Installation
npx -y @oevortex/ddg_search@latestSecurity Notes
The server employs good security practices, including rotating user agents to mitigate detection during web scraping and robust input validation for all search queries and parameters. Network requests use timeouts to prevent hangs from unresponsive external services. Critically, it explicitly states 'No API keys required', which reduces the risk of credential exposure. Error handling for tool execution is comprehensive, returning structured error messages without crashing the server. The server's own source code does not implement explicit rate limiting, but this might be handled by the underlying MCP SDK or is expected from the consuming client.
