Description

This repository implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that performs DuckDuckGo searches and exposes them as an easy-to-use search tool for agents. It supports parameters for query, result count, and safeSearch level, and returns nicely formatted Markdown search results. The server includes rate limiting (1 request/sec and 15,000 requests/month), error-handling, and development tooling (build/watch/inspector) to integrate with clients like Claude Desktop. It's built in TypeScript and intended as a community/prototyping implementation for adding web search capability to agents.
