🚀 OneSearch MCP Server: Web Search, URL Discovery, Scraper & Content Prep
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that integrates with multiple search providers for web search, local browser search, URL discovery, and scraping capabilities with agent-browser.
Features
- Web search, scrape, discover URLs, and preprocess content from websites.
- Support multiple search engines and web scrapers: SearXNG, Tavily, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Google, Zhipu (智谱), Exa, Bocha (博查), You.com, etc.
- Local web search (browser search), support multiple search engines: Bing, Google, Baidu, Sogou, etc.
- Use agent-browser for browser automation.
- Free, no API keys required.
- Enabled tools: onesearch, onescrape, onemap, oneextract
Current Tool Surface
- one_search
- Returns search results from the configured provider.
- one_map
- Discovers links from a starting URL by loading the page in the browser and extracting links from its HTML.
- Supported input fields: url, search, includeSubdomains, limit.
- This is not a sitemap crawler; removed fields such as ignoreSitemap and sitemapOnly are rejected at the schema boundary.
- one_scrape
- Scrapes one page and returns content selected by formats.
- Supported input fields: url, formats, waitFor, timeout, skipTlsVerification, allowExecuteJavascript, actions.
- Supported formats: markdown, html, rawHtml, links, screenshot, screenshot@fullPage.
- Supported bounded pre-scrape actions: wait, click, write, press, scroll.
- Advanced pre-scrape action: executeJavascript. If actions contains executeJavascript, you must set allowExecuteJavascript: true.
Migration from v1.1.0 and Earlier
Breaking Changes in v1.1.0:
- Firecrawl Removed: The Firecrawl integration has been removed in favor of agent-browser, which provides similar functionality without requiring external API services.
- New Browser Requirement: You must install Chromium browser (see Prerequisites section).
- Environment Variables: FIRECRAWLAPIURL and FIRECRAWLAPIKEY are no longer used.
What Changed:
- onescrape and onemap now use agent-browser instead of Firecrawl
- one_extract now preprocesses multi-URL page content for downstream analysis instead of performing built-in LLM extraction
- All browser-based operations are now handled locally, providing better privacy and no API costs
Migration Steps:
- Install Chromium browser (see Prerequisites)
- Remove FIRECRAWLAPIURL and FIRECRAWLAPIKEY from your environment variables
- Update to the latest version: npm install -g one-search-mcp@latest
Prerequisites
Browser Requirement: This server uses agent-browser for web scraping and local search, which requires a Chromium-based browser.
Good News: The server will automatically detect and use browsers already installed on your system:
- ✅ Google Chrome
- ✅ Microsoft Edge
- ✅ Chromium
- ✅ Google Chrome Canary
If you don't have any of these browsers installed, you can:
# Option 1: Install Google Chrome (Recommended)
# Download from: https://www.google.com/chrome/
# Option 2: Install Microsoft Edge
# Download from: https://www.microsoft.com/edge
# Option 3: Install Chromium via agent-browser
npx agent-browser install
# Option 4: Install Chromium directly
# Download from: https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium/Installation
Using Claude Code CLI (Recommended)
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
Install directly
Runs npx -y one-search-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.
