AutoSearch is open-source deep research infrastructure built for AI agents. Plug Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, GPT-Researcher, LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, and other hosts into MCP-native access across 40 channels, including 10+ Chinese sources.

The engine returns indexed multi-source results and stays uncoupled from LLM calls, so your agent keeps its own model, prompts, and workflow.

---

You ask your AI to research something. It answers from training data cutoff —

- "Show me this week's LLM papers on arxiv" → **can't**, no academic database access
- "What are people saying about this product on Reddit" → **shallow**, only surface-level web results
- "Find similar open-source projects on GitHub" → **weak**, general search misses most repos
- "Summarize the Twitter discussion on this topic" → **blocked**, no public API
- "Compare opinions on Hacker News vs Chinese tech forums" → two platforms, manual aggregation

**AutoSearch fixes this in one line.** Pick the path that matches you:

## Install

**Have Node?** (most common — works on macOS, Linux, Windows)

```bash
npx autosearch-ai
```

**Using Claude Code / Cursor / Zed?** Paste this into your AI agent:

```
Help me install AutoSearch: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0xmariowu/Autosearch/main/docs/install.md
```

**Shell user on macOS / Linux?**

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0xmariowu/Autosearch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
```

The npm wrapper runs install/init only when you invoke it explicitly. Plain
`npm install -g autosearch-ai` does not auto-run `init`; avoiding npm
install-time scripts is intentional supply-chain hardening.

After install, your Agent searches 40 channels simultaneously — academic papers, developer communities, Chinese social media, and Linux DO forum threads — results deduplicated and ranked, every result includes a source URL.
