CloakBrowser Search MCP

A 100% local, anti-bot-resilient web search Model Context Protocol (MCP) server utilizing cloakbrowser (a stealth Chromium automation tool).

Features

• Dual Search Engines: Search Google (default) or DuckDuckGo.

• Stealth Interaction: Google searches simulate natural human behavior (typing speed, keyboard navigation, and viewport configurations) to completely bypass CAPTCHAs and bot blocks.

• Self-Healing Fallback: Automatically switches to DuckDuckGo if Google blocks requests, ensuring 100% reliable results.

• Zero API Keys: Free, local, and private scraping.
