searxNcrawl is an open-source MCP server and CLI toolkit that gives AI agents web search and clean Markdown crawling, built on Crawl4AI. Search queries the configured providers, SearXNG and/or You.com, in parallel and merges the results. It runs on your own hardware, needs no API key with SearXNG and succeeds searxng-mcp.
Web searchYour own SearXNG instance and/or the You.com API, queried in parallel; results are merged and attributed to their providers, filtered by language and time range. Page crawlOne or many URLs to Markdown or JSON, with repeated blocks removed and links optionally stripped. Site crawlWhole sites with depth and page limits, tuned for documentation. Authenticated crawlsCapture a login session once with crawl-capture, then crawl behind the login. STDIO and HTTPPlug into local MCP clients, or expose an HTTP endpoint with host and CORS guards. CLI and Python APIcrawl, search and crawl-capture on the command line, or import it in Python.
