Description
Web search using SearXNG instance via MCP. Provides web search capability for agents with configurable SearXNG endpoint.
Usage Guidance
This package appears to implement a straightforward SearxNG search wrapper, but the registry metadata is missing required binaries and the SEARXNG_URL environment variable that the code expects. Before installing: - Confirm the SEARXNG_URL you will use and that it points to a trusted SearxNG instance (your search queries will be sent to that endpoint). - Verify locally that the included files (mcp-server.py and searxng_search.sh) are the code you expect; they are readable and do not contain obfuscated or hidden network endpoints. - If you require metadata accuracy, ask the publisher to update the registry entry to declare required binaries (python3, curl, jq) and the SEARXNG_URL env var. - Run the server/script in a sandbox or with restricted network access if you are unsure about exposing queries externally. - If you plan to use this in automated agent runs, ensure the MCP integration and SEARXNG_URL do not inadvertently expose private or sensitive data to the configured SearxNG instance. If the metadata mismatch was accidental, the skill itself is coherent with its stated purpose; if the omission was intentional, treat it as a red flag and avoid installing until clarified.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: searxng-search-2 Version: 0.1.2 The OpenClaw AgentSkills bundle for SearXNG search appears benign. Both `searxng_search.sh` and `mcp-server.py` correctly URL-encode user queries using `jq -sRr @uri` and `urllib.parse.quote` respectively, preventing injection vulnerabilities when interacting with the configured SearXNG instance. The `SEARXNG_URL` is an environment variable, requiring explicit user configuration, and there is no evidence of hardcoded malicious endpoints, data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or prompt injection attempts in `SKILL.md`. The skill's functionality is clearly aligned with its stated purpose of providing web search.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's files (mcp-server.py and searxng_search.sh) implement exactly what the description says: calling a SearxNG instance and exposing it via an MCP server or script. However, the registry metadata lists no required binaries or env vars while SKILL.md and the code require python3, curl, jq and the SEARXNG_URL environment variable. That metadata mismatch is an incoherence to investigate.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs only to set SEARXNG_URL, copy config.json into mcporter config, install mcporter, and run the provided server/script. The runtime instructions and code read only SEARXNG_URL and perform HTTP requests to the configured SearxNG endpoint; they do not attempt to read arbitrary local files or other environment variables.
Install Mechanism
There is no automated install spec (instruction-only), so nothing arbitrary is downloaded or written by an installer. The only external install command suggested is 'npm install -g mcporter' for the MCP runtime, which is reasonable for this integration.
Credentials
The actual code requires a single environment variable SEARXNG_URL (and the SKILL.md lists required binaries), but the registry metadata declares no required env vars or binaries. This omission is disproportionate to the packaging information and could lead users to install without providing or understanding the external endpoint to which queries will be sent.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true or other elevated persistence. It runs as a normal MCP server or script and does not modify other skills or global agent settings.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install searxng-search-2
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /searxng-search-2
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
