What io.github.MRNAQA/sourceweave-web-search does

sourceweave-search-mcp is the default local entrypoint. When explicit SOURCEWEAVE_SEARCH_* endpoint variables are absent, it discovers or starts the local Docker-backed stack automatically. If you already run the services yourself, set explicit endpoints and it will use them instead.

README

SourceWeave Web Search

Search-first MCP server and CLI for web research.

[!NOTE] sourceweave-search-mcp is the default local entrypoint. When explicit SOURCEWEAVE_SEARCH_* endpoint variables are absent, it discovers or starts the local Docker-backed stack automatically. If you already run the services yourself, set explicit endpoints and it will use them instead.

Overview • Getting started • Managed local runtime • MCP client setup • CLI • Container deployments • OpenWebUI • Runtime configuration • Development

Overview

SourceWeave Web Search gives MCP clients a compact three-tool contract for web research:

search_web(query, domains?, urls?, effort?) discovers sources and returns compact results with stable page_id handles.
read_pages(page_ids, focus?) reads stored pages by page_id.
read_urls(urls, focus?) reads direct URLs without searching first.

It combines:

Component	Role
SearXNG	Search discovery
Crawl4AI	Clean HTML extraction
Redis or Valkey	Persisted page cache and `page_id` store
MarkItDown	Document conversion for PDFs and other supported files

Getting started

Requirements

Python 3.12+
Docker with Compose support for the default managed local runtime
Explicit SOURCEWEAVE_SEARCH_* endpoints only if you want hosted or self-managed services

Managed local runtime

Run the server from the published package:

uvx --from sourceweave-web-search sourceweave-search-mcp

Or start the MCP server over HTTP:

uvx --from sourceweave-web-search sourceweave-search-mcp \
  --transport streamable-http \
  --host 127.0.0.1 \
  --port 8000

When no endpoint env vars are set, sourceweave-search-mcp:

Mode	What happens
Managed stack found	Join the existing SourceWeave-managed stack for the current runtime state directory
Healthy external stack found	Reuse the canonical local ports `19080`, `19235`, and `16379` without ownership
No reusable stack	Start and supervise a Docker-backed stack on canonical or free local ports

Managed state lives under ~/.sourceweave-local/managed-runtime. Multiple MCP processes on the same machine share one managed stack per state directory.

[!IMPORTANT] Managed runtime removes containers only when the last active SourceWeave-managed process exits. Named volumes are preserved, so cache data survives restarts. If the original owning process dies, a later process can recover the same stack from Docker project identity and persisted runtime state.

Explicit endpoint mode

If you already run SearXNG, Crawl4AI, and Redis or Valkey yourself, or want to point at hosted services, set explicit endpoints and the MCP entrypoint will bypass managed Docker startup:

SOURCEWEAVE_SEARCH_SEARXNG_BASE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:19080/search?format=json&q=<query>" \
SOURCEWEAVE_SEARCH_CRAWL4AI_BASE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:19235" \
SOURCEWEAVE_SEARCH_CACHE_REDIS_URL="redis://127.0.0.1:16379/2" \
uvx --from sourceweave-web-search sourceweave-search-mcp

Direct CLI

sourceweave-search runs the tool directly. Use it when the supporting services are already available or when you provide explicit endpoints. It does not start Docker.

sourceweave-search --query "python programming" --read-first-pages 2
sourceweave-search --read-url "https://p
