sweetcornna / free-search-mcp
Local-first, no-API-key MCP server for web search, fetch, and document reading. Multi-engine (DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, Startpage), smart Playwright fallback, FTS5 cache, LLM-tuned output.
Why this job: name: mcp; says: mcp server; topics: model-context-protocol, mcp
What it does
It combines ideas from several open-source MCP servers in one Python package, and adds the output shaping for LLMs and the reliability work that each of them lacked.
