Overview

The mcp-server-local-web-search is a server designed to perform local web searches using the Model Context Protocol, allowing users to search and extract content from web pages efficiently.

To use the server, install the necessary dependencies with bun install, then run the setup script with bun run setup.ts to configure the server. You can perform searches using the local_web_search tool by providing a search query and an optional limit on the number of results.

  • Customizable result limits for web searches - Content extraction and processing from web pages - Structured results including titles, URLs, and descriptions - Support for content truncation and domain filtering - Clean content extraction using Readability
  1. Searching for specific information on the web and extracting relevant content.
  2. Filtering search results based on domains to focus on specific sources.
  3. Integrating with other applications to provide web search capabilities.
