modsearch

Overview

ModSearch is a powerful CLI tool designed to enhance AI agent workflows by providing access to web search, page fetching, and X (Twitter) content retrieval. It supports multiple engines, including Firecrawl (keyless), Antigravity CLI, Tavily, Exa, Grok Build, and local HTTP fetch, with automatic failover between them. The tool outputs structured JSON, ensuring consistency across all engines, and requires no API keys or signups for basic usage. It is particularly useful for AI agents that need to gather real-time, structured web data without relying on the model's own web access.

Security considerations

ModSearch stores API keys in a local configuration file (`~/.modsearch/config.json`) with restricted permissions (0600). It does not exfiltrate data to external endpoints by default and provides clear status information for fallback scenarios.
