A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides web search capabilities through DuckDuckGo, with additional features for content fetching and parsing.
Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. 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.
DDG_SAFE_SEARCH"": "STRICT",DDG_REGION"": "cn-zh"DDG_SEARCH_BACKENDConfigure the search backend with the --search-backend CLI flag or the environment variable (auto (default) / httpx / curl):DDG_CA_CERTSOr set =/path/to/proxy-ca.pem. The bundle is used by both the search and fetch_content tools, on the httpx and curl backends alike.DDG_SSL_VERIFYAs a last resort, --no-ssl-verify (or =0) disables certificate verification entirely. This exposes traffic to interception by anyone on the network path — prefer --ca-certs.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
2/2 tools missing one or more hints — search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); fetch_content (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). 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.

Add it once and ask Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to grade a server, surface CVEs, check the publisher, and suggest safer alternatives — before you install.
