web_research — keyless web research MCP
A web research MCP server that needs no API keys. Search runs through the DuckDuckGo HTML endpoint; fetching falls through multiple backends until one succeeds.
Tools
Tool | What it does |
| DuckDuckGo HTML search — titles, URLs, snippets. No key. |
| Fetch one URL through the multi-backend chain: httpx → undici (Node) → playwright |
| Iterative research loop: search, fetch, refine, summarize across rounds |
| Report which fetch backends are available right now |
| Log a research finding with provenance |
