🔌 MCP Serverwhw23
A self-contained SearXNG MCP server providing private, multi-engine search capabilities for AI agents via Docker.
The searxng-http-mcp server bridges the gap between AI agents and the vast, privacy-focused search capabilities of SearXNG. By containerizing the entire search stack, it allows developers to deploy a fully functional search tool with zero-install overhead. Key technical features include support for over 200 distinct search engines and 30+ categories, allowing agents to tailor their information gathering based on specific domains. The server excels in performance through multi-page fanout, enabling agents to aggregate results from multiple sources simultaneously. It also includes advanced features like autocomplete and engine discovery, which help agents refine their queries dynamically. Security is prioritized through API key authentication, and the inclusion of a reverse proxy for the SearXNG Web UI allows users to monitor search activity or use the interface manually. With support for both HTTP and stdio transports, this MCP server is highly versatile, fitting into various agent architectures from local CLI tools to cloud-based deployments.
