The MCP search tool supports optional parameters that AI applications use to control and refine search results.

- **`pageSize`**: Number of results to return, between 1 and 50. Defaults to 10.
- **`scoreThreshold`**: Minimum relevance score between 0 and 1. Only returns results at or above this threshold. Use this to filter out low-relevance matches.

Use 'preceding' instead of 'above'.
- **`version`**: Filter results to a specific documentation version. For example, `'v0.7'`. Only returns content tagged with the specified version or content available across all versions.
- **`language`**: Filter results to a specific language code. For example, `'en'`, `'zh'`, or `'es'`. Only returns content in the specified language or content available across all languages.

Your MCP server searches content that Mintlify indexes from your documentation repository. File processing and search indexing control what content is available through your MCP server.

For documentation that requires authentication, your MCP server only indexes pages in [public user groups](/deploy/authentication-setup#make-pages-public). For documentation with partial authentication, your MCP server indexes public pages for unauthenticated users and any pages in public user groups.
For documentation that requires authentication, your MCP server indexes [public pages and groups](/deploy/authentication-setup#make-pages-public) (those with `public: true`) along with any other pages the authenticated user has permission to access based on their [user groups](/deploy/authentication-setup#restrict-pages-to-specific-user-groups).

For documentation with partial authentication, unauthenticated users can search public pages. Authenticated users can search public pages and groups, plus any additional pages they have permission to access based on their user groups.
