Which tools does searxng-mcp provide?

It primarily exposes the `search` tool for querying SearXNG and returning JSON results, and the `browse` tool to fetch URLs, convert them to Markdown, with built-in SSRF controls. `engines` and `health` tools are also available.

How can I configure searxng-mcp?

Configuration is highly versatile, supporting CLI flags, environment variables, and TOML configuration files. This allows fine-grained control over SearXNG settings, tool exposure, and browsing parameters.

searxng-mcp is a standalone Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to integrate SearXNG functionalities, making them accessible as powerful tools for AI and LLM applications.

How can I deploy searxng-mcp?

searxng-mcp offers flexible deployment options including running directly via Cargo, managing with Nix, orchestrating with Docker Compose, or as a dedicated NixOS service for seamless integration.
