SearXNG Search

ihor-sokoliuk/mcp-searxng

The Mcp Searxng server integrates the SearXNG metasearch API to provide AI assistants with web search and content extraction capabilities. It offers tools for executing paginated web searches with filters for time range, language, and safe search levels, as well as a URL content reader that extracts and caches page content with TTL optimization. This server enables AI assistants to access current web information and retrieve detailed content from URLs by connecting to any SearXNG instance via HTTP JSON API.

$ npx add-mcp mcp-searxng --name mcp-searxng --env 'SEARXNG_URL=${SEARXNG_URL}' --env 'AUTH_USERNAME=${AUTH_USERNAME}' --env 'AUTH_PASSWORD=${AUTH_PASSWORD}'

Run in your terminal. add-mcp asks which agents to add it to, then asks for each value it needs. Add -g to install it for every project.

Review the command, arguments and environment values before installing. MCP servers run with your local permissions.
