mcp

@youdotcom-oss/mcp

Bin-only STDIO bridge for the hosted You.com MCP server at https://api.you.com/mcp.

This package does not register tools locally and does not contain REST tool logic. Its only job is to proxy STDIO MCP traffic to the hosted remote server.

Install

bun add @youdotcom-oss/mcp

Or run it directly:

npx @youdotcom-oss/mcp

Environment

• YDC_API_KEY Optional. Sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>.
• YDC_PROFILE Optional. When set to free, routes the bridge to https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free.
• YDC_ALLOWED_TOOLS Optional. Comma-separated hosted tool ids to expose through https://api.you.com/mcp?tools=....

YDC_PROFILE takes precedence over YDC_ALLOWED_TOOLS.

Tool exposure

The hosted MCP capability surface includes:

• you-contents
• you-finance
• you-research
• you-search

The default hosted MCP URL exposes the default tool set:

• you-search
• you-research
• you-contents

you-finance is not included in the default tool set. Request it explicitly with tools.

tools scopes the visible tool set.

Today, profile=free is a search-only mode. It overrides tools and does not expose you-research, you-contents, you-finance, or livecrawl.

Examples:

• Default tool set: https://api.you.com/mcp
• Finance only: https://api.you.com/mcp?tools=you-finance
• Search plus finance: https://api.you.com/mcp?tools=you-search,you-finance
• Free search profile: https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free

Example client config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ydc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@youdotcom-oss/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "YDC_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>",
        "YDC_ALLOWED_TOOLS": "you-search,you-finance"
      }
    }
  }
}

Use the hosted HTTP server directly when your MCP client supports remote MCP. Use this package only when the client requires a local STDIO command.
