SearXNG MCP Server is an MCP server that integrates the SearXNG API, enabling AI assistants to perform private, self-hosted web searches through any SearXNG instance. It connects assistants like Claude and Cursor to web search, URL content reading, and instance capability discovery without requiring external API keys.
Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) with the server command (npx -y mcp-searxng or Docker) and set the SEARXNG_URL environment variable to your SearXNG instance URL. Once connected, your assistant can invoke tools like searxng_web_search, searxng_search_suggestions, searxng_instance_info, and web_url_read.
It is free, privacy-preserving, fully self-hosted, and supports web search, URL reading, pagination, failover, and more without requiring an API key.
