What is the Searxng MCP Server?

A Python client for interacting with local/LAN SearXNG instances.

What you get

A Python client library crafted by JamePeng (jame_peng@sina.com) for seamless interaction with your self-hosted SearXNG instance. This library empowers you to programmatically perform various searches (text, images, videos, news, etc.) against your local or LAN-deployed SearXNG server, giving you full control over your search data without relying on external APIs.

  • Connect to Local/LAN SearXNG: — Easily specify the base URL (IP address and port) of your self-hosted SearXNG instance, supporting both local and network-accessible deployments
  • Text Search: — Perform general web searches and retrieve structured results
  • Structured Output: — Receive search results in a clean, parseable JSON format
  • Robust Error Handling: — Comprehensive error management for network issues, server responses, and parsing failures
  • Customizable: — Extendable to support more SearXNG categories and search types

Configuration and credentials

  • Python 3.9+: Ensure you have a compatible Python version installed. * Docker & Docker Compose: (Recommended for setting up SearXNG) Make sure Docker and Docker Compose are installed on your system.
