Web search

Web search from the command line.

Search the live web and get back text, not a page of links.

Results come back as title, url, date and the readable text of the page, which is what an agent needs and what a person reading a terminal wants too. Searches cost money, so they are the clearest thing on the daily ceiling.

Four commands

Each of the last three opens a browser tab, does one thing, and hands the terminal back.

$ curl -sSL https://gbrainio.terminalwire.sh | bash   # install it
$ gbrainio login                                      # name this terminal, pick how long it lasts
$ gbrainio auth grant exa                             # connect the account
$ gbrainio permission                                 # turn Web search on

The installer is a shell script. Read it first. macOS and Linux.

Then these

Read from the tool plane, so this list is what the CLI answers to today. Add -h to any of them for its arguments.

Same tools, any assistant

Claude Code, Cursor and Codex reach the same Web search through MCP, on the same permission and the same record.
