Usage

After you've successfully added this MCP server to your assistant app follow the next steps below.

1. IndexNow Key Setup (Required)

Before using this server, you must set up an IndexNow key for your website host. This involves generating a key and placing a specific text file ({your-key}.txt) on your web server. This process verifies your ownership of the host to IndexNow.

2. Environment Variables (Optional)

This server supports the following environment variables for configuration:

INDEXNOW_SECRET_KEY: If you set this environment variable to your IndexNow key, the server will use it by default when submitting URLs. This way your AI assistant won't know it. You can still override it by providing the key argument when invoking the tool e.g.:

"mcpServers": {
  "mcp_server_indexnow": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": [
      "--from",
      "git+https://github.com/zizzfizzix/mcp-server-indexnow",
      "mcp_server_indexnow"
    ],
    "env": {
      "INDEXNOW_SECRET_KEY": "https://example.com/2134131231.txt"
    }
  }
}

INDEXNOW_API_BASE: Allows you to specify a different IndexNow API endpoint. Defaults to https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow, full list at indexnow.com. You typically only need this if you care about network latency or a specific participating search engine - they share submitted events with each other in the background but there reasonably might be a delay.
