title: Install DocSearch MCP

import MCPInstall from '@site/src/components/mcp/MCPInstall';
DocSearch MCP is a remote MCP server. Point any MCP-compatible client at this endpoint — no authentication required:
```text
https://mcp.algolia.com/1/docsearch/mcp
```
The fastest path is the **DocSearch CLI** — one command that configures your client for you. Prefer to set things up yourself? Install it as a **plugin** (ships the MCP server plus client guidance like rules, skills, and commands) or **manually** (just the MCP server config). Pick your client below.
<MCPInstall />
## Verify the install
Ask your MCP client a public documentation question, for example:
```text
Use DocSearch MCP to find the current Next.js middleware matcher docs.
```
The client should call the DocSearch tools and answer with content from the matching documentation, ideally with source links.
