Frequently asked questions

What is the best open-source semantic search agent?

Top-ranked semantic search agents on Beacon include Ai Agents For Beginners, Semantic Kernel, Gpt Researcher, ranked by maintenance health — recent activity, GitHub stars, and open-issue load — not stars alone.

Are these semantic search agents free to use?

Yes. Every semantic search agent listed is open-source and free. Beacon is a free directory — no API key or signup to browse or search.

How do I use a semantic search agent from my editor or AI assistant?

Run 'npx -y beacon-mcp' to add Beacon as an MCP server in Cursor, Claude Desktop, Cline, or Windsurf, then ask your AI to find a semantic search agent.

How does Beacon save time finding a semantic search agent?

Instead of searching GitHub and reading dozens of READMEs, call GET https://registry-ruby.vercel.app/api/v1/search?q=semantic+search — sub-second results ranked by health, stars, and activity.

Can autonomous AI agents discover semantic search tools programmatically?

Yes. Agents read https://registry-ruby.vercel.app/llms.txt and call POST /api/v1/discover with {"query": "semantic search"} — no API key required.
