Overview

What is SearXNG MCP Server?

SearXNG MCP Server integrates SearXNG's privacy-focused meta search capabilities with the Model Context Protocol, enabling privacy-preserving web searches across multiple engines. It is intended for developers and AI agents that need tracking-free, configurable search results.

How to use SearXNG MCP Server?

Install globally via npm (npm install -g @kevinwatt/mcp-server-searxng) and run directly with mcp-server-searxng. Alternatively, configure it as an MCP server in Dive Desktop by providing the JSON configuration shown in the README. A local SearXNG instance (e.g., Docker) is required; environment variable SEARXNG_INSTANCES can specify custom URLs.

Key features of SearXNG MCP Server

  • Meta search combining results from multiple engines
  • Privacy-first design with no tracking or profiling
  • Multi‑category support: general, news, science, files, images, videos, and more
  • Language‑specific search and time‑range filters (day, week, month, year)
  • Three‑level safe search filtering and fallback to multiple SearXNG instances

Use cases of SearXNG MCP Server

  • Privacy-conscious web searches from AI assistants
  • Aggregated search across categories (news, images, videos) in a single call
  • Fallback‑resilient search setups with multiple SearXNG instances

Frequently asked questions

1

What is the difference between this server and using SearXNG directly?

This server wraps SearXNG’s JSON API into an MCP tool (`web_search`), making it easy to integrate into MCP‑compatible apps without manual API calls.

2

What are the runtime requirements?

A running SearXNG instance reachable via HTTP (default `http://localhost:8080`). Node.js and npm are needed to install the server package.

3

How can I provide custom SearXNG instances?

Set the `SEARXNG_INSTANCES` environment variable as a comma‑separated list of URLs. The default is `http://localhost:8080`.

4

Can I filter search results by time or category?

Yes. The `web_search` tool accepts optional parameters `categories`, `time_range`, `language`, `safesearch`, and `page`.

5

How does the server handle privacy?

The server itself does not track or profile users; it delegates to SearXNG, which also does not track users across searches. No user data is stored by the server.
