FAQ from SearXNG MCP Server

Does SearXNG MCP Server require a SearXNG instance?

Yes. You must have a SearXNG instance running (instructions to run it via Docker are provided in the README). The default address is http://localhost:8080.

What search categories are available?

General, news, science, files, images, videos, music, social media, and IT. The default category is "general".

How can I configure multiple SearXNG instances for fallback?

Set the SEARXNG_INSTANCES environment variable to a comma‑separated list of URLs (e.g., http://localhost:8080,https://searx.example.com). The server will try them in order.

What safe search levels does the server support?

Three levels: 0 (No filtering), 1 (Moderate, default), and 2 (Strict).

Is SearXNG MCP Server truly privacy‑focused?

Yes. It integrates with SearXNG, which does not track users or build search profiles, and the server sends queries directly to the SearXNG instance without additional logging.
