+# Research errors with Parallel Search MCP
+
+When an unfamiliar error appears in an Evolver-assisted Claude Code session,
+use current upstream documentation and issue reports to check a repair idea.
+[Parallel Search MCP](https://docs.parallel.ai/integrations/mcp/search-mcp)
+provides web search and page fetching without an account or API key. Anonymous
+search uses Fast mode and is rate limited.
+
+This guide adds research tools to the **Claude Code host session**. Evolver's
+hooks continue to load evolution memory, detect signals and record outcomes;
+Evolver itself does not call this MCP server. Its offline workflow and the
+Evolver skill's network permissions stay unchanged.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Evolver installed and Claude Code hooks configured using the
+  [runtime setup guide](../README.md#4-wire-up-your-agent-runtime-optional).
+- [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview) installed and signed in.
+- A project you can open in Claude Code, with network access to
+  `https://search.parallel.ai/mcp`.
+
+## Add the research tools
+
+Run these commands from your project directory:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add --transport http --scope local evolver-parallel-search \
+  https://search.parallel.ai/mcp \
+  --header "User-Agent: evolver-research-guide/1.0"
+claude mcp get evolver-parallel-search
+```
+
+The saved entry should show HTTP transport and the URL above. Local scope stores
+it privately for this project in `~/.claude.json`; it does not add a shared
+`.mcp.json`. If that server name is already configured, inspect it before making
+changes. Keep any existing server and provider choices you want to use.
+
+Start a new `claude` session in the same directory. Run `/mcp`, confirm
+`evolver-parallel-search` is connected, and inspect its `web_search` and
+`web_fetch` tools. The anonymous endpoint does not need an Authorization header
+or an OAuth sign-in. See [Claude Code's MCP guide](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp)
+if your environment restricts MCP servers or outbound connections.
+
+## Research before choosing a repair
+
+For example, if a Windows subprocess fails with `spawn EINVAL`, give Claude the
+actual Node version and a redacted error, then ask:
+
+```text
+Use evolver-parallel-search to investigate Node.js spawn EINVAL on Windows
+when launching npm .cmd shims. Search current Node.js documentation and upstream
+issue reports, then fetch the most relevant pages. Check whether the findings
+apply to my Node version and launcher. Summarize the cause, source URLs and
+remaining uncertainty, and propose a focused regression check before editing.
+Do not send credentials, private code or raw session logs to the search service.
+```
+
+Look for source URLs in the search result and a summary grounded in the fetched
+pages. Review version-specific advice against your local reproduction before
+applying a change. Evolver's existing
+[child-process convention](../CONTRIBUTING.md#engineering-conventions) is also
+relevant to this example.
+
+Search queries and fetched URLs go to Parallel, so use only information you
+intend to send to an external service. If the service reports a quota limit,
+follow its retry guidance or continue the local investigation without web tools.
+
+## Remove the optional server
+
+From the same project directory:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp remove --scope local evolver-parallel-search
+```
+
+This removes the research server entry; Evolver hooks remain installed.
