Parallel
Parallel
Section titled “Parallel”Parallel provides hosted MCP tools for web search and URL fetching.
Add the parallel_search capability to an agent or harness. It works for free without any connection.
To use a Parallel API key, add a Parallel connection in Settings > Connections, then configure the capability with auth: "connection".
To use Parallel’s OAuth-compatible MCP endpoint, configure the capability with endpoint: "oauth". This mode requires the Parallel connection because the endpoint rejects anonymous requests.
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
mcp_parallel__web_search | Search the web and return ranked URLs with excerpts. |
mcp_parallel__web_fetch | Fetch and extract focused content from known URLs. |
Agents should reuse one stable session_id across Parallel tool calls in the same conversation.
Paid machine payments
Section titled “Paid machine payments”Operators can separately enable Parallel’s paid search, extraction, and task tools with
FEATURE_MACHINE_PAYMENTS=true. This deployment flag is off by default in every environment.
When it is off, Everruns does not expose Settings > Payments or the payment account, policy, and
attempt APIs, so the deployment does not ask organization owners to entrust wallet keys for a
capability that cannot spend.
