## Description

Bocha Search MCP provides integration with Bocha, a Chinese search engine for AI, enabling AI assistants to perform web searches and retrieve enhanced search details from billions of documents. Developed by kunkun, this Python-based server implementation offers two primary tools: bocha_web_search for retrieving standard search results including titles, URLs, summaries, and publication dates; and bocha_ai_search for semantic search with additional structured modal cards from vertical domains like weather, news, wikis, healthcare, and more. The server requires a Bocha API key and handles authentication, request formatting, and error handling, making it particularly useful for applications needing multilingual search capabilities with rich structured data.
