websearch-mcp (gawirable/websearch-mcp) is an MCP server listed on the M8ven Trust Index. M8ven has not graded it: we have no way to read this server ourselves. No publisher has claimed this listing.
A self-hosted MCP server that gives AI agents deep internet research capabilities — no API keys required, powered by SearxNG, Playwright, and Docker.
Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

Install from
M8ven verifies MCPs across every public registry — install directly from whichever one you prefer.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

Tool annotations
No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
4/4 tools missing one or more hints — search_internet (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); fetch_page (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); execute_python (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +1 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
License file
No license file
Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).
Tool test coverage
Only 0/4 tools referenced in tests (0%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Tests pass
npm test failed — tests do not pass
Make sure npm test runs cleanly. Common cause: missing build step or missing env vars.
Shell command execution
2 child_process calls — runs shell commands
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 1 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.2 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
Dev dependencies
2 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)
Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.
Dependency freshness
1/7 production deps stale: async-mutex@2024-03-11 (2.3y)
