You can automate deep web research by applying a tiered search strategy that checks connected MCPs, runs free tools like searxng and Playwright, and escalates to freemium or paid sources like Perplexity. This ensures every claim is supported by cited sources.

A tiered search strategy sequentially executes free tools like searxng and Playwright, then freemium options like brave-search and tavily, and finally paid sources like Perplexity and Firecrawl with user approval. This workflow ensures every claim is supported by cited sources.

No, you do not need paid MCPs. The tiered search workflow starts by running free tools like searxng, fetch, puppeteer, and Playwright, then escalates to freemium options like brave-search and tavily, and finally checks paid sources like Perplexity and Exa only with user approval.

You structure a research brief with sources, open questions, and next steps by decomposing questions into sub-queries and executing them across 2+ sources. The output is a five-section research brief including a summary, details, sources, open questions, and next steps.

The best way to automate deep web research using connected MCPs is applying a tiered search strategy. It checks connected MCPs, uses free tools like rag-web-browser, then freemium options like brave-search, and finally paid sources like Firecrawl, ensuring every claim is supported by cited sources.
