Install search-rotation

brew install robin-bially/tap/search-rotation

Homebrew installs Node.js 24 and the versioned release package. The executable is search-rotation:

search-rotation --http --open

To connect an MCP client over stdio, use search-rotation as its command with no arguments. If the client does not inherit your shell's PATH, use the absolute path printed by:

echo "$(brew --prefix)/bin/search-rotation"

Provider keys and settings are managed in the local dashboard. Existing ~/.config/search-rotation configuration is retained. Restart your MCP client after an upgrade so it loads the new server version.

Available packages

Package	Type	Source
smartastic	Cask · Native macOS drive health monitor	robin-bially/SMARTastic
dotshelf	Cask · Native macOS config editor	robin-bially/DotShelf
search-rotation	Formula · Node.js MCP server	robin-bially/search-rotation-mcp

Update or uninstall

brew update
brew upgrade search-rotation
brew upgrade --cask dotshelf

# Remove either tool:
brew uninstall search-rotation
brew uninstall --cask dotshelf

Uninstalling search-rotation does not delete provider keys, settings or history. Uninstalling DotShelf removes the app; your configuration files, backups and app preferences are retained.

Maintainers

Each formula or cask must reference an existing public release and its actual SHA-256 checksum. Validate changes with:

brew style robin-bially/tap/search-rotation robin-bially/tap/dotshelf
brew audit --strict robin-bially/tap/search-rotation
brew audit --cask --strict --online robin-bially/tap/dotshelf
brew install robin-bially/tap/search-rotation
brew test robin-bially/tap/search-rotation

The formula uses the prebuilt release archive and disables npm lifecycle scripts. Its test initializes a real MCP process and checks all four tools using isolated configuration, without contacting search providers.
