You can enable fast, private web search for your MCP-enabled applications with zero data retention. This server provides a lightweight interface to perform web searches while keeping user queries private, making it ideal for privacy-conscious integrations across MCP clients.

How to use

To use this MCP server, connect it to your MCP client and provide your Synthetic API key. You can run the server locally and query it through your client’s MCP interface, then receive privacy-focused search results in return.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing this MCP server:

Node.js 20 or higher
A Synthetic API key

Quick start steps to get up and running quickly:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/joephaser/synthetic-search-mcp.git
cd synthetic-search-mcp

# Install dependencies

Configuration

OpenCode integration with local runtime. You can run the MCP server locally and point your OpenCode client to the local index script, supplying your API key via environment variables.

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "synthetic_search": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["node", "/path/to/synthetic-search-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "environment": {
        "SYNTHETIC_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      },
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Security and notes

Keep your API key secure. Use environment variables to avoid exposing keys in code. The server is designed to minimize data exposure, aligning with zero-data-retention privacy goals.
