DeepSeek shipped standalone Search (`POST /v1/tools/search`) and Fetch (`POST /v1/tools/fetch` → Markdown) APIs for agents/RAG: $0.75 per 1,000 successful requests each (empty/failed free); Claude Code built-in Web Search and Codex `web_search` waive Search fees for the first two weeks after launch, then standard pricing—docs live under Search & Fetch on api-docs.deepseek.com.
Show HN (Oct 16): Things to Do ships REST + HTTP MCP so agents query SF Bay Area shows, pop-ups, concerts, and festivals in plain language (`claude mcp add --transport http thingstodo https://api.thingstodoapi.com/mcp`) instead of slow web search or ad-hoc scraping; NYC/LA listed as soon.
Stable open-source Azure MCP 3.0 adds Backup, Resilience, SRE Agent, Terraform/Advisor, Monitor/Cosmos/IoT toolsets plus clearer schemas, --learn, and secure-by-default resource creation so Copilot/Cursor/Claude agents can inspect and plan Azure work with predictable contracts.
