Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

autocomplete
get_autocomplete
DuckDuckGo's search suggestions for a partial query. Billing per call: 1 Credits.
get
get
DuckDuckGo web search: the organic results (url, title, plain and HTML snippet, result types, host, sublinks, date, site name, rating) and the other blocks of the same answer: ads, related searches, the knowledge panel, the AI answer when DuckDuckGo gives it inline, and the news, image and video strips. Blocks DuckDuckGo did not send are empty lists or null. Billing per call: 1 Credits.
images
get_images
DuckDuckGo Images for a query (title, page url, image, thumbnail, width, height). Up to 100 images a page. Billing per call: 1 Credits.
news
get_news
DuckDuckGo News for a query, newest coverage first as DuckDuckGo orders it (title, url, excerpt, source, date, image). About 25 articles a page. Billing per call: 1 Credits.
places
get_places
DuckDuckGo's local results (its Places module and Maps tab): businesses and places with category, address, coordinates, phone, website, rating, review count, price level, opening hours, open now, amenities, photos, menu and sample reviews (rating, text, date). DuckDuckGo takes the listings from Tripadvisor or Yelp depending on the area; `source` names it. Name the place in the query ("coffee in berlin germany") or pass latitude and longitude; with neither, DuckDuckGo searches around the address the request leaves from, and a place name several countries share can resolve to the one nearest that address, so add the country. Billing per call: 1 Credits.
videos
get_videos
DuckDuckGo Videos for a query (title, url, description, duration, published, publisher, uploader, views, thumbnail). Up to 60 videos a page. Billing per call: 1 Credits.

Duckduckgo — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Duckduckgo do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get, get_autocomplete, get_images, get_news, get_places, get_videos. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Duckduckgo working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 361 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Duckduckgo?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Duckduckgo need an API key?
No. Duckduckgo completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Duckduckgo?
It answers our handshake in 361 ms on average, which is faster than 36% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
