# Parallel

> Web search, page extraction, research, and monitoring for AI applications.

Use the product pages to choose a starting point and the documentation index for the complete guide and API reference inventory. Follow the linked pricing pages for current rates and billing rules.

## Get started

- [Search MCP](https://parallel.ai/mcp.md): Free web search MCP server for AI agents. One agent prompt that installs it into the agent's own MCP client, one-click links for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code, and the 26 clients with setup steps.
- [MCP setup](https://docs.parallel.ai/integrations/mcp/installation.md): Free anonymous search and extraction at lower limits through `https://mcp.parallel.ai/mcp` (Streamable HTTP), with no account, API key, or OAuth required. For higher limits and the `web_research` tool, use a Parallel API key as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. For OAuth or enforced authentication, use `https://mcp.parallel.ai/mcp?login`. The guide includes client setup commands.
- [CLI and agent setup](https://parallel.ai/agents.md): Install the CLI, authenticate, and install agent skills.
- [CLI reference](https://docs.parallel.ai/integrations/cli.md): Installation options, `parallel-cli login`, API key configuration, and command examples.
- [Agent authentication](https://parallel.ai/auth.md): Account setup and API key creation. Account access tokens manage the account; product API calls use an API key.
- [Developer platform](https://platform.parallel.ai/): Create an account and API keys for paid API use. Anonymous Search MCP access does not provide anonymous API access.
