TinySearch wraps this and works well for agents. It's better than the native SearXNG MCP because it optimizes the context before it even gets to the agent so as to not waste tokens. https://github.com/MarcellM01/TinySearch

#13Been a fan of searX for a while. Not sure if this is the same thing but there were plenty of hosted versions too.

SearXNG did not include a built-in MCP server, last time I checked.

#15I have used SearXNG hosts like https://searx.be/ but stick with Brave search for the most part. Are there other good hosts people tend to use?
Personally, I self-host it myself. All the hosts I tried either errored often, or gave search results that were complete garbage.

#16It works well if you connect it the Brave Search API, but using it a scraper is fairly unreliable. Google stopped working a few days ago.

#19I've been using SearXNG for a few years now, however I've been trying out Degoog as a SearXNG alternative since I've had issues with engines constantly failing or being slow since day 1 of using SearXNG, but Degoog has worse results with the same engines. It's a shame since I'm having to pick between slower but better results, or very fast but worse results.
