Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
An MCP server that queries public SearXNG instances, parsing HTML contents into a JSON result
Rationale
All the MCP servers for SearXNG that I've seen use "json" as the output format. While that is certainly a faster way to code a SearXNG MCP server, it will make it fail on virtually all public servers since they don't expose the JSON format.
This server will read from up to three public SearXNG servers (using one as main and the others as fallback) and will parse the results into JSON.
Installation
Install via npm install mcp-searxng-public.
If the server is installed, the run configuration is (for Cursor or Cursor-compatible clients) as follows:
{
"SearXNGScraper": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-searxng-public"],
"capabilities": {
"tool-calls": true
},
"env": {
"SEARXNG_BASE_URL": "https://metacat.online;https://nyc1.sx.ggtyler.dev;https://ooglester.com;https://search.080609.xyz;https://search.canine.tools;https://search.catboy.house;https://search.citw.lgbt;https://search.einfachzocken.eu;https://search.federicociro.com;https://search.hbubli.cc;https://search.im-in.space;https://search.indst.eu",
"DEFAULT_LANGUAGE": "en"
}
}
}
Note: You may need to adjust the env variables, particularly SEARXNG_BASE_URL, to point to your preferred SearXNG instances. The DEFAULT_LANGUAGE can also be set as needed. You can run the report task to get a report on good (accessible) SearXNG instances which you can put in the URLs line.

Questions
What is the SearXNG Scraper MCP server?
An MCP server that queries public SearXNG instances, parsing HTML contents into a JSON result
What tools does SearXNG Scraper expose?
1 in total: 1 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is SearXNG Scraper safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does SearXNG Scraper need?
No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (55b421599db7), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
