About SecretiveShell/MCP-searxng

SecretiveShell/MCP-searxng is an open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server written in Python that connects AI agents to the searXNG meta search engine. It exposes search functionality as standardized tools, allowing agents to retrieve web results from a configurable searXNG instance.

Best for

Developers building autonomous agents or tools that need web search without relying on proprietary APIs

Use cases

  • Give an AI agent the ability to search the web for current information
  • Replace paid search APIs with a self-hosted, privacy-respecting backend
  • Add real-time data retrieval to LLM-powered workflows and applications

Notes

118 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-05-29. Licensed MIT.

Pros

  • Free and open source, no usage fees or tokens
  • Uses the MCP standard so it works with any compatible agent framework
  • Self-hosting via searXNG gives control over privacy and search sources

Cons

  • Requires setting up and maintaining a working searXNG instance
  • Search quality and speed depend on searXNG's upstream aggregators
  • Small community (118 stars) means limited documentation and support

Security check static checks

97 out of 100

Reads what is published about the server: package advisories, licence, secrets in the documented setup and tool permissions. Nothing is installed or run, so this is not a security assessment. Checked by edna-static-v1. What it checks

Licence: MIT

  • Low The documented install uses mcp-searxng, whose published metadata names no source repository. Check it is the right package before installing.
  • Note No published npm or PyPI package of this repository was found, so package advisories were not checked.
  • Note The lab has not recorded this server's tool list yet, so tool permissions were not checked.
