        }
    }
}

You run a lightweight, MCP-compliant server that blends web search with AI-powered answers. It serves fast, private results by combining web scraping with AI tools, and it works with MCP clients out of the box to power your assistants and agents.

How to use

You use this server by connecting it to an MCP client. The server exposes web search, AI search, and Monica-style search capabilities, enabling your assistant to fetch current web results and AI-generated insights in a single integration.

To get started, add the server configuration to your MCP client so it can start and route queries to the right tool. You can run the server directly with a quick npx command or install it globally for repeated use, then point your MCP client at the running process.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js installed or a compatible runtime that can execute MCP tooling. You should also have a capable package manager available (npm, Yarn, or pnpm) to install and run the MCP server.

# Quick start: run instantly without installation
npx -y @oevortex/ddg_search@latest

Install options include global installs or local development setup. Choose the path that fits your workflow.

# Global installation (npm)
npm install -g @oevortex/ddg_search

ddg-search-mcp

# Global installation (Yarn)
yarn global add @oevortex/ddg_search

ddg-search-mcp

# Global installation (pnpm)
pnpm add -g @oevortex/ddg_search

ddg-search-mcp

# Local installation (Development)
git clone https://github.com/OEvortex/ddg_search.git
cd ddg_search
npm install
npm start

# Or with Yarn
yarn install
yarn start

# Or with pnpm
pnpm install
pnpm start

Using with MCP Clients

Your MCP client needs to know how to start and connect to the server. You have two common options: run the server via npx for a quick start, or run a locally installed command for a persistent setup.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ddg-search": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@oevortex/ddg_search@latest"]
    }
  }
}

If you prefer a globally installed command, you can configure the MCP client to use the executable name directly.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ddg-search": {
      "command": "ddg-search-mcp"
    }
  }
}
