You run a privacy-focused MCP server that integrates with SearXNG to perform meta searches across multiple engines without tracking users. This server exposes a simple MCP interface you can connect to from your MCP clients, enabling configurable search categories, languages, time ranges, and safe search levels while relying on a local or remote SearXNG instance.

How to use

Connect to the SearXNG MCP Server from your MCP client by referencing the available MCP endpoint configurations. You can run the server directly on your machine or start it via your MCP client’s runtime integration.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing this MCP server are Node.js and npm. Ensure Node.js is installed and accessible in your shell by running node -v and npm -v.

Option 1: Install using a package manager global install (manual installation):

npm install -g @kevinwatt/mcp-server-searxng

Option 2: Install via Smithery for automatic client integration (example shown for a Claude Desktop client):

npx -y @smithery/cli install @kevinwatt/mcp-server-searxng --client claude
