Yandex Search: skills, MCP and CLI

There is no official MCP server from Yandex Search itself in the catalog, but the best community option is the Yandex Search API v2 MCP server, which offers low risk and supports Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, SourceCraft, and Koda agents. Besides MCP servers, there are plugins and skills for SEO, image search, rank tracking, and combined search tasks, working mainly with Claude Code, Cursor, and other agents like Claude Desktop and Coddy. Some MCP servers provide browser automation or multi-engine search, while plugins often focus on specific tasks like site audits or bulk SERP collection.
