README

mcp-searxng

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that wraps a self-hosted [SearXNG](https://github.com/searxng/searxng) metasearch instance and gives [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) (or any MCP client) **9 search and reading tools** — including a person/people-vetting fan-out that no other SearXNG MCP ships.

Built with [FastMCP](https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp). No API keys required: SearXNG aggregates results from Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Wikipedia, and more for free.

What makes this different

Most SearXNG MCP servers expose one or two generic search tools. This one is opinionated for two specific workflows:

`search_person` — 8-angle due diligence in one call

Single call, eight targeted searches, deduplicated and categorized:

Angle	Query template
identity	`"Name" Location`
professional	`site:linkedin.com "Name" Location`
business	`"Name" LLC OR Inc OR Corp Location`
legal	`"Name" court OR lawsuit OR plaintiff OR defendant Location`
news	`"Name" Location Context`
social	`"Name" site:facebook.com OR site:instagram.com OR site:twitter.com`
property	`"Name" property OR real estate Location`
reddit	`"Name" Location site:reddit.com`

Returns categorized results plus a deduplicated master list ranked by multi-engine consensus. Replaces 8+ manual search calls in vetting / due-diligence / background-check workflows.

`search_deep` — multi-page fetch with consensus ranking

Fetches multiple pages of results, deduplicates by URL, and ranks each result by **how many engines surfaced it**. A result that appears in Google, Bing, *and* DuckDuckGo gets a higher `engine_count` than one only Brave returned — a built-in proxy for trustworthiness. Use this when you need broad, reliable coverage on a topic.
