GroundRoute: Web Search for AI Agents across 6 Engines ($10 free credit)
Rank #135,790smithery/groundroute-ai/web-search
GroundRoute gives your AI agent web search across six engines (Serper, Brave, Exa, Tavily, Firecrawl, Perplexity) through a single search tool. That one tool covers web, news, and academic search, synthesized answers with citations, and full-page fetch, all selectable with a mode parameter, so you never wire up or pay for six separate APIs. It routes each query to the cheapest engine that meets a quality bar, caches repeats, and fails over automatically. Pricing is gain-share: you keep about half the cache savings, so it never costs more than going direct. Bring your own engine keys (BYOK) or let GroundRoute manage them. New accounts start with $10 in free search credit, no card. Get a key at https://groundroute.ai/keys, and see the live benchmark across all six engines (170 real agent queries) at groundroute.ai/state-of-ai-search.
