# Autom — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your Autom account and use 4 tools for web scraping straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. Autom is a service that delivers lightning-fast search engine results page (SERP) outcomes for Google, Bing, and Brave, offering developers rapid access to search data with minimal latency.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_autom?ms=1787291100000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `autom_google_countries`).

## Option B — via direct REST API
Base URL: `https://api.mcp.ai/api/autom`
