SDKs & tools overview
SDKs & tools overview
You.com meets your agents wherever they run — MCP clients, Python and TypeScript codebases, Claude Skills, and the major agent frameworks. Every tool in this section wraps the same three APIs: Search, Contents, and Research. Switching between integrations is a transport change, not a capability change. One API key works across everything.
Install our docs MCP server
This documentation ships with a Docs MCP Server that gives any MCP-enabled agent a searchDocs tool to search every page here and get back relevant passages with source URLs — no API key required. Point your client at https://you.com/docs/_mcp/server. See the Docs MCP Server guide for setup and examples.
Choose Your Path
Connect Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, or any MCP client with minimal config.
Add typed clients with async support, retries, and full Search, Contents, and Research coverage.
Install drop-in capability modules that give Claude grounded web search.
Use native tools and retrievers for crewAI, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, n8n, OpenAI GPT OSS, Zapier, and more.
Find You.com across MCP marketplaces, cloud marketplaces, AI frameworks, and developer tools.
Most Common Setups
Building an agent in an IDE
Use the MCP Server. Five-line config, works with Claude Code and every major IDE. Run it locally without an API key to start, or connect to the remote server for OAuth 2.1 auth and higher rate limits.
Building a production agent in code
Use the Python SDK or TypeScript SDK, depending on your stack. Layer in a framework integration if you’re using LangChain, LangGraph, or the Vercel AI SDK.
Adding web grounding to Claude
Use Skills. Ships as a capability module Claude can invoke directly — works with the Claude Agent SDK and Claude.ai.
How It Works
Every integration in this section hits the same APIs:
- Search — live-crawled web and news results with LLM-ready snippets
- Contents — full page content extraction from URLs you already have
- Research — multi-step synthesis for deep information gathering
- Finance Research — citation-backed answers from a finance-optimized index (available via MCP as
you-finance)
That means:
- You get the same data, the same filtering controls, and the same rate limits regardless of which integration you pick
- Switching between MCP and the SDKs — or between frameworks — is a transport change, not a capability change
One API key works across every surface
You can start with MCP, move into an SDK, and add framework integrations later without changing the underlying API capabilities.
Integrations
Third-party framework, platform, and open-model integrations live on the Integrations page — crewAI, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, n8n, Zapier, OpenAI GPT OSS, and more as they ship.
