# kosa8 mcp search

Search the MCP server catalog and the official MCP Registry

## Usage

```
kosa8 search [QUERY]
```

Searches kosa8's curated catalog (servers checked against their publisher's
own repository, added in one step with `kosa8 mcp add ID`) and the official
MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io). Registry results are what
their publishers say about them, not reviewed by kosa8; add one with
`kosa8 mcp add NAME -- CMD`. Offline, or with --offline, only the catalog
is searched. Registry answers are cached for an hour.

## Flags

| Flag | Type | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| `--limit` | int | registry results to show (at most 100) | `15` |
| `--offline` | bool | search the curated catalog only |  |
