Parallel Search — setup and usage

This plugin bundles one remote MCP server, parallel-search, at https://search.parallel.ai/mcp. It is anonymous and needs no setup: no API key, no OAuth, no environment variables, no parallel-cli. It provides two tools:

• web_search — ranked results with answer-ready excerpts
• web_fetch — token-efficient markdown for specific URLs
