DuckDuckGo Search MCP

Important

DuckDuckGo Search MCP supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard, making it compatible with various AI assistants and tools.

✨ Features

Important

Unlike many search tools, this package performs actual web scraping rather than using limited APIs, giving you more comprehensive results.

🚀 Quick Start

npx -y @oevortex/ddg_search

Tip

This will download and run the MCP server directly without installation – perfect for quick use with AI assistants.

🛠️ Installation Options

npm install -g @oevortex/ddg_search

Run globally:

ddg-search-mcp

git clone https://github.com/OEvortex/ddg_search.git
cd ddg_search
npm install
npm start

🧑‍💻 Command Line Options

npx -y @oevortex/ddg_search --help

Tip

Use the --version flag to check which version you're running.

🤖 Using with MCP Clients

Important

The most common way to use this tool is by integrating it with MCP-compatible AI assistants.

Add the server to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ddg-search": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@oevortex/ddg_search"]
    }
  }
}

Or if installed globally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ddg-search": {
      "command": "ddg-search-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Tip

After configuring, restart your MCP client to apply the changes.
