Social Search Mcp
Lets Claude search social media platforms by filtering Google, SearXNG, or Serper.dev results to specific domains like Facebook, Reddit, LinkedIn, and Instagram. You pass a query and optional platform list to the search_social tool, and it returns focused results from those networks. Built with three backend options: free SearXNG (default), Serper.dev for accuracy, or Google Custom Search API. Useful when you need LLMs to pull current discussions or posts from social channels without switching contexts or manually crafting site-specific searches. Configure your preferred provider and API keys via environment variables, then query across platforms in natural language.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that empowers LLMs to search across specific social media platforms using the industry's best search engines.

Search Providers
You can configure the backend by setting the SEARCH_PROVIDER environment variable. By default, it uses SearXNG since it is free and open-source.
