Frequently Asked Questions
What are search MCP servers?
Search MCP servers connect to enterprise search appliances, hosted Elasticsearch-compatible APIs, and specialty discovery products. The AI issues structured queries and receives ranked documents or snippets.
Is this the same as ChatGPT browsing?
Browsing is generic web access. Search MCP tools hit your configured index with your ACLs, so results respect enterprise permissions and custom ranking.
Can search servers leak confidential docs?
They return whatever the backing index exposes to the credential you supply. Use per-workspace keys, row-level security aware connectors, and disable servers when testing in shared sandboxes.
