Uses DuckDuckGo's search API to provide ethical, tracking-free web search results that Claude can incorporate into responses
Claude MCP Server
A lightweight bridge enabling Claude AI to search the web in real-time. This Flask-based server integrates Claude's advanced capabilities with DuckDuckGo search, allowing the AI to access current information during conversations.
Project Overview
This project implements a server that enables Claude to perform web searches during conversations. It consists of:
MCP Server: A Flask server that handles tool calls and performs web searches
Claude Integration: A client that connects to Claude's API and manages tool use capabilities
Command-line Interface: A simple way to interact with Claude + web search capabilities
Features
๐ Web Search Integration: Allows Claude to search for information on the web
๐ค Claude 3 API Support: Works with Claude's latest models and tool use features
๐ DuckDuckGo Search: Uses DuckDuckGo for ethical, tracking-free search results
โก Fast Responses: Streamlined architecture for quick information retrieval
๐ฌ Natural Conversation: Claude can seamlessly incorporate web search results into conversations
