# 🚀 OneSearch MCP Server: Web Search, URL Discovery, Scraper & Content Prep
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that integrates with multiple search providers for web search, local browser search, URL discovery, and scraping capabilities with agent-browser.
## Features
- Web search, scrape, discover URLs, and preprocess content from websites.
- Support multiple search engines and web scrapers: **SearXNG**, **Tavily**, **DuckDuckGo**, **Bing**, **Google**, **Zhipu (智谱)**, **Exa**, **Bocha (博查)**, **You.com**, etc.
- **Local web search** (browser search), support multiple search engines: **Bing**, **Google**, **Baidu**, **Sogou**, etc.
- Use `agent-browser` for browser automation.
- Free, no API keys required.
- **Enabled tools:** `one_search`, `one_scrape`, `one_map`, `one_extract`
## Current Tool Surface
- `one_search`
- Returns search results from the configured provider.
- `one_map`
- Discovers links from a starting URL by loading the page in the browser and extracting links from its HTML.
- Supported input fields: `url`, `search`, `includeSubdomains`, `limit`.
- This is not a sitemap crawler; removed fields such as `ignoreSitemap` and `sitemapOnly` are rejected at the schema boundary.
- `one_scrape`
- Scrapes one page and returns content selected by `formats`.
- Supported input fields: `url`, `formats`, `waitFor`, `timeout`, `skipTlsVerification`, `allowExecuteJavascript`, `actions`.
- Supported formats: `markdown`, `html`, `rawHtml`, `links`, `screenshot`, `screenshot@fullPage`.
- Supported bounded pre-scrape actions: `wait`, `click`, `write`, `press`, `scroll`.
- Advanced pre-scrape action: `executeJavascript`. If `actions` contains `executeJavascript`, you must set `allowExecuteJavascript: true`.
- `actions` run serially before content capture and fail fast on the first action error.
- Removed fields such as `onlyMainContent`, `extract`, and `location` are rejected at the schema boundary.
- `one_extract`
- Accepts only `urls` and returns preprocessed text blocks for downstream tools or models.
## Migration from v1.1.0 and Earlier
**Breaking Changes in v1.1.0:**
- **Firecrawl Removed**: The Firecrawl integration has been removed in favor of `agent-browser`, which provides similar functionality without requiring external API services.
- **New Browser Requirement**: You must install Chromium browser (see Prerequisites section).
- **Environment Variables**: `FIRECRAWL_API_URL` and `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` are no longer used.
**What Changed:**
- `one_scrape` and `one_map` now use `agent-browser` instead of Firecrawl
- `one_extract` now preprocesses multi-URL page content for downstream analysis instead of performing built-in LLM extraction
- All browser-based operations are now handled locally, providing better privacy and no API costs
**Migration Steps:**
1. Install Chromium browser (see Prerequisites)
2. Remove `FIRECRAWL_API_URL` and `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` from your environment variables
3. Update to the latest version: `npm install -g one-search-mcp@latest`
## Prerequisites
**Browser Requirement**: This server uses `agent-browser` for web scraping and local search, which requires a Chromium-based browser.
**Good News**: The server will automatically detect and use browsers already installed on your system:
- ✅ Google Chrome
- ✅ Microsoft Edge
- ✅ Chromium
- ✅ Google Chrome Canary
**If you don't have any of these browsers installed**, you can:
```bash
# Option 1: Install Google Chrome (Recommended)
# Download from: https://www.google.com/chrome/
# Option 2: Install Microsoft Edge
# Download from: https://www.microsoft.com/edge
# Option 3: Install Chromium via agent-browser
npx agent-browser install
# Option 4: Install Chromium directly
# Download from: https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium/
```
## Installation
### Using Claude Code CLI (Recommended)
```bash
# Add to Claude Code with default settings (local search)
claude mcp add one-search-mcp -- npx -y one-search-mcp
# Add with custom search provider (e.g., SearXNG)
claude mcp add one-search-mcp -e SEARCH_PROVIDER=searxng -e SEARCH_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080 -- npx -y one-search-mcp
# Add with Tavily API
claude mcp add one-search-mcp -e SEARCH_PROVIDER=tavily -e SEARCH_API_KEY=your_api_key -- npx -y one-search-mcp
```
### Manual Installation
```bash
# Install globally (Optional)
npm install -g one-search-mcp
# Or run directly with npx
npx -y one-search-mcp
```
### Local Debugging with MCP Inspector
Use the official MCP Inspector to interactively test tools, resources, and prompts against this server during local development.
```bash
# Inspect the TypeScript source entrypoint
npm run inspector
# Inspect the built server entrypoint
npm run inspector:build
# Example with explicit environment variables
ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK=true SEARCH_PROVIDER=local npm run inspector
```
### Using Docker
Docker image includes all dependencies (Chromium browser) pre-installed, no additional setup required.
**Pull the image:**
```bash
# From GitHub Container Registry
docker pull ghcr.io/yokingma/one-search-mcp:latest
# Or from Docker Hub
docker pull zacma/one-search-mcp:latest
```
**Configure with Claude Desktop:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"one-search-mcp": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/yokingma/one-search-mcp:latest"],
"env": {
"SEARCH_PROVIDER": "local"
}
}
}
}
```
**With custom search provider:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"one-search-mcp": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run", "-i", "--rm",
"-e", "SEARCH_PROVIDER=tavily",
"-e", "SEARCH_API_KEY=your_api_key",
"ghcr.io/yokingma/one-search-mcp:latest"
]
}
}
}
```
## Environment Variables
### Search Provider
- **SEARCH_PROVIDER** (Optional): The search provider to use, supports `searxng`, `duckduckgo`, `bing`, `tavily`, `google`, `zhipu`, `exa`, `bocha`, `ydc`, `local`, default is `local`.
- **SEARCH_API_URL** (Optional): The URL of the SearxNG API, or Google Custom Search Engine ID for `google`.
- **SEARCH_API_KEY** (Optional): The API key for the search provider, required for `tavily`, `bing`, `google`, `zhipu`, `exa`, `bocha`.
- **YDC_API_KEY** (Optional): You.com API key for `SEARCH_PROVIDER=ydc`.
```ts
// supported search providers
export type SearchProvider = 'searxng' | 'duckduckgo' | 'bing' | 'tavily' | 'google' | 'zhipu' | 'exa' | 'bocha' | 'ydc' | 'local';
```
### Browser Network Security
- **ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK** (Optional): Set to `true` to allow browser-backed tools (`one_scrape`, `one_map`, `one_extract`) to access private, loopback, and link-local network targets. Defaults to `false`.
Use `ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK=true` only in trusted deployments. When enabled, prompt injection or untrusted tool inputs can make the MCP process fetch internal services that are otherwise blocked by default.

## Self-hosting SearXNG (Optional)
If you want to use SearXNG as your search provider, you can deploy it locally using Docker:
**Prerequisites:**
- Docker installed and running (version 20.10.0 or higher)
- At least 4GB of RAM available
**Quick Start:**
```bash
# Clone SearXNG Docker repository
git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker.git
cd searxng-docker
# Start SearXNG
docker compose up -d
```
After deployment, SearXNG will be available at `http://127.0.0.1:8080` by default.
**Configure OneSearch to use SearXNG:**
```bash
# Set environment variables
export SEARCH_PROVIDER=searxng
export SEARCH_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080
```
For more details, see the [official SearXNG Docker documentation](https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker).
## Troubleshooting
### Browser not found error
If you see an error like "Browser not found", the server couldn't detect any installed Chromium-based browser. Please install one of the following:
- **Google Chrome**: <https://www.google.com/chrome/>
- **Microsoft Edge**: <https://www.microsoft.com/edge>
- **Chromium**: <https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium/>
Or install via agent-browser:
```bash
npx agent-browser install
```
