SearchForge

Overview

SearchForge is a Model Context Protocol server that brings free, open-source web search and page reading to LLMs, AI agents, and RAG systems. As an MCP server, it integrates directly into AI assistants, exposing search and reading capabilities as tools your model can invoke on demand.

SearchForge runs locally via Docker. Start it with docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/divyanshu-iitian/searchforge-mcp:0.2.0. It communicates over stdio and requires an API key for authentication. The latest release is v0.2.0, published under the MIT license with source code at divyanshu-iitian/SearchForge on GitHub.

SearchForge belongs in the AI & Agents category and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain SearchForge, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
