Search for the latest releases of Bun and summarize the performance improvements.

Higher rate limits + full toolset

For unlimited queries plus you-contents (page extraction) and you-research (citation-backed deep research):

1
{
2
  "mcp": {
3
    "you-com": {
4
      "type": "remote",
5
      "url": "https://api.you.com/mcp",
6
      "headers": {
7
        "Authorization": "Bearer YDC-YOUR-API-KEY"
8
      }

    }

  }

}

Get a key at you.com/platform.

Local install (stdio)

If you’d prefer to run the MCP server locally:

1
{
2
  "mcp": {
3
    "you-com": {
4
      "type": "local",
5
      "command": ["npx", "-y", "@youdotcom-oss/mcp"],
6
      "environment": {
7
        "YDC_API_KEY": "YDC-YOUR-API-KEY"
8
      }
9
    }
10
  }
11
}

Omit YDC_API_KEY for free-tier behavior.

Quick demo

Research the OpenCode project: who maintains it, what's the release cadence, and what's on the roadmap.

Extract the README from https://github.com/sst/opencode and summarize the install methods.

Troubleshooting

• Server doesn’t load — check opencode.json is valid JSON. OpenCode silently skips invalid MCP entries.
• spawn npx ENOENT (local install only) — install Node.js 18+ and ensure npx is on your PATH.
• 401 errors — verify the Authorization header is exactly Bearer YDC-... with one space.
• Tool calls fail with no error — check OpenCode’s logs (opencode --debug) for MCP server errors. Most failures are config-format mismatches.
