Description
Desired Behavior
Agent Canvas and OpenHands agents can connect to You.com web search as a no-auth remote MCP server, selected from the shared integration catalog like the existing search providers.
Today every web-search MCP entry in the catalog (tavily, exa, firecrawl, kagi) requires an API key, so a fresh install has no working web search until the user signs up with one of those providers. You.com exposes an anonymous free tier on its MCP endpoint (https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free) that works with zero setup — a good zero-configuration option to offer alongside the keyed ones.

Research direction
Compare the existing search-provider entries in integrations/catalog/ and update tests/test_catalogs.py for the intentionally-public remote MCP ids. Add integrations/catalog/youcom-search.json with the specified endpoint and no-auth strategy, regenerate integrations/catalog-index.js with npm run build:integrations, and run the opt-in RUN_YOUCOM_MCP_LIVE=1 smoke test through create_mcp_tools without changing existing settings or defaults.
