- Search queries and page URLs are sent to You.com servers.
This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.
What it does
The plugin is four skills plus remote You.com MCP server configs. `you-web` searches the web and reads full pages, `you-research` builds a report from many sources, `you-finance` answers questions about quotes and earnings, and `you-discover` shows how to connect You.com APIs, MCP servers and SDKs to your own project. The plugin has no hooks and starts no local processes: queries and URLs go to `api.you.com`, and page content is treated as untrusted data. Basic search works without an account through the free profile; the full set opens with OAuth sign-in or an API key.
Who it is for. Developers and researchers whose agents need fresh documentation, package versions and citable sources.
Good fit when
- An agent checks code against current library documentation.
- Tools must be compared with pricing and sources.
- A fresh fix is needed for an error message.
- You.com APIs are being integrated and an integration path is needed.
Not a fit when
- Queries cannot be sent to an external search service.
- The agent runs without network access.
- You need an offline index of your own documents.
Example request
Find current documentation for this error, read the page in full and suggest a fix with links.Limitations
Search without an account is limited to the free profile; reading pages, research and finance need OAuth sign-in or a key from `you.com/platform/api-keys`. Search queries and page URLs go to You.com servers under their privacy policy. Other agent platforms use separate packaging; see the README for details. The repository defines the plugin version and skill set, so check the README skill list after updates.
How to disable. Run `/plugin uninstall you@you-com` in Claude Code or remove the installed skills. Revoke the API key in the You.com dashboard.
FAQ
Is an account needed?
Not for basic search; the free profile works. Page reading, research and finance need OAuth sign-in or an API key.
Which skills does the plugin include?
`you-web`, `you-research`, `you-finance` and `you-discover`. The README table describes each.
Does it work outside Claude Code?
Yes, the same skills are packaged for Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenCode and others. The universal install is `npx skills add youdotcom-oss/agent-skills`.
Which MCP servers does the plugin connect?
Remote `api.you.com/mcp` for search and reading, `/mcp/research` for research and `/mcp/finance` for finance. It starts no local processes.
What does the plugin not trust?
Web pages and search results are treated as untrusted data, never as instructions for the agent.
