An MCP server that exposes a SearXNG metasearch instance to AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients. It provides web search with pagination, time-range/language/safe-search filters, relevance scoring, and URL reading, keeping search traffic under an operator-controlled or self-hosted instance.
Use cases
- give Claude Desktop or Cursor privacy-respecting web search via my own SearXNG instance
- add a self-hosted web search tool to any MCP client
- search the web from an AI assistant without sending queries to third-party search APIs
- run an MCP server that proxies SearXNG with pagination and safe-search filters
- let an LLM agent fetch and read URLs through a trusted metasearch backend
- configure multiple SearXNG replicas for resilient AI assistant search
When to choose
- you already run or trust a SearXNG instance and want AI assistants to use it
- you need MCP-compatible web search for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, or other MCP clients
- privacy matters and you want to avoid commercial search API keys and tracking
- you want filters like time range, language, safe search, and min-score relevance in agent search
When to avoid
- you have no SearXNG instance and don't want to host or trust one
- you need a general-purpose search API outside the MCP ecosystem
- your assistant doesn't support the Model Context Protocol
