Search Fragments — Claude Code MCP server: install and features
Tracks down movies, books, songs, and research papers from vague clues. Helps AI agents avoid fabricating answers when details are fuzzy.
claude mcp add --transport http search-fragments https://searchfragments.com/api/mcpWhat Search Fragments does
AI agents often invent confident falsehoods when asked about half-remembered topics. Search Fragments fixes this by enforcing three strict resolution outcomes. The server delivers a verified answer with evidence, a ranked shortlist, or an explicit refusal to guess. Standard search handles simple facts faster.
The service runs as a hosted endpoint at https://searchfragments.com/api/mcp without local package downloads. It exposes three MCP tools to the agent: resolve_fragment for uncovering sources from vague memories, verify_claim for fact-checking specific statements, and submit_resolution_feedback for scoring results.
Basic access is free. It requires no account. When authentication is needed, OAuth 2.0 with PKCE is supported out of the box.
What it helps with
- Identify a forgotten film or book from fragmentary plot memories
- Verify a dubious claim without triggering AI hallucinations
- Locate an obscure academic paper from vague methodology details
- Return an honest refusal when available clues do not point to a single source
Example prompts for the agent
- Find that 1990s movie where a traveler gets trapped at a desert gas station.
- Verify whether a 2018 experiment tested caffeine effects on mouse memory.
- Locate a novel where the protagonist collects antique keys in a coastal town.
