Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an assistant search Rabbytte, a small human-curated web index, and get cited answers drawn only from it.

What you can do
Search the curated index by keyword, with paging, returning titles, URLs, descriptions, tags and addresses where known. Ask a natural-language question and get an answer grounded strictly in the index, with cited sources, or an explicit statement that the index has no answer.
When to use it
Useful when you want web results that a person has vetted rather than crawled or SEO-driven pages, for example finding independent blogs or local businesses. A reasonable grounding source for small, hand-picked lookups; not a substitute for a general web search engine.
Requirements
Node.js 18 or newer; the server runs locally via npx over stdio. No API key or signup. Network access to the Rabbytte service, which defaults to the public instance and can be redirected with the RABBYTTE_URL environment variable.
Before you install
Search queries and questions are sent to the Rabbytte service over the network, so do not put sensitive information in them. Results are limited to a small curated index, so absence of a result does not mean something does not exist. The optional RABBYTTE_URL setting points the server at another instance, which then receives your queries.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Rabbytte in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

rabbytte-mcp

Search Rabbytte from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible assistant.

Rabbytte is a small, human-curated search engine. Every site in the index was submitted by a person and approved by a person. No crawler, no SEO spam, no machine-generated filler. That makes it useful grounding data: when an assistant searches Rabbytte, every result is a site a human already vetted.

The whole index is free to use. No API key, no signup.

Install

You need Node.js 18 or newer. The server is published on npm and runs with npx, so there is nothing to clone or build.

Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json (Claude → Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "rabbytte": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "rabbytte-mcp"]    }  }}

Restart Claude Desktop. You can then ask things like "search Rabbytte for independent music blogs" or "ask Rabbytte what it knows about self-storage in Canyon Lake."

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add rabbytte -- npx -y rabbytte-mcp

Cursor

Add the same block to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "rabbytte": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "rabbytte-mcp"]    }  }}

Anything else that speaks MCP

The server uses stdio transport. Point your client at npx -y rabbytte-mcp and it will work.
