An [MCP server](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) that integrates the [SearXNG](https://docs.searxng.org) API, giving AI assistants web search capabilities.
✨ Featured in the [GitHub MCP Registry](https://github.com/mcp/ihor-sokoliuk/mcp-searxng).

## Quick Start
Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g. `claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"searxng": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-searxng"],
"env": {
"SEARXNG_URL": "YOUR_SEARXNG_INSTANCE_URL"
}
}
}
}
```
Replace `YOUR_SEARXNG_INSTANCE_URL` with the URL of your SearXNG instance (e.g. `https://searxng.example.com`). You can also provide interchangeable replicas as a semicolon-separated list, e.g. `https://one.example.com;https://two.example.com`.
## Features
- **Web Search**: General, news, and article queries with pagination, time-range/language/safe-search filters, relevance filtering (`min_score`), and formatted-text or raw-JSON output (`response_format`).
- **Instance Failover & Fan-out**: Configure interchangeable SearXNG replicas in `SEARXNG_URL`; searches fail over in order by default, or query all healthy replicas in parallel and merge results with `SEARXNG_FANOUT`.
- **Direct Answers & Metadata**: Text results surface SearXNG answers, corrections, suggestions, and infoboxes before the result list.
- **Search Suggestions**: Query autocomplete via SearXNG's `/autocompleter` endpoint.
- **Instance Capability Discovery**: Inspect configured categories, engines, defaults, locales, and plugins from `/config`.
- **URL Content Reading**: Content-type-aware Markdown conversion with pagination, section filtering, paragraph ranges, and heading extraction.
- **Intelligent Caching**: Both search results and URL content are cached in memory with configurable TTL and LRU eviction, reducing redundant requests.
- **SSRF Protection**: `web_url_read` blocks private/internal URLs and redirects by default in all transport modes.
- **HTTP Transport**: Optional Streamable HTTP mode with opt-in hardening — bearer-token auth, CORS allowlist, and rate limiting.
- **HTML Fallback**: Optionally parse results from the HTML page for public instances that reject `format=json`.
- **Lite Tools Mode**: Minimal tool schemas for local models with small context windows.
- **Proxy Support**: Global or per-tool HTTP/HTTPS proxies for search and URL-reader traffic.
