What problem does it solve?
Builders either leak research queries to one search API or context-switch out of the agent to browse results manually.
Who is it for?
Privacy-minded indie devs with a SearXNG instance who want multi-engine research inside Claude Code or Cursor.
Skip if: Teams unwilling to run or trust SearXNG infrastructure, or users who only need structured UK company filings.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Once SEARXNG_URL is set and the container is registered, your agent can run federated web search from the same session used for coding and notes.
- Agent-invokable federated web search against your SearXNG instance
- Reduced context switching during market and documentation research

Journey fit
Aggregated web search is a core Idea-phase research primitive that also supports launch SEO and grow content work. Research subphase is the canonical home for open-web discovery tools routed through MCP rather than manual browser tabs.
How it compares
Self-hosted meta-search MCP, not Bitcoin finance or ACF commerce governance.
