Wigolo launches local-first MCP search engine
wigolo is a local-first search, crawl, and research tool designed specifically for AI coding agents over the Model Context Protocol (MCP). By running browser engines and embeddings locally, it eliminates external API costs and provides capabilities like HTML fetching, recursive crawling, and structured data extraction under the AGPL-3.0 license.
Local-first search and web crawling for AI agents is a game-changer for privacy, offline development, and keeping API costs at zero.
* Eliminates the need for recurring API costs by running search and crawling processes locally on user hardware.
* Highly synergistic with modern agentic frameworks and terminals like Claude Code that support MCP.
* AGPL-3.0 licensing protects the project from being packaged into a closed-source paid SaaS.
* Easy deployment options via Docker and npx simplify integration with existing development setups.
