Summary
Search that does not go through anyone's API.
The query never leaves your own infrastructure: your node answers it, from its own crawl or from peers. That is the trade to weigh — coverage depends on what your node and the network have indexed, and in exchange nobody is logging what you searched for.
What it is
A search call against a YaCy instance you run. YaCy is a peer-to-peer search engine, so the results come from your own index or from the peer network rather than from a commercial search API.
What you get
- Web search answered by your own YaCy node
- A choice per query between your local index and the global peer network
- A result limit you set, defaulting to ten
Requirements
A running YaCy instance — the server expects one at localhost:8090 unless you point it elsewhere. Launched with uvx on your PATH.
Setup effort
One command — uvx yacy_mcp
