MCP server for Jina AI services
Mcp jina ai mcp server connects MCP Jina Ai to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. MCP server for Jina AI services.
An MCP server that provides access to Jina AI's powerful web services through Claude. This server implements three main tools:
Once connected, the assistant can call these 7 tools directly:
Tools — The Tools tool exposed by this serverread_webpage — The read_webpage tool exposed by this serversearch_web — The search_web tool exposed by this serverfact_check — The fact_check tool exposed by this serverPrerequisites — You'll need a Jina AI API key to use this server.

We recommend using the [MCPThe server is distributed via npm as @smithery/cli, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 3 environment variables: JINA_API_KEY, YOUR_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. MCP Jina Ai sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Tools, read_webpage, search_web among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
