}Use Web Search MCP with multiple AI models
TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so once Web Search is connected, you can use it with different AI models in TypingMind instead of setting it up separately for each model. This MCP connects through a hosted MCP server URL in TypingMind.
Add an MCP server URL
Use this when Web Search is already hosted remotely or your team wants one shared connector that multiple users can access.
Open MCP connectors
In TypingMind, go to Plugins, open MCP connectors, then choose Add URL.
- Open TypingMind in your browser.
- Go to Plugins.
- Open MCP connectors.
- Click Add URL.
Paste the server URL
Enter https://api.z.ai/api/mcp/web_search_prime/mcp in the Server URL field. Add a connection name, description, icon, custom HTTP headers, or OAuth client settings if the server requires them.
- Paste https://api.z.ai/api/mcp/web_search_prime/mcp into the Server URL field.
- Enter a connection name for Web Search.
- Add a description and icon if you want it to be easier to identify.
- Add custom HTTP headers or OAuth client details if the server requires authentication.
Create the connection
Click Create connection, then return to the Plugins list and confirm the new MCP connection is active.
- Click Create connection.
- Return to the MCP connectors list.
- Confirm the Web Search connection appears as active.
- Refresh the plugin list if the connection does not appear immediately.
Switch models without reconnecting
Start a chat with your preferred model, enable the Web Search tools from Plugins, and switch to another model whenever needed. The MCP connection stays available to the TypingMind workspace.
- Start a new chat in TypingMind.
- Select the AI model you want to use.
- Enable the Web Search tools from Plugins.
- Ask the model to use the tool when needed.
- Switch to another AI model and reuse the same MCP connection.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Web Search MCP server used for?
Web Search is an MCP server that lets compatible AI clients connect to external tools and context. In TypingMind, you can add this MCP server once and make its tools available in your AI workspace.
Can I use Web Search MCP with multiple AI models in TypingMind?
Yes. TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so you can use Web Search with different AI models such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or other models you have configured in TypingMind without setting up the MCP server separately for each model.
Why use Web Search MCP with TypingMind?
TypingMind is one of the best frontends for LLM chat because it brings multiple AI models, prompts, plugins, AI agents, API keys, and MCP tools into one workspace. With Web Search connected, you can use its MCP tools across your preferred models while keeping your chat workflow organized in TypingMind.
How do I connect Web Search MCP to TypingMind?
Web Search can be connected in TypingMind by adding its hosted MCP server URL. This is useful when you want a remote MCP connection that is available from your TypingMind workspace.
What tools does Web Search MCP provide in TypingMind?
Web Search exposes MCP capabilities that can be enabled from the TypingMind Plugins page and used in chat or assigned to AI agents.
Do I need to share my API keys with TypingMind to use Web Search MCP?
No. TypingMind is local-first and lets you keep your model providers, API keys, prompts, and MCP configuration under your control. If Web Search requires authentication, add the required headers, OAuth settings, or local configuration for that MCP server when you create the connection.
