MCP Server for SearXNG
This project helps AI assistant developers give their AI assistants powerful web search capabilities. It acts as a bridge, taking search requests from an AI assistant and sending them to a SearXNG instance. The AI assistant then receives structured search results and extracted web page content. Developers building custom AI assistants or integrations would use this.
