This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SEARXNG_URL (Base URL of the SearXNG instance), SEARXNG_TRANSPORT (Transport: stdio (default) or http (Streamable HTTP, 2026-07-28 revision only)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

SearXNG MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for SearXNG MCP Server?

SearXNG MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package searxng-mcp-server was installed 869 times last week.

How do I connect SearXNG MCP Server?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls searxng-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use SearXNG MCP Server?

The npm package searxng-mcp-server was installed 869 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is SearXNG MCP Server open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
