MCP Web Tools
paifas · MCP server
Gives your AI assistant web search and page content extraction. Search runs on SearXNG, either a public instance or your own, or on Tavily; extraction runs on Firecrawl, keyless or self-hosted, or on Tavily. By default it uses a public SearXNG instance and keyless Firecrawl, so no API key is needed, though the volunteer-run public instance may be down or rate-limited and keyless Firecrawl allows about 1000 extractions a month. Three further tools read public GitHub repositories, anonymously except code search, which needs a GitHub token.

Why it's useful
Your assistant gets web search and page reading that need no API key by default, and you can swap in hosted or self-run backends when you want.
What you could do with it
- Search recent news only, with a time range and a limit on the number of results.
- Run search and extraction wholly on your own machine by self-hosting SearXNG and Firecrawl.
- Read the content of a public GitHub repository without signing in.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.
Receipt history: every signed receipt for every version of this listing, and what changed between them.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.7.1, the file with digest sha512-wv/N0hh64Tbt4GYIsSor/l2+pVMvyvs+J9JhOz5rvJzmUaTsqzjvJCK9yblYBL3BUaeZwti+X8qDVPIDUXvKAA==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.
The badge, if this is your listing
It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
