Searxng Mcp
Wraps SearXNG's metasearch engine so Claude can query web results from Google, Brave, DuckDuckGo, and dozens of other sources through a single endpoint. Exposes web_search with filtering by category (news, images, IT, science), engine selection, language, and time range, plus web_search_info for discovering what's enabled on your instance. Designed to run alongside a SearXNG container via Docker Compose. Supports HTTP, SSE, and stdio transports. Requires enabling JSON format in your SearXNG settings.yml. Useful when you need aggregated web search without managing individual search engine APIs or want to keep search traffic self-hosted.
