🔍 MCP Web Search Server

Free forever. No API key required. A web search MCP server that works out of the box with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI tool.

pip install heventure-search-mcp

✨ Why?

Most MCP search servers require you to sign up for API keys (Bing, Google, SerpAPI...). This one works immediately — zero configuration, zero cost, zero sign-ups.
