SearchHub MCP Server

local only

SearchHub runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 21 Sep 2026.

Aggregate Serper, Tavily, Exa and AnySearch behind one MCP-ready API with key rotation and quotas.

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check SearchHub every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add searchhub -- npx -y searchhub
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searchhub": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "searchhub"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.searchhub]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "searchhub"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searchhub": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "searchhub"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searchhub": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "searchhub"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SEARCHHUB_HOME (Directory holding store.json, settings.json and logs. Defaults to ~/.search-hub. Set this if you keep provider keys somewhere other than the default location.), SEARCHHUB_SECRET (Master key used to decrypt stored provider keys. Must match the value that was in effect when the keys were saved.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

SearchHub — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for SearchHub?
SearchHub 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 searchhub.
How do I connect SearchHub?
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 searchhub straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is SearchHub open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 3 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
