Magpie SearchBLOCK
Federated, local-first search for an AI — one query across transcripts, files, knowledge graph, vector store, and the web, fused by trust-weighted RRF. Apache-2.0.
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
Magpie Search
A federated search engine — the search engine an AI agent or LLM reaches for when it needs to find something true to reason over.
Ever had your computer reboot on you, or a power outage hit mid-session? Every thread your agent was holding — gone. Now you have the tool to get it back. Never forget what your agent lost again. Magpie indexes everything your AI has ever worked through, locally, so a crash is a hiccup instead of amnesia.
What Magpie is
A normal search engine looks in one place. Magpie takes one question and fans it across everything that matters at once — the AI's entire conversation history, the files on the machine, a structured knowledge graph, a vector store, and the live web — and pulls the answer back from wherever it actually lives. Five sources, one call.
And it searches each one the right way. It can grep for an exact string or regex when you know the precise token — a file path, an error, a line of code. It can search by keyword. It can search by meaning, so it finds the thing even when the words don't match. It can do all of that at once.
Then it does the part that makes it trustworthy: it fuses everything into a single ranked answer, and every result carries a trust tier — `fact > re

Questions
What is the Magpie Search MCP server?
Federated, local-first search for an AI — one query across transcripts, files, knowledge graph, vector store, and the web, fused by trust-weighted RRF. Apache-2.0.
Is Magpie Search safe to connect to an agent?
No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (58/100) and found 1 critical or high issue in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.
What credentials does Magpie Search need?
It reads GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD and MAGPIE_SEARCH_TOKENIZER from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does Magpie Search run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as magpie-search.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (a88007eedd65), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
