Search provider

Keenable as a built-in web-search provider in Vellum Assistant, alongside Brave, Perplexity, Tavily and Firecrawl — and the only keyless one.

Setup

1No separate install
Keenable ships as a built-in web-search provider in Vellum Assistant (merged upstream) — there is no separate package to install.
2Point the web-search service at Keenable
Edit ~/.vellum/workspace/config.json (the workspace root follows VELLUM_WORKSPACE_DIR when that is set):
json
```
{
  "services": {
    "web-search": { "provider": "keenable" }
  }
}
```
3Run it
With no key the web_search tool calls the public endpoint. An optional key lifts the rate limit and is read from the environment — the CLI also forwards it into self-hosted containers and VMs.
bash
```
export KEENABLE_API_KEY=keen_...   # optional, lifts the cap
vellum wake
```
4Note on the Settings picker
Keenable is not in the desktop/web Settings provider picker yet — that card gates BYOK providers behind a required API key while ours is optional. For now select it through config.json or the env var.

Keyless by default; set KEENABLE_API_KEY to lift the rate limits.
