MCP-searxng

An MCP server for connecting agentic systems to search systems via searXNG.

Tools

Search the web with SearXNG

Prompts

search(query: str) -> f"Searching for {query} using searXNG"

Usage

via uvx

configure your client JSON like

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searxng": {
      "command": "uvx", 
      "args": [
        "mcp-searxng"
      ]
    }
  }
}

via git clone

Add the server to claude desktop (the entrypoint is main.py)

Clone the repo and add this JSON to claude desktop

you can run this server with uvx mcp-searxng, or use a local copy of the repo

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searxng": {
      "command": "uv", 
      "args": [
        "--project",
        "/absoloute/path/to/MCP-searxng/",
        "run",
        "/absoloute/path/to/MCP-searxng/mcp-searxng/main.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

you will need to change the paths to match your environment

Custom SearXNG URL

set the environment variable SEARXNG_URL to the URL of the searxng server (default is http://localhost:8080)
run your MCP client and you should be able to search the web with searxng

Note: if you are using claude desktop make sure to kill the process (task manager or equivalent) before running the server again
