Using the Claude app rather than Claude Code? You can add a skill there too. How to add it in the app

What does anysearch do?

anysearch is a skill that gives Claude a real-time search service through bundled command-line scripts in Python, Node.js, PowerShell or Bash. Claude picks whichever runtime your machine has, then runs search, batch_search for several queries in parallel, or extract to turn a web page into Markdown. For topics such as finance, health, legal, travel or security, it calls get_sub_domains first to learn the right vertical and its required parameters. Queries, URLs and any API key go to api.anysearch.com. A key is optional and raises rate limits; without one it searches anonymously. Extracted pages are treated as data, not instructions.

When should you use anysearch?

Use it when

  • You need current facts or news inside a Claude session
  • You want a stock quote, CVE or DOI lookup in one call
  • You want several searches run in parallel

Skip it when

  • Your queries contain secrets or personal data
  • You need text pulled from PDFs or Word files

What it needs and what it can touch

You need

  • Python 3.6+ with requests, Node.js 12+, PowerShell 5.1+, or Bash with jq and curl
  • An AnySearch API key for higher rate limits (optional)

What it can do

  • Runs shell commands (the bundled anysearch CLI)
  • Sends queries and URLs to an outside service (AnySearch)
  • Writes a new API key to a .env file when you approve

From reading its instructions, not from running it.
