A developer open-sourced an MCP Server to avoid paying for expensive search APIs. The tool connects directly to DuckDuckGo and Bing, allowing for web search, image search, and page scraping (returning clean Markdown) without requiring any API keys.
The author honestly noted that tests are currently minimal, sharing their personal journey of building this project while dealing with depression. The tool offers a prebuilt binary and can be installed with a single command.
