    SearchApi uses a single API key. It may be supplied either as an `api_key`
    query parameter or as an HTTP `Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>` header. There
    is no OAuth surface for the REST API. The hosted MCP server authenticates the
    same key via a `?token=` query parameter or an `X-MCP-Token` request header.
