## Description

This MCP server provides access to the 4get meta search engine, enabling web, image, and news searches through a privacy-focused search aggregator. Built by yshalsager using Python and FastMCP, it features comprehensive caching with TTL semantics, exponential backoff retry logic for rate limiting, and connection pooling for optimal performance. The implementation supports pagination through next-page tokens, extended search modes, and configurable parameters while handling authentication via pass tokens for rate-limited instances. Particularly valuable for users who need search capabilities without directly hitting major search engines, maintaining privacy while accessing aggregated results from multiple sources with built-in resilience against API rate limits and network failures.
