# SpecStream for GPT Researcher MCP retriever

SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. Add one entry to mcp\_configs and set RETRIEVER=mcp, and GPT Researcher searches the live web and reads whole pages through SpecStream's MCP server.

[Read the guide](https://specstream.ai/docs/integrations/gpt-researcher-mcp.md)

## What you get

One entry in mcp\_configs

name, command, args and env, the four fields GPT Researcher reads for a local server. The key is SPECSTREAM\_API\_KEY.

Search and whole pages

The retriever calls search\_web for results with their URLs and read\_pages for the full text of pages, PDFs and Office files.

Alone or beside your retriever

RETRIEVER=mcp runs on SpecStream alone. RETRIEVER=tavily,mcp or searx,mcp keeps a web retriever for the sub queries.
