Document an explicitly optional You.com server for the existing Streamable HTTP MCP configuration: a keyless profile=free endpoint for basic web search, and the authenticated endpoint with a YDC_API_KEY bearer header for the full toolset. Search queries and requested URLs are sent to You.com.

Summary
profile=freeendpoint (basicyou-search, no API key or account) and the authenticated endpoint using Whale's existing${NAME}env-var expansion withYDC_API_KEYdocs/mcp.mdanddocs/mcp.en.md, mirroring the recent MCP docs precedent (docs: add optional Parallel Search MCP example #364)Why
Whale ships no default web-search tool, so agents working on current-library questions have to lean on context7 for docs or nothing at all. You.com runs a hosted Streamable HTTP MCP server (
https://api.you.com/mcp), so it plugs in with a singlemcpServersentry and no local process. The keyless profile keeps the quick-start copy-paste, and the authenticated variant shows the standard bearer-header pattern already documented for remote servers.Validation

Docs-only. Users who choose to add the server get a copyable, credential-free web search example; existing behavior and defaults are unchanged.
