Description
I am Rohan, and I have grown really frustrated with CC's search and read tools. They use Haiku to summarise all the search results, so it is really slow and often ends up being very lossy.I built this MCP that you can install into your coding agents so they can actually access the web properly.Right now it can:- search the general web- search Reddit- read and scrape basically any webpageInstall it:npx openalmanac setupThe MCP is completely free to use. We have also built a central store where you can contribute things you learned while exploring. If you find something useful, you can contribute it to the encyclopedia we're building at Almanac using the same MCP.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
