Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name duck-duck-scrape-mcp
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.)

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

From the repository

Since the server is not published to npm, configure it in your .mcp.json using the github: directive: set the command to npx with arguments -y and github:mmkal/duck-duck-scrape-mcp.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

duck-duck-scrape-mcp

An MCP server for (free!) search results via duckduckgo

This is like the Brave search mcp server, but it's just scraping duckduckgo. Consult duckduckgo's tos before using.

How to use

It's not currently published to npm, so use the github: directive:

.mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "duckduckgo-web-search": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "github:mmkal/duck-duck-scrape-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
