MCP server providing SearXNG-based web search functionality
MCP server providing SearXNG-based web search functionality. Exposed over MCP by the searxng mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
A network search server based on MCP technology, providing privacy-friendly web search functionality using the SearXNG search engine.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
web_search — Perform web search using SearXNG@modelcontextprotocol/inspector on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Plenty of search and retrieval servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Searxng's toolset — web_search — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by D. Danchev; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

The simplest web tool that matters — fetch any URL and get model-ready markdown back.
Industrial-strength web extraction — render, scrape, crawl and search entire sites into clean markdown.
Puppeteer-powered browser control that drives pages from the accessibility tree instead of pixels.
Search built for AI, not humans — semantic web search that returns model-ready content, plus code context.
Answers, not links — delegate questions to Perplexity's search-grounded models and get cited responses back.
