free-search-mcp is a local-first Model Context Protocol server that needs no
API key. It lets any LLM (Claude, GPT, a local Ollama model, …) search the web,
fetch and clean up pages, and read documents, and you never sign up for a
search API.

It combines ideas from several open-source MCP servers in one Python package,
and adds the output shaping for LLMs and the reliability work that each of them
lacked.
