SearchMesh + Anthropic API
Free during beta: 1,000 successful tool calls per account each UTC month. Failed calls are not counted.
- Generate a SearchMesh credential below. This is separate from your Anthropic API key.
- Set SEARCHMESH_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in your server-side secret store. Never expose them in browser code.
- Use the Messages API MCP connector with authorization_token set to your SearchMesh credential. The provider API has separate costs.
MCP server URL
https://api.searchmesh.io/mcpThis client authenticates with a credential. Sign in to your dashboard, open Anthropic API under Connect your AI, and generate a key there. Keys are shown once, stored as hashes, and can be revoked individually. Send it as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SEARCHMESH_API_KEY (or X-Api-Key).
