"search" matching MCP servers:

Federated, local-first search for AI agents: one query fans across transcripts, files, a knowledge graph, a vector store, the live web, and YouTube, fused by trust-weighted RRF into one ranked answer. Five modes (grep/lexical/semantic/hybrid/rerank), runs entirely on your machine over MCP.

Enables to search academic papers in Japanese and English, inspect availability of full text, and download public PDFs locally.

Free, unlimited web search MCP server using Gemini CLI's Google Search grounding to provide cited, live web results for any AI agent.

Provides DuckDuckGo web search through MCP with automatic failover across multiple backends, enabling reliable query results even when individual backends are rate-limited or blocked.

Wraps the local agy CLI into an MCP server to provide a web_search tool that enables Claude Code to perform real internet searches through Gemini/Google.

A semantic search system for Claude Code transcript history, exposed as an MCP server so Claude Code can query its own past sessions.

Enables agents to find lines in local text files by meaning rather than exact keywords, judging each nonblank line against a natural-language intent and returning scores for every line. It complements lexical search by running locally over stdio and calling a hosted model for the semantic comparison.

Enables running web searches across multiple engines like Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo! JAPAN, and Brave via Playwright, with tools to fetch page content and manage browser profiles.

Enables AI agents to search local Markdown documents using natural language, with automatic indexing and section-level retrieval.

Enables any calling model to search public X content through Grok's native search using an existing local OAuth login, returning summaries, structured posts, source URLs, and search counts while sharing cached and concurrent searches across local terminals.

Enables AI clients to search, compare, and register products by integrating objective specifications, review-derived experiential attributes, and sales conditions such as price, shipping, and stock.

Enables read-only collection and comparison of Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster data, conservative URL protection, content auditing, reviewed-build verification, and private report generation through ten typed tools over stdio.

Provides hybrid search (BM25 + vector) and staleness reporting for local markdown notes, exposing search and indexing tools to AI assistants via MCP.

Semantic, on-demand skill retrieval for Claude Code that saves tokens and improves skill discovery by replacing the native skill listing with vector embedding search.

MCP server for searching files on macOS by name or content using semantic and lexical search, providing file paths and line numbers for agents to read from.

Tavily AI search API

Provides fully local, privacy-preserving semantic search over file names and paths via MCP, using BGE embeddings for fuzzy matching and supporting incremental updates, watch mode, and a loopback-only HTTP server.

Enables local, auditable semantic search over a pinned subset of Mirza Ghalib's Urdu corpus, retrieving existing couplets with provenance and license evidence.

Enables local, read-only keyword search across past Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and ChatGPT conversations plus markdown notes, with exact source citations and context retrieval.

Enables AI agents to run semantic search over local Obsidian or Markdown vaults, returning notes ranked by meaning with paths, headings, scores, and snippets, and to trigger incremental reindexing of changed notes. Everything runs on the user's own machine, so no note content leaves it.
