SearXNG Model Context Protocol Server

by aeon-seraph

SearXNG Model Context Protocol Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interfacing language models with SearXNG search engine.

Description

This server enables language models to perform web searches through SearXNG using the Model Context Protocol standard. It provides a clean interface for language models to send search queries to SearXNG and receive formatted results.

Installation

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/aeon-seraph/searxng-mcp.git cd searxng-mcp # Install dependencies npm install # Build the project npm run build

Requirements

Usage

# Run the server node build/index.js

The server will run on stdio, making it suitable for integration with MCP-compatible language models.

Configuration

The server can be configured using environment variables:

VariableDescriptionDefault
SEARXNG_PROTOCOLProtocol to use (http/https)http
SEARXNG_HOSTSearXNG hostlocalhost
SEARXNG_PORTSearXNG port8888
CACHE_TTLCache time-to-live in milliseconds600000 (10 minutes)
MAX_CACHE_SIZEMaximum number of cached queries100

Example:

SEARXNG_HOST=mysearx.example.com SEARXNG_PORT=443 SEARXNG_PROTOCOL=https node build/index.js

Docker

The project includes a Dockerfile for easy deployment:

# Build the Docker image docker build -t searxng-mcp . # Run the container docker run -e SEARXNG_HOST=mysearx.example.com -e SEARXNG_PROTOCOL=https searxng-mcp

Search Parameters

The search function supports the following parameters:

  • query (required): The search query string
  • categories: Comma-separated list of search categories
  • pageno: Search page number (default: 1)
  • time_range: Time range for results ("day", "week", "month", "year")
  • raw_json: Return raw JSON response instead of formatted text (default: false)
