About SecretiveShell/MCP-searxng
MCP-searxng is an open-source MCP server that bridges AI agent systems with web search capabilities via searXNG, a metasearch engine. It provides a simple tool ('search') and corresponding prompt that allows agents to perform web searches by querying a configured searXNG instance. The server is easily installable via uvx or by cloning the repository, and supports custom searXNG URLs through an environment variable. It is licensed under MIT.
