Compare two AI tools side by side
Put any two skills or MCP servers next to each other: risk grade, what each can access, how popular it is, and how to install it.

| Type | App connector | App connector |
| Est. context load | ~1.2k tokens / turn (~7 tool schemas, 0.6% of 200k context) | ~550 tokens / turn (~3 tool schemas, 0.27% of 200k context) |
| GitHub stars | 2 | 1.3k |
| Weekly npm downloads | 309 | 19.4k |
| Local files | Reads & writes local folders | No local folder access noted |
| Command execution | No shell command runner noted | Runs shell or system commands |
| Network reach | Connects to outside service API | Local or standard API calls |
| Credentials | No API token required | Requires API key or token |
| Package source | npm (searxng-mcp-server) | npm (mcp-searxng) |
| Install command | npx -y searxng-mcp-server | npx -y mcp-searxng |
| Bottom line | searxng-mcp-server reads local files; restrict its folder reach, network access, and credentials before installing. | mcp-searxng (MCP server) requires careful permission scoping — searXNG instance trust: If using a public or third-party SearXNG instance, that operator sees all search queries—verify you control or fully trust the instance |
