Tools

Search the web with searXNG

Prompts

search(query: str) -> f"Searching for {query} using searXNG"

Usage

  1. Add the server to claude desktop (the entrypoint is main.py)

Clone the repo and add this json to claude desktop

{ "mcpServers": { "searxng": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--project", "/absoloute/path/to/MCP-searxng/", "run", "/absoloute/path/to/MCP-searxng/mcp-searxng/main.py" ] } } }

obviously you will need to change the paths to match your environment

  1. set the environment variable SEARXNG_URL to the url of the searxng server (default is http://localhost:8080)
  2. run your MCP client and you should be able to search the web with searxng

Note: if you are using claude desktop make sure to kill the process (task manager or equivalent) before running the server again

GitHub Badge

Glama performs regular codebase and documentation scans to:

  • Confirm that the MCP server is working as expected.
  • Confirm that there are no obvious security issues with dependencies of the server.
  • Extract server characteristics such as tools, resources, prompts, and required parameters.

Our directory badge helps users to quickly asses that the MCP server is safe, server capabilities, and instructions for installing the server.
