From the repository
Install locally by cloning the repository, running npm install and npm run build, then adding the server to your MCP client configuration using the streamableHttp or SSE transport at http://localhost:3000/mcp or http://localhost:3000/sse. Docker deployment is also available via docker-compose up -d or a direct Docker run command. The server exposes three tools: search, fetchCsdnArticle, and fetchLinuxDoArticle. Configure default search engine, proxy, and CORS via environment variables.
