Adds an optional Parallel Search MCP recipe to the README so users can upload a working configuration in Agent Settings for public web search and page extraction without a Parallel account or API key.
The example uses the existing stdio client and a pinned
mcp-remotebridge. It explains the Node.js requirement, preserving other configured servers, how to disable the tools, and that queries, requested URLs, and supplied context go to Parallel when the agent calls them. Free access is rate limited. No application code, dependencies, or defaults change.The built-in search option is Google Search in the browser, which this controller inherits without excluding it. I checked Artificial Analysis's Search API benchmark, whose latest data is dated August 31, 2026. It doesn't include Google Search, so those scores can't tell us whether Parallel would improve on this default. This example gives users a way to try that comparison. If Parallel returns better results on your agent's tasks, it could be worth considering as the default in a separate change.
Validation: loaded the exact README JSON through the unchanged upload callback, MCP setup function, controller registration, and selected-action method with
langchain_mcp_adapters==0.0.9andbrowser-use==0.1.48. Both tools registered; anonymous search returned 10 results and fetch returned one page. This focused check loaded those methods in isolation with prebuilt dependencies; it did not launch the UI or browser or run a repository build.git diff --checkpasses.I work at Parallel, which operates this service.
