Web Search
Search the internet for real-time information using the web_search tool provided by MiniMax MCP Server.
When to Use
Use web_search when the user needs:
- Latest news, events, or weather
- Real-time data (stock prices, exchange rates, sports scores, etc.)
- Facts that may be outdated in your training data
- Up-to-date information about specific products or services
- Latest versions of technical documentation
Search Strategy
- Craft effective keywords: Keep them short and precise, remove filler words. Prefer English for technical queries
- Add time constraints: Include the year or "latest" in keywords when seeking current information
- Multi-step search: Start with broad overview keywords, then refine based on results
- Cross-verify: Confirm important facts from at least two sources
Output Guidelines
- Cite sources (URLs) in your response
- Distinguish between facts and speculation
- If search results are insufficient to answer the question, state so honestly
- Do not copy-paste large blocks of search results; distill the key information
Example
User: "What is the latest version of Bun?"
Search strategy:
web_search("Bun latest release 2026")- If more details are needed, use
WebFetch to retrieve the release notes page
Response: Include version number, release date, key changes, and source links.
