SearchApi OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 probed

SearchApi publishes 1 OAuth 2.0 scope. Scopes are the fine-grained permissions an application requests at authorization time to act against the SearchApi API on a user’s behalf.

This index is generated from the provider’s OpenAPI security definitions (and, where available, its documented scope reference) and refreshes on every APIs.io network build. Browse every provider’s scopes at scopes.apis.io.

Scope	Description	Flows
mcp	Grants an OAuth client access to the SearchApi hosted MCP server, and through it to the search tools bound to the authorizing account's MCP integration. There is no finer-grained scope: the single `mcp` scope carries the whole tool surface, and per-tool scoping is done out-of-band by choosing which tools go into a dashboard "bundle" rather than by OAuth scope.

note: >-
  SearchApi's REST SERP API has no OAuth surface at all — it authenticates with a
  single API key (query `api_key` or `Authorization: Bearer`). The OAuth surface
  described here belongs exclusively to the hosted MCP server at
  https://www.searchapi.io/mcp, which SearchApi added alongside the legacy static
  `X-MCP-Token` header. The authorization server publishes exactly one scope.
  Scopes were read from the live RFC 8414 metadata document, not derived from a
  spec — `derive-oauth-scopes.py` finds no oauth2 securityScheme because the
  OpenAPI describes only the API-key REST surface.
