Artificial Analysis 搜索指数第一的 API 换人了，主打 MCP 接入
给做 Agent 的朋友提个醒：搜索 API 榜单换第一了，走 MCP 接入很方便，官方说 token 消耗少一半左右。如果你的智能体要联网查资料、又在意上下文成本，可以把这个和 Exa、Brave 这些老方案对比跑一下再决定用谁。
根据 Artificial Analysis Search Index 的排名，一款新的搜索 API 升至榜首，成为目前该榜单的第一名。
它面向需要联网检索的智能体场景，通过 MCP 协议即可接入使用。效率方面，官方报告称其搜索结果的 token 消耗比其他方案少约 50%，意味着同样的检索任务可以节省大量上下文开销。
对于正在搭建搜索型 Agent 的开发者来说，榜单排名和 token 成本是两个可以直接参考的选型指标。
This is the new #1 Search API in the Artificial Analysis Search Index.
Use this if you want your agents to search the web and get the best possible results.
You connect to this using MCP.
Very efficient with tokens—they report roughly 50% fewer search-result tokens than anyone else.
