Kagi MCP or Hyperresearch Answers?
Choose Kagi MCP for developers who want kagi search results inside an agent. When an agent needs one checked answer rather than a list of links, Hyperresearch Answers is our editorial choice: it scored 89% on BrowseComp in its own run, and every quote it returns is matched to its source page.
