Nimble MCP: Agentic Web Search Platform

**Overview**

Nimble’s MCP Server connects your Databricks AI agents to the live web.

Web search is about equipping your agent with the most relevant context to execute a specific task. Rather than placing trust entirely in search algorithms, engineers can use Nimble to customize the way their agents autonomously search the web, pinpoint the precise data they need, and extract it in a structured format.

Under the hood, Nimble orchestrates specialized Web Search Agents across five layers: browsing, parsing, data processing, validation, and delivery. Every result is cross-checked before it reaches your agent. The output is structured JSON, rather than raw text that needs parsing.

One install. 18 tools. The entire public web as a queryable data source for your AI workflows.

**Use cases**

- **Competitive pricing intelligence** — Monitor competitor prices across thousands of product pages in real time. Feed structured price/availability data directly into your Databricks pipelines.
- **Digital shelf analytics** — Track product placement, reviews, ratings, and content changes across major retailers. Build dashboards that refresh with live data.
- **Brand monitoring** — Search news, social media, and review sites for brand mentions. Get structured sentiment and source data, not just links.
- **Alternative data for finance** — Extract SEC filings, job postings, company signals, and market indicators from the live web. Ground your financial models in current data.
- **Deep research for RAG** — Give your retrieval-augmented generation pipelines access to fresh web content. Search, extract full pages, and feed clean markdown into your vector stores.
- **AI agent grounding** — Any Databricks agent that needs to answer questions about the real world can search the web, extract pages, or crawl entire sites — all through standard MCP tool calls.

**Product details**

18 MCP tools across six capabilities:
- **Search** — Multi-engine web search with focus modes for news, shopping, social, and more.
- **Extract** — Pull clean content from any URL as markdown, plain text, or HTML. Sync and async modes.
- **Map** — Discover every URL on a website via link-following and sitemap parsing.
- **Crawl** — Multi-page crawling with path filters, subdomain control, and progress tracking.
- **Agents** — Browse pre-built extraction agents, create custom ones through a conversational workflow, and save them for reuse.
- **Tasks** — Async polling for long-running extraction and agent jobs.

All tools return structured JSON. No parsing required — your agents can act on the data immediately.
