Nimrod
Web research your agent can actually use. Quality-scored Google search, clean webpage extraction, and deep multi-source research for Claude — over the Model Context Protocol.

What it is
Nimrod gives Claude four research tools:
Why not just let the model search? Because raw search is where agent runs go to die: Nimrod returns ranked evidence instead of SEO sludge, as token-efficient markdown instead of raw HTML, with deterministic costs (1 credit = 1 search) and date/site/language control.
New accounts start with a free 50-credit trial — no card required.
Get connected
Claude.ai & Claude Desktop (zero install): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://nimrod.orchis.ai/mcp → sign in with your email. Done.
Claude Code (hosted):
claude mcp add nimrod --transport http https://nimrod.orchis.ai/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer nmk_your_key"Nimrod Desktop (full toolkit — recommended for power users): a locally installed MCP server with six research skills, a deep-research agent, and search-coach hooks (Claude Code features). Extraction is free on every plan; on Desktop it also runs on your own machine, so the pages you read stay private. Grab it from Releases:
or nimrod-desktop.exe for Claude Code: nimrod-desktop setup, then claude mcp add nimrod -- path\to\nimrod-desktop.exe
- Windows — nimrod.mcpb for Claude Desktop (double-click, paste key),
chmod +x it, then a one-time xattr -d com.apple.quarantine nimrod-desktop-macos (not yet Apple-signed), then setup and claude mcp add as above
- macOS — nimrod-desktop-macos (universal: Apple Silicon + Intel):
- Linux — nimrod-desktop-linux: chmod +x, setup, claude mcp add
In the MCP Registry
Nimrod is listed in the official MCP Registry as ai.orchis/nimrod — MCP clients that browse the registry (including VS Code's MCP gallery) can discover and install it from there.
Built to pair
Run Nimrod beside your other MCP tools — like Konnect for KiCAD: live parts data from your EDA workflow, live web research from Nimrod, one agent, no stale training cutoff.
