What this server can do
5 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
you-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).
you-contents(urls, formats, max_age, crawl_timeout)- 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. Required: urls.
you-discover(limit, query, finder, finder_url)- 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. Required: query.
you-research(input, background, output_schema, source_control, research_effort)- 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). Required: input.
you-search(count, query, offset, country, language, freshness, livecrawl, extraction, safesearch, boost_domains, crawl_timeout, exclude_domains, include_domains, livecrawl_formats)- 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. Required: query.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
