Class Method Details

.start ⇒ Object

Start the MCP server over stdio, exposing the ask_web_search tool.

$ ask-web-search-mcp

The server will listen for JSON-RPC messages on stdin and write responses to stdout — the standard MCP stdio transport. Register this executable as an MCP server in your client configuration:

"mcp": {
"servers": {
  "ask-web-search-mcp": {
    "type": "stdio",
    "command": "ask-web-search-mcp",
    "args": []
  }
}
}

def self.start
  Ask::MCP::Server.start_stdio(
    name: "ask-web-search-mcp",
    version: VERSION,
    tools: [tool],
    capabilities: { tools: {} },
    debug: ENV["DEBUG"] == "1"
  )
end

.tool ⇒ Object

Builds the tool exposed over MCP: Ask::Tools::WebSearch renamed to "ask_web_search" to avoid collisions with client-side tools of the same name.
