Marginalia MCP Server enables you to access Marginalia Search through an MCP client, letting you query independent and non-commercial content with integrated results right from your tooling. It focuses on discovering lesser-known sites and providing clear results with titles, descriptions, and URLs.

How to use

Connect to the Marginalia MCP Server from your MCP client using the standard server interface. You will use the search tool to run queries and receive a list of results. When you perform a search, provide the query string and optionally set how many results you want. The tool returns relevant pages from Marginalia Search, including titles and descriptions to help you assess relevance.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation: you must have Node.js installed on your system. You will also need a path where you place the Marginalia MCP Server files.

Create or update your MCP client configuration to register the Marginalia MCP Server. Include a local (stdio) entry that runs the server with Node and points to the server’s startup script.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "marginalia": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/marginalia-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Additional notes

Security and configuration reminders: ensure the path to the server script is correct and that your client can access the local Node process. No external endpoints are required for standard usage; this setup runs the server locally and connects via the MCP client’s native interface.

If you plan to extend functionality or integrate additional LLMs, you can explore how the Marginalia MCP Server can be augmented with extra capabilities. General guidance on extending MCP servers applies to this server as well.
