# web_search_multilang

Multi-language, multi-source web search that goes beyond Anglo-centric results. Supports 15 languages (fr/de/es/it/pt/nl/ja/zh/ko/ar/ru/sv/pl/tr/en) with automatic detection. Aggregates results from Mojeek (independent search engine, multilang) and Wikipedia (native multilang API), with DDG and HN as English-language complements. Returns deduplicated results ranked by cross-engine consensus. Use when you need non-English search results, when DDG fails, or for geographically-biased queries. Phase 2 #7 of the geo/lang expansion plan. Note: Brave/Bing/Searx are blocked from DO IPs — configure AICI_RESEARCH_PROXY_URL for residential proxy.

- Homepage: https://github.com/getgapup/gapup-mcp-public
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server auth posture: open

- Parameters: 5 (1 required)
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `lang` | string | no | 2-letter language code. If omitted, auto-detected from query characters and lexical markers. |
| `async` | boolean | no | If true, returns a job_id immediately (<200ms) instead of waiting for the result. Poll the result with job_result(job_id). Use for slow tools to avoid client ti |
| `query` | string | yes | Search query in any language |
| `country` | string | no | ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 country code for geographic bias (e.g. FR, DE, JP, BR). Optional. |
| `max_results` | integer | no | Maximum number of results to return (default 10). |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "web_search_multilang",
    "arguments": {
      "query": "<query>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why web_search_multilang is rated Low

This is a query and retrieval tool. It gathers publicly available information from search engines and knowledge bases without modifying data or executing code. While it supports multiple languages and sources, the core function remains passive information retrieval. The mention of 'agent-payable' and financial/compliance tools elsewhere on the server does not affect this individual tool's classification.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs multi-language web search aggregation across multiple sources (Mojeek, Wikipedia, DDG, HN) and returns ranked results. Key verbs: 'search', 'aggregates results', 'returns deduplicated results'."

Risk signals: Accepts freeform code/query input (query)

## Use case

AI agents call web_search_multilang to retrieve information from Gapup Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
