Changelog

Public release history for searxng-mcp. Source of truth on GitHub: CHANGELOG.md.

Calver-style tags (YYYY.M.N), most recent first.

2026.6.23

Changed

  • Plugin compliance pass for the 88plug marketplace scaffold: calver version in .claude-plugin/plugin.json, keyword set expanded, CI/Pages workflows and manifest validator updated, MkDocs config hardened, tests/smoke.sh wiring check added.

2026.5.26

Changed — license

  • Relicensed from MIT to FSL-1.1-ALv2 (Functional Source License, Version 1.1, Apache-2.0 Future License). Competing Use (offering this software or a substantially similar substitute as a commercial product/service) is not a Permitted Purpose. Each released version converts to Apache License 2.0 on the second anniversary of its release date. See LICENSE.

Added — Claude Code plugin wrapper

  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json declares the searxng plugin. Install via: 
    /plugin marketplace add 88plug/claude-code-plugins
/plugin install searxng@88plug
  • Pure MCP remains usable independently via uvx --from git+https://github.com/88plug/searxng-mcp searxng-mcp.

2026.5.20

Added

  • MCP server for SearXNG with stdio and streamable-http transports
  • Search helpers for single-query, multi-query, and search-plus-fetch workflows
  • Token-efficient tool responses with full payloads in hidden metadata
  • Optional rendered fetching for JS-heavy pages
  • Docker and hardened Docker deployment paths
  • Benchmark tooling for latency and tool-payload checks

Changed

  • Distribution via git source (uvx --from git+…); no PyPI publication planned (bare searxng-mcp on PyPI is unrelated)
  • LM-callability hardening: multi-paragraph tool descriptions, constrained Annotated parameters, OpenAPI 3.0-intersection schemas for broad client compatibility
  • Tool annotations on every tool; prompt Literal args
  • Client config docs for Claude Code, Codex CLI, gemini-cli, opencode, and streamable-http

Security

  • Designed for trusted self-hosting
  • Arbitrary URL fetching must sit behind network controls or auth when exposed beyond trusted users

2026.5.1

Initial public release.

  • FastMCP-based SearXNG MCP server
  • Search, fetch, research, and health tools
  • Local and container-based deployment support
  • Public OSS governance files and security guidance
