SearXNG for Claude Desktop

This MCP Bundle adds web search to Claude Desktop through a SearXNG instance selected by the user. It supports engine and category selection, language and time-range filters, and bounded result counts.

Requirements

  • Claude Desktop on macOS or Windows

  • Network access to the selected SearXNG instance

The extension uses the MCPB uv runtime to create an isolated environment and install its pinned searxng dependency; users do not need to install Python or uv. Enter the base URL of a SearXNG instance during installation. For predictable privacy and availability, use an instance you operate or whose operator you trust.

Privacy Policy

The extension runs locally and does not send search queries to its maintainer. It sends each query and its search options directly to the SearXNG instance the user configures. It does not persist queries or results, use analytics or advertising trackers, create user profiles, or share data with the maintainer. Request data is discarded from memory after the request.

The selected SearXNG instance and the search engines it contacts are independent third parties with their own collection, use, sharing, and retention practices. Review the selected instance's privacy notice before sending sensitive queries. See the complete privacy policy for data-flow and contact details.

    Disambiguation5/5

    With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion or overlapping purposes. The tool's function is singular and clearly defined.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    The single tool name 'web_search' follows a clean snake_case verb_noun pattern. There are no conflicting naming conventions to create inconsistency.

    Tool Count3/5

    The server exposes only one tool, which feels thin even though web search is its core purpose. It is borderline: sufficient for a narrow scope, but lacking any supporting operations or additional configurability.

    Completeness5/5

    For the stated domain of web search via SearXNG, the single tool fully covers the core operation. There are no obvious missing capabilities within the server's narrow scope.
