MCP DDG Research
A lightweight MCP server for DuckDuckGo HTML search with optional ddgs mode, safe webpage fetching, caching, and clean text extraction.
About MCP DDG Research
A minimal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that brings DuckDuckGo search into your AI agents, with clean page fetching, HTML-to-text extraction, and a local cache so you never re-hit the same page.
Features
- DuckDuckGo HTML search via a zero-tracking endpoint
- Optional
ddgslibrary mode for richer query results - Safe page fetching with sensible User-Agent, content-type filtering, and timeout
- Built-in result cache — same URL never fetches twice
- Markdown-ready text extraction from most HTML pages
Why MCP
Plug it into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any other MCP-compatible client and the AI stops hallucinating URLs. Instead of recalling outdated information, it can search fresh content on demand and cite its findings.
