> Optional tools work without an API key but have rate limits. For higher rate limits and better performance, use a Jina API key. You can get a free Jina API key from https://jina.ai

Usage

> [!WARNING] > Some clients do not support env variable, so you may need to replace ${JINA_API_KEY} below to a hardcoded real API key jina_xxx.

> [!NOTE] > The server uses Streamable HTTP transport (MCP spec 2025-03-26). The /sse endpoint is kept as an alias for backward compatibility. See FAQ for details.

For client that supports remote MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jina-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://mcp.jina.ai/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${JINA_API_KEY}" // optional
      }
    }
  }
}

For client that does not support remote MCP server yet, you need mcp-remote a local pr
