Open-WebSearch is a free web search server for AI agents that needs no API keys.
What it does
Open-WebSearch is a free web search server for AI agents that needs no API keys. It collects results from several engines, including Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Baidu, Startpage, Sogou, CSDN, Juejin and Hacker News, returns titles, links and descriptions, and can fetch the text of a generic web page, a GitHub README or a CSDN article. The same package works as an MCP server over stdio, HTTP or both, as a command-line tool, or as a local HTTP daemon, and an optional skill guides an agent through setup. It supports an HTTP proxy and a configurable default engine.
