MCP Seekr Server

A production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides web search and content extraction capabilities via the Seekr API.

๐Ÿ“‹ Requirements

  • Python 3.10+: This MCP server requires Python 3.10 or higher to run

โœจ Features

  • Web Search: Search Google and Wikipedia with advanced filtering

  • Content Extraction: Extract clean text content from any webpage

  • Input Validation: Comprehensive validation for URLs and search queries

  • Rate Limiting: Built-in protection against API abuse (100 calls/minute)

  • Health Monitoring: Health check endpoint for monitoring

  • Environment Configuration: Configurable via environment variables

  • Production Ready: Comprehensive error handling and logging

  • MCP Compatible: Works with all MCP-enabled AI clients

๐Ÿš€ Quick Start

Installation

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/seekr-sh/mcp-server-seekr.git cd mcp-seekr # Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt # Optional: Create and configure .env file cp .env.example .env

Running the Server

# Start the server (for development) python seekr.py # Or after installation mcp-server-seekr

The server runs with stdio transport for MCP client compatibility.

๐Ÿ”ง Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the project root:

# Seekr API Configuration SEEKR_BASE_URL=https://engine.seekr.sh SEEKR_API_KEY=your_api_key_here SEEKR_TIMEOUT=30 SEEKR_MAX_RETRIES=3 # Rate Limiting MAX_CALLS_PER_MINUTE=100 # Logging LOG_LEVEL=INFO # Server Configuration (optional) PORT=8000 HOST=127.0.0.1

Note: You can also set these as environment variables directly instead of using a .env file. The application will automatically load from .env if it exists, or fall back to system environment variables.

MCP Client Configuration

For Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "seekr": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-server-seekr"], "env": { "SEEKR_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } }

Alternative configuration (using Python directly):

{ "mcpServers": { "seekr": { "command": "python3", "args": ["/path/to/mcp-seekr/seekr.py"], "env": { "SEEKR_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } }

This server uses stdio transport for MCP compatibility.

๐ŸŽฏ Usage Examples

When to Use the Tools

Use

  • Current information, recent news, or developments that may have changed since your last training data

  • Real-time web search results from Google or Wikipedia

  • Localized content in different languages and regions

  • Advanced search operators (site-specific, file types, date ranges, etc.)

Use

  • To read the actual content of a webpage or article

  • Clean text extraction from websites you can't access directly

  • Analyzing web page content or online documents

Basic Web Search

# Current news and recent developments { "name": "seekr_search", "arguments": { "query": "latest developments in quantum computing 2024", "engine": "google", "language": "en", "num": 10, "time_range": "month" } } # Localized search in Portuguese { "name": "seekr_search", "arguments": { "query": "notรญcias sobre inteligรชncia artificial no Brasil", "engine": "google", "language": "pt", "region": "BR", "num": 5 } }

Advanced Search with Operators

# Search specific sites for technical documentation { "name": "seekr_search", "arguments": { "query": "machine learning tutorial", "site": "github.com", "filetype": "pdf", "intitle": "guide", "num": 20 } } # News search with time filter { "name": "seekr_search", "arguments": { "query": "climate change solutions", "search_type": "news", "time_range": "week", "language": "en" } }

Web Content Extraction

# Extract article content { "name": "seekr_fetch", "arguments": { "url": "https://example.com/article", "language": "en" } } # Extract Portuguese content { "name": "seekr_fetch", "arguments": { "url": "https://example.com/artigo", "language": "pt" } }
