Description

SearXNG MCP Bridge is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects MCP-aware clients to a configured SearXNG instance, enabling web searches and health checks via MCP tools. It supports both STDIO (default) and HTTP streaming transports, including session management, CORS, rate limiting, and optional bearer authentication. The project makes it straightforward to integrate a self-hosted SearXNG search backend into agent workflows while providing monitoring and security features.
