's established MCP infrastructure, benefiting both communities.
The integration leverages TanStack's existing skills and MCP architecture rather than adding custom code, making it a natural addition to the CLI ecosystem.
