## What searxNcrawl is

searxNcrawl is an MCP server and command-line tool. It searches the web through your own SearXNG instance and, opt-in, the You.com API, and crawls pages and whole sites into clean Markdown, also behind logins. AI agents call it through three MCP tools: search, crawl and crawl_site.

It runs on your own hardware. Search needs at least one provider: a SearXNG instance of your own with JSON output enabled, which needs no API key, and/or your own You.com API key.

## What is available and what is planned

The open-source server is released, currently as version 0.32.0. searxNcrawl Cloud, a managed version, is planned; none of its capabilities is available yet.

## How we work

We develop searxNcrawl in the open: changes go through pull requests with tests, and each release is listed in the changelog of the repository. This website follows the same habit.

- Every page has a Markdown twin; send Accept: text/markdown or append .md to the path.
- The website API is documented on the [Developers page](https://www.searxncrawl.io/developers/) and in an [OpenAPI 3.1 document](https://www.searxncrawl.io/openapi.json).
- Machine-readable guidance for agents is in the [llms.txt file](https://www.searxncrawl.io/llms.txt).
