[Idea] Document optional keyless web search for Claude Code

aiox-core (Core Framework)

Describe your idea

For people using AIOX in Claude Code to research a library or compare technical options, the MCP guide documents Exa with an API key and recommends Docker for web tools. AIOX already has MCP support and native search fallbacks, but the guide doesn't show a hosted, keyless MCP option for searching and reading public pages.

Would you be open to a short optional Parallel Search MCP example in docs/guides/mcp-global-setup.md? It would use Claude Code's existing HTTP MCP support, with a setup command and a way to check that web_search and web_fetch are available. The public setup docs cover the free endpoint, https://search.parallel.ai/mcp. No API key is needed for light use, though the free tier has lower limits.

Use Case

Someone comparing two libraries could explicitly ask Claude Code to search for current docs and read the relevant pages, without setting up a provider key or Docker for that connection. This would be a docs-only, opt-in example, with no changes to AIOX's defaults or research-workflow routing.

Alternatives Considered

Keep using Exa, native WebSearch/WebFetch, or a manually configured MCP server. Those paths already exist. This suggestion just makes another setup option easier to find; it wouldn't add a new search backend or make Parallel the default.
