An MCP server for connecting agentic systems to search systems via searXNG.
Search the web with searXNG
search(query: str) -> f"Searching for {query} using searXNG"
- Add the server to claude desktop (the entrypoint is main.py)
Clone the repo and add this json to claude desktop
{
"mcpServers": {
"searxng": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--project",
"/absoloute/path/to/MCP-searxng/",
"run",
"/absoloute/path/to/MCP-searxng/mcp-searxng/main.py"
]
}
}
}
obviously you will need to change the paths to match your environment
-
set the environment variable
SEARXNG_URL
to the url of the searxng server (default ishttp://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
