A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes DuckDuckGo web search to LLM clients like Claude Desktop and Claude Code. It also fetches and parses webpage content, with rate limiting and LLM-friendly output formatting.
Use cases
- give claude the ability to search the web via duckduckgo
- add web search to an mcp-compatible ai assistant
- let an llm fetch and parse webpage content
- free web search tool for ai agents without api keys
- configure safe search and region for llm web searches
When to choose
- you use Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or another MCP client and need web search
- you want a keyless, free search backend for LLM agents
- you need SafeSearch and region configuration for search results
When to avoid
- you need search results outside an MCP/LLM context
- you require a search API with guaranteed SLA or high-volume scraping
- you need results from a specific engine like Google or Bing
