Project description
中文 | English
🔍 MCP Web Search Server
Free forever. No API key required. A web search MCP server that works out of the box with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI tool.
pip install heventure-search-mcp
✨ Why?
Most MCP search servers require you to sign up for API keys (Bing, Google, SerpAPI...). This one works immediately — zero configuration, zero cost, zero sign-ups.
