SearXNG HTTP MCP
This is the rare MCP that bundles its own infrastructure. You get a Docker container with SearXNG baked in, so there's no separate metasearch instance to deploy. It exposes search across 200+ engines organized into 30+ categories (news, images, science, IT), plus autocomplete suggestions and engine discovery. Multi-page fanout lets you pull up to five result pages in a single call. Runs three ways: as an HTTP server with API key auth, via Docker stdio for local client setups, or through uvx if you already have SearXNG running. The HTTP mode doubles as a reverse proxy to the SearXNG web UI. Reach for this when you want metasearch without stitching together separate containers or external APIs.
