Why Operator

Operator is an adaptive search agent that runs multi source queries and returns a compact answer. Instead of loading tens of thousands of tokens of docs, issues, and search results into your application or model, you send the query to Operator and get back a short, filtered summary with links. This keeps your context small and cuts token spend.

Multi-Source

Query multiple sources simultaneously

Deep Scraping

Extract full content, not just snippets

Adaptive Depth

Simple questions get fast answers, complex ones get thorough research without blowing up your token budget

Current Data

Live results, not stale training data

​
Use via API

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.OPERATOR_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://api.operator.io",
});

const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "Operator",
  messages: [
    { role: "user", content: "How do I fix 'Cannot find module @tanstack/react-query' after upgrading to v5?" }
  ],
});

console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);

​
Add as MCP Server

Via Plugin Marketplace
