What the code does

We have not read this server's code yet, 39 d ago · rules 199b1fe17588

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

MCP Search Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Search Server?
MCP Search 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 pypi package mcp-search-server was installed 22 times last week.
Is MCP Search Server still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect MCP Search 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 mcp-search-server straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Search Server?
The pypi package mcp-search-server was installed 22 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.
