About mcp-searxng

ihor-sokoliuk/mcp-searxng

MCP Server for SearXNG

Exposes two MCP tools: `searxng_web_search` with filtering by time range, language, and safe search level; and `web_url_read` for extracting markdown content with section filtering and paragraph range selection. Implements TTL-based caching for URL content and supports configurable proxy routing per tool, HTTP Basic Auth, and custom User-Agent headers for both search and content extraction interfaces.
