## Description

SearXNG MCP Server provides a bridge between AI assistants and SearXNG, a privacy-respecting metasearch engine. Developed by Cline, this TypeScript implementation enables assistants to perform web searches with customizable parameters including language filters, time ranges, and category selections. The server connects to a user-specified SearXNG instance (with optional basic authentication support), translates search requests into appropriate API calls, and returns markdown-formatted results. It's particularly valuable for users who want to maintain privacy while giving their AI assistants the ability to search the web for current information without leaving their conversation context.
