Why GPT Researcher MCP?

While LLM apps can access web search tools with MCP, GPT Researcher MCP delivers deep research results. Standard search tools return raw results requiring manual filtering, often containing irrelevant sources and wasting context window space.

GPT Researcher autonomously explores and validates numerous sources, focusing only on relevant, trusted and up-to-date information. Though slightly slower than standard search (~30 seconds wait), it delivers:

✨ Higher quality information
📊 Optimized context usage
🔎 Comprehensive results
🧠 Better reasoning for LLMs

Prerequisites

Before running the MCP server, make sure you have:

Python 3.10 or higher installed
API keys for the services you plan to use:
- OpenAI API key
- Tavily API key

⚙️ Installation

Clone the GPT Researcher repository:

git clone https://github.com/assafelovic/gpt-researcher.git
cd gpt-researcher

Install the gptr-mcp dependencies:

cd gptr-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt

Set up your environment variables:
- Copy the .env.example file to create a new file named .env:
```
cp .env.example .env
```
- Edit the .env file and add your API keys and configure other settings:
```
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
TAVILY_API_KEY=your_tavily_api_key
```

You can also add any other env variable for your GPT Researcher configuration.

🚀 Running the MCP Server

You can start the MCP server in two ways:

Method 1: Directly using Python

python server.py

Method 2: Using the MCP CLI (if installed)

mcp run server.py

Once the server is running, you'll see output indicating that the server is ready to accept connections.
