## Tools
- you-search (Web Search) - Current web and news search returning snippets, source URLs, and metadata. Default for finding current information; supports domain, country, language, and freshness filters, and extraction (highlights or full page content). For multi-part questions, issue a separate focused query per sub-question — one facet each, not the whole question. Endpoint: https://api.you.com/mcp
- you-contents (Extract Web Page Contents) - Extract full content from specific URLs in markdown, HTML, or structured metadata. Use when you already have URLs and need to read them before relying on exact details. Endpoint: https://api.you.com/mcp
- you-research (Research) - One-shot cited synthesis — research a topic and return a concise answer with inline citations and source list. Use when a synthesized, sourced answer is needed rather than raw search results. Configurable effort levels (lite, standard, deep, exhaustive, frontier). Endpoint: https://api.you.com/mcp
- you-answer (Web Answer) - Fast live-web answer generation returning one synthesized answer with verified inline citations, citation excerpts, and supporting web results. Use when the caller wants a single sourced answer; use research for deeper multi-step investigation, effort control, structured output, or background tasks. Supports freshness, country, language, and domain filters. Endpoint: https://api.you.com/mcp
- you-balance (Account Balance) - Get the remaining credit balance for the billing entity associated with your You.com API key. Balance is in cents (divide by 100 for USD). Endpoint: https://api.you.com/mcp
- you-discover (Agent Discovery) - Discover AI agents, MCP servers, A2A agents, and skills via ARD Agent Finder services. Search-only — never installs or connects. Returns ranked results with relevance scores. Endpoint: https://api.you.com/mcp
