Before you install Mcpsurfr

What it can access

An MCP server is a program your AI app starts and talks to. A local one runs with your user's permissions: it can see the files, environment variables and network your account can.

Before you install

Pin the version you reviewed instead of always installing the latest release.
Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.

Tools Mcpsurfr exposes (4)

Listed by the server itself during our scan of commit ecad09c.

rag_search_ddgs
Search the web and return the most relevant pages as text, for when whole pages are wanted (search returns only the relevant passages). Results are re-ranked locally by semantic similarity to the query before the top pages are fetched.
search
Search the web and return only the passages that answer the query, not whole pages: usually about a tenth of the text of rag_search_ddgs. Use this first. Tiers, cheapest first: 1. Search, then keep the top_pages results whose title/snippet match best. 2. Fetch those pages, split them into ~600-char
read_url
Read one page whose URL you already have: a link the user pasted, or one from earlier results. HTML or PDF. With a query, returns only the passages that answer it, the same way search does; without one, the page's main text (cut to the shared budget).
deep_research
Research a topic across several search terms and engines. Each term is searched on each backend, results are re-ranked locally by relevance, duplicates are removed, and the best pages are fetched as text. Backends: auto, brave, duckduckgo, google, grokipedia, mojeek, startpage, wikipedia, yahoo. -
