SDKs & tools overview
SDKs & tools overview
You.com meets your agents wherever they run—MCP clients, Python and TypeScript codebases, agent skills and plugins, and the major agent frameworks. Every tool in this section wraps the same four APIs: Search, Contents, Research, and Finance Research. Switching between integrations is a transport change, not a capability change. One API key works across everything.
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 five host-agnostic skills for grounded search, cited research, finance, and integration discovery.
Host-native install paths for Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Pi, and Hermes.
Use native tools and retrievers for crewAI, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, Temporal, 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 a coding agent
Use Skills. The same five skills run in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI, Kimi Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Pi, and Hermes. Install them with npx skills add youdotcom-oss/agent-skills or through your platform’s plugin path.
How It Works
Every integration in this section hits the same APIs:
- Search—web and news results with LLM-ready snippets, plus optional highlights or full page content
- 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
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, Temporal, n8n, Zapier, OpenAI GPT OSS, and more as they ship.
Browse every integration by category—AI frameworks, automation platforms, and open models.
Browse MCP marketplaces, cloud marketplaces, and partner directories where You.com is available.
Developer Tools
Connect You.com directly to any MCP-enabled IDE—Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Windsurf, and more.
