Would a free web-search MCP example help? #1178

Description

@georgeatparallel

What problem are you trying to solve?

Freebuff CLI users trying a remote MCP server have to find the separate Codebuff MCP docs, then fill in the placeholder HTTP example. The repo's agent guide doesn't link that page, and people in #1000 have asked where the docs are.

MCP and built-in web search already exist. The gap is a concrete setup example: a server you can try without a key, plus a clear explanation of main-agent versus research-agent scope.

What would you like to happen?

Would you be open to a short addition to docs/agents-and-tools.md that links those docs and gives a copy-paste config for Parallel's free Search MCP? It would use the existing HTTP MCP client for web_search and web_fetch, with a note on keeping the tools on a custom research agent if that's all you need.

I saw the rule about unsolicited vendor integrations, so I'm asking before sending a patch. Docs only, no bundled server or changes to the built-in search. Would that be useful, or would you prefer the Freebuff example live in Parallel's docs?
