Script runner for LLM Benchmark project
If you want an AI assistant working directly with Searxng Simple MCP, the searxng simple mcp mcp server is the bridge. Script runner for LLM Benchmark project.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides web search capabilities using SearxNG, allowing AI assistants like Claude to search the web.
This project implements an MCP server that connects to SearxNG, a privacy-respecting metasearch engine. The server provides a simple and efficient way for Large Language Models to search the web without tracking users.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 2 tools directly:
Features — The Features tool exposed by this serverPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverThe server is distributed via PyPI as run, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: SEARXNG_MCP_SEARXNG_URL. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
AI-service servers chain other models into your assistant, turning a single chat into a small production pipeline. Searxng Simple MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Features, Prerequisites — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other ai services servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

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.
Put 6,000+ pre-built scrapers at your assistant's fingertips through one MCP endpoint.
