This is an MCP server that passes requests from an LLM to a search engine (eg DuckDuckGo). The benefit of using this with a local LLM like LM Studio, is the bypass of paywalls. Everything runs freely off your local system(s).

To install, make sure you first run: pip install ddgs

Then run the file: python mcp_server.py

Note the path to this file as it is used to configure the JSON config of your LLM.
